No one in their right mind would have me. Added to by the fact that I don't have a babysitter due to DS1. I'm the only one who can deal with DS1 I say deal more prepared to tear my hair out. Doubt it very much OH will do anything to be honest I'm always left dealing with it. I'm not doing it this time though. I keep trying but don't get any help so I give up.

Hugs FFP xx Anyway, I'm not in my right mind, I'll have you here for a visit. I dont think I'm that far away, am I?

Have caught up with the thread.

mojt - so glad things are sorted with the electrics

FFP - well done on clearing Ben Washing!

carlsberggal - huge hugs

holly - hugs for you and all the family

FFP - it's usual to find out on the day about teaching jobs

And on that note

Congratulations sexymouse :j :T :T :j

My Head returned my reports with a note saying 'Very positive reports - well done! A pleasure to read' so am feeling quite pleased with myself

Now need to pack my rucksack for tomorrow - in case you didn't know I'm off to see Take That

greenbee

Everything that was lying around on the patio is now packed up and in the garage again. Appointments booked for two freecyclers, and I've had a third respond. I'm planning on fitting it all in tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed I can get rid of most of it - maybe the person who wanted the lot will take the rest as car boot stuff!

I now need to walk to the post box as a. I need the steps, although all this tidying and sorting has got me over 7000! and b. I need to post the copy of the wedding seating plan that my dad managed to leave behind :rolleyes:

It's still incredibly muggy here, so when I get back I think I'll have a shower and get myself ready for tomorrow morning's gym session. The plan for tomorrow is to take the garden waste to the tip, and then nip into town for a few bits and pieces if it isn't unbearably hot. Oh yes, and do some deadheading and weeding.

Dust sheets are all currently in the WM so they can go on the line and be put away tomorrow. I should be able to get the bedroom, spare room and utility room done by the end of the week, but I'm not sure I'll manage to get the study done. That may be next week's challenge.

FFP - no flyladies are in their right minds... haven't you noticed from the posts We're all here if you need us.

Froddy - have a fantastic time

tooch - are you sticking to your SW diet? If so, maybe you need to get your step count up! Having said that, I'm not losing much weight, but I appear to be changing shape, so hopefully I'll end up going down a size or two - I just wish I had hex's willpower!

Valli

wtg sexymouse

toochoosey

Greenbee, no I'm not really sticking to it TBH I seem to need a shove in most areas of my da to day routine at the mo....I went to find a list and ended up on facebook??????????????????

toottifrootti

ooh I cant believe it - I have finally caught up with you all!!!!

Forgot to tell you last night that I had a text from SGT to say they were just boarding the ferry - will let you know when I hear more.
I hope Dusty and Anw'sMum are getting over their insect bites etc.
bevan hope Dh is more comfortable and not getting too anxious about the hospital ( I know its not easy!) The heat wont be helping him either. I think its lovely that you are enjoying having him at home - hope he is fit to enjoy having time with you too. Well done for complaining about the noise - some people have no consideration - hope you both have a restful night tonight. (((hugs)))
Tia REST rest and rest some more!!!!!!
this is it belated (((hugs))) for you honey - ignore that ignorant person in the playground - smile sweetly and walk away - it will annoy tht hell out of them and wonder what you have been up to!!! Dont let them see it bothers you and try not to let it bother you at all - they are pathetic and trying to be bullies - they are to be pitied - you dont need them!!! Hope Af behaves herself and doesnt make you feel too bad.
hex what a numpty you are (((hugs))) I hope the ankle heals really quickly............but of course it will only do that if you REST!!!!! and you could cuddle the kitten!!!:D
mummyyof5 hope DH gets home again real soon and you get your evening out - or could you go out with some friends?
DayDreamBeliever - awh bless you angel for trying to keep things 'normal' for your niece - it cant be easy. hope you get your assignment done ok.

