Dusty - your instrument of torture is on its way.

My hayfever has gone mental today!

WM is on, just having some breakfast as feeling a little light headed, will fly after.

Morning all,

Hoping to get home from work (had a headache and wanted to get sent home, but it's ok now, damnation), and get started on the kitchen again.

Going to miss the gym tonight, good excuse to watch finale of Grey's too, and make sure the kitchen is finished. I will be so happy just to see 1 room looking spick & span, plan is to do a deep clean in each room, then (hopefully) it will be easier to follow the day to day plans. Really want the house looking great before holiday in 6 weeks time (can't have friend in watering plants in a manky house)!

Yeah the sun is out - and I am stuck in work!

Don't even get me started on hayfever, I have been worse this year than ever! Started new tablets yesterday and whilst my sniffles have calmed down, my head is bursting (one of the side effects) :mad:

WM on cleaning cloth wash.

Feeling mega tired today and CBA after waking up to an incontinent Mr old dog again for the 3rd day running. I know he can't help it as he is mega old but it still grinds me down.

Think I'll strip the bedding and wash it later on then might attempt to paint the outside wall so at least I feel I have done something today.

Hope everyone with hayfever feels better later.

Bereavement counsellor rang to arrange the first appt yesterday after an 8mth wait from me referring myself. Feel nervous about it now as she is coming to the house aswell. Still see how it goes next week. It's only now I feel I can face up to this 3yrs later, so deep breath.

Will look for some easy things to do off the list later on and then take Mr young dog out for a long walk later on today to get out in the fresh air and not just housework all day.

Hugs and smiles for everyone today

Oooh - me too!! Valli - quick!! - sign her up to the club before the others try and talk her out of matching pegs :rotfl: :rotfl:

Two funny stories from school:

We were doing the story of the Creation and I asked them what God did on the 7th day as he was very tired. One boy looked very thoughtful and said 'ooh, let me think ..... I know ...... I think he played archery :rotfl::rotfl:

One girl in another class was talking about her mum's new laptop and how she was allowed to use it. Teacher asked her what sort of laptop it was - after some thought, girl replied 'Oh, I remember the name - mum said it was a dodgy laptop :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl:

When DS1 was getting his knockout jag in hospital the Dr. was asking him if he had seen Harry Potter (the first one) DS1 replied Yes I have it on video. The Dr says that's a good trick when it's just out at the pictures. Oooooooo they would get you hung!!!!!!!!!!!

And repeat after me Pegs should be of rainbow colours Pegs should be of rainbow colours Pegs should be of rainbow colours
Pegs should be of rainbow colours

Thanks for this I miss wollies. You do your nappy cake I'd have really liked something like that where the giver had gone to a lot of effort. I'm sure it will be loved. I have always favored hand made stuff for my kids over shop bought. Your 'friend' is just worried her prezzie will look crap next to yours!

GnB thanks I'm now sitting on my hands and have asked DD to hide my cards!

Pigpen What's happening about the swap shop?? I have a pile gathering and I'm clearing the two boys wardrobes and drawers today. So far I have found 3 items still with tags on:o I just don't want a hotspot building:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Toots Take it easy. In your own words baby steps baby steps. Rest when you can and don't let toxic have you running around doing for her, repeat after me, no, No, NO! honey you take care.

My hayfever has gone mental today!

Thank you so much I shaved my legs yesterday so will have to wait a few days to use it but will update you all on how I get on.

Hugs for all hayfever suffers - I know from DS3 how miserable it can be

I'm really on a go slow, not sure if it is the heat or just too many late cricket night - another match tonight - poor kids are exhausted but I have to take them all to most as it goes on so long.

Serena - is DS2 not doing cricket this year?

Kaz thanks for sharing the photos, they cheered me up

Toots good luck with taking it easy, I so don't see that happening.

DS2 got a gold award in his maths challenge which is great, he was very matter of fact as usual

I'm feeding a neighbours cat and it is AWOL this morning - hope it turns up later.

Right need to put the washing on - now I have located it from various parts of the house and off to lidl and morrisons - I'll be back late morning so somebody get the kettle on.
