    Im glad youve had a nap Toots. I hope your taking it easy xx

    No - I havent been to the docs, i think Im just a bit burnt out to be honest with everything thats gone on recently with work and home. I keep trying to catch up on much-needed sleep, but my bedroom is cream, with cream curtain and when the sun comes up at 4am - its shining straight in my window!

    I have an abnormally wide window in my bedroom, so would have to have a blind especially made for it, and as its a rented house, I dont really want to spend a fortune having blackout blinds made! I will invest in some new curtains soon, but they havent been a priority. xx

    Afternoon ladies, have got rid of hubby for another week:p He works away mon-fri so i'm getting peace and quiet. Just pottering round and watching the tennis. If anyone is interested Laura Robson is currently beating Hantuchova.

    OCD? or exaggeration? hmmm


    Mind you... I clean mine 3 times a day top to bottom including the loft, inbetween working 25 hours a day, I mow front and back lawns daily and prepare delicious homecooked meals from scratch for my 14 children and 12 dogs!!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You make me laugh, I was in a right old mood been stomping around cleaning (it is amazing what you can do when your angry though) and now I can't stop laughing.

    Yep, lets get going then, although mines already packed up ready to be deposited.;)


    Are you going to keep count, last time, OH looked at me in a 'omg she's finally lost it' way when I marched round the house chuntering '1,2,3,4,..............246,247,248...' :rotfl:

    Good fun though.:D

    Yep - I get that look alot:rotfl:

    No but I didnt want everyone to feel inadequate next to me!!


    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    and the laughing continues........


    Flying wise I've hovered all the house, cleaned porch, done dishes, pestered neighbors dad about gardening advise (I think he's going to start to hide from me), been to get stuff that he advised but shop doesn't have any but checked asda and put it on Wednesday's delivery, wash and drying 1 load another in wash, polished surfaces.

    And that was in a space of two hours angry me stage, but I'm happy now thanks to Mrs B, I have had a long bubble bath this morning after dropping ds of at nursery and pampered myself (to make me feel better), I was fine and then I thought about the "issue" and got my back up again, I won't go into it as I will rile myself up again. I think tonight I will write a letter to the person and shread it, I think I read that advise on this board. I'm off to play with DS now.... happy flying.....I will be doing a HHI at 2pm if anyone wants to join me.
