    Morning All

    I've just put the washing on the line and I'm now going to have a quick bath so I probably won't get as much done this morning.

    Morning everyone.

    Just typical, isn't it. I am not trapped to the house today and what happens? The ferking weather changes. It's cloudy and v. v. warm and quite humid. Oh well, maybe I'll still sit in the garden anyway - just because I can!

    PIGGERS - I think you need to chuck your cast iron mule at me, might knock some sense into me. I have soooo much to do but I'm going to bed now :confused: me too
    Kazm I think you need to prioritise a bit honey - and make a proper list - a detailed one and start crossing bits off - IMHO the first things to make sure are organised is the room sorted out for your student and then everything for the Gibraltar trip - after that you can move on to something else.

    I did manage to get DD2s bra for her prom,half price sale at Debenhams only £12.60p so cheaper than I imagined. Well done - thats a bargain

    Will get DD2 to help with the flying too as she has fnished school now and all her exams so she is at a loose end till college in September. Excellent idea - share the workload and get her into good habits.

    .....I paid my son to cut the back lawn...a bad case of CBA Im afraid. Dont be hard on yourself - its all hard work and it gets the job done

    ...Im not on a diet but am trying to eat better iyswim. - me too -my dietician is going to keep an eye on me ans ee what we can acheive
    mummyyof5 I think you are doing really well and if you have to pay for bits and pieces like the grass to make life easier then do it- it saves you stress and hassle. (hug)

    Quillion HI! was wondering where you were - oh I see ...working on the tan......:rotfl::rotfl::T glad you have been resting then! xx
    G&B oooh that could be expensive:rotfl::rotfl: thanks for the heads up.

    yesterday was hectic - but I coped reasonably well - was out in the morning with my support worker - she is nice and we got on well - managed to do the important things in town and will have to work on the rest. had bloods taken, had the dietician who is lovely ( knew her already) and we have a plan:rotfl::rolleyes: had 9 phone calls in the evening! had the painter in for a chat to see what the plans are and the garden man came back to finish of the back of the house.
    Got told off by my evening carer that I needed to rest more:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: ..oops! I know she is right but its difficult for me that doesnt really no how to say 'no'!!! Will have to work on that bit! I keep hoping that things will settle down here and they probably will but I need to get everyone else organised too. And trying to keep up with the thread - I will have to shorten my posts I think - which is not easy for me that rambles and sticks my nose into everybody's business:rotfl::rotfl:
    Have toxic coming this afternoon for a couple of hours and have told her that we will be tidying the LR so thats not too bad. I will rest and potter this morning.
    Ok off to do stars and then brekkie.
    hope you all have another productive/ flinging/ good day
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Good moring everyone :beer: DD and I got back from Venice in the early hours. We had a lovely time: great weather and fabulous food. It was lovley to spend some real time with just her. We saw lots of art galleries (mainly modern art) and walked for miles :D

    We're off to Leeds Art College today to see their end of year show (DD has a place to study there from September) and possibly some shopping ;)

    This weeks flying will be a combined effort (DH and DS have kept it clean in our absence :T ) so off to find my list.

    Will catch up with you all properly soon.