I am seriously struggling today. I just can't get going. And the BD is setting in. I'm trying to fight it but it's slowly taking over my brain. Fog brain has set in.
Going to visit the inlaws in a minute, got to go and have a wash first.
I think I will just aim for level one this week as i am feeling completely overwhelmed by everything and can't cope with even looking at the lists.

rosepink - I am sorry to see you are feeling overwhelmed - when that happens you should stop try to play at catch up - you will just make yourself more disappointed - either just stick to one room for that week and aim to do it all or just focus on whatever the list is for the day and when that day is passed move on to the next list.
As for BD - I see you are still able to post etc so why dont you try to do things on the pc - defrag, virus scan, emails, looking up links/websites etc they all count and are usually on the list - it would be a good time to do any research . If you keep your mind active then it might help shoo the BD away? And what about a hand written list in a nice notebook of things you want to do, books to read, things to make, places to visit, websites to look at etc etc etc so that when you think you might be a bit down you can read through it and remind yourself of nice things and it might cheer you up a bit - or you might see something on your list that you had forgotten about and feel like doing. You need to try all the dodges to keep BD at bay - try very hard and shoo it away.
I am glad you are going to try and look on the positive aspect a bit more - you are right about negative thoughts and feelings being destructive - we all need to let things flow past us more and not let things get to us - there are far more important things in life.

For now i'm just gonna get on with things and see what the doc will say. Hubby doesn't want the doc knowing much but i'll be bursting that bubble, same with his parents as well (they think he is fine), as i can't do it on my own with the kids off as well.
He sould have been in hospital weeks ago but wouldn't go.
Must look for cheap wardrobes for bedroom to, sick of the rails.
Thanks again everyone for the hugs and advice, i've promised myself i'll look after me a bit better.

vanilla honey - huge squishy hugs for you angel. good to hear that Rhys is thriving! he will be happy and contented if he is well fed and I know you wont let him get overweight so dont be worrying about the HV.
As for Dh I noticed you got an appoitment for him today - i do hope he has told the doctor everything - he needs to for his own sake and for you. Maybe you should have a word with the doctor afterwards if you can get a 'quiet' moment - there is no point DH keeping things from the doc - and I think you are doing the right thing by telling his parents EVERYTHING - they need to know so that they can help him/ persuade him or whatever and so that they can support you and realise what a terrible strain you are under.
what about asking on freecycle for wardrobes? or do you have an auction house nearby - big furniture like wardrobes are fairly cheap just now and they are often better quality than what you can buy in the shops.
be sure to keep your promise to look after yourself more - or we will be coming over to sort you out!!!!
toochoosey - well done on thinking about selling your nappy cakes - even if you arent going to use ebay to sell - check out if anyone else is selling similar (I think there is from memory) and get ideas about prices and different designs etc.
fed hugs honey - it will get easier - I know its a bit different but I worked in a crematorium about 18 months after my Dad died and I was surprised how helping other people sort what was needed actually helped me too so maybe your work of helping other people sort out their problems will be a help - if only as a distraction - its nice to hear that your work are being supportive.
kazm I thought you would have needed at least 2 weeks off after all that hard work - Is Lo managing to keep her room tidy? WTG getting the stuff away and getting Dh-to-be kitted out!!!
huge hugs soappie for your 'ab-reaction' - I am glad you persuaded DD to continue - it would be harder for her too because it was you - I am sure when its a client she will be more 'detatched' and better able to deal with any kind of reaction.
pigpen WTG with the debt busting - you must be chuffed to bits!!!:T:T:T:T:T:T
The Golden Goose good luck with the job hunting and be sure to tell us when you have an interview so that we can send flylady *good interview* vibes when required.
Flower sorry you have had to quit the position at the club but you can always go back to it and you will maybe be able to help out as much with out being tied down to meetings etc.
greenbee that was some walk - hope it has helped all your aches and pains - thats great news about your ex - hope he is helpful with your CV

Sexy WELL DONE for coping with the glitches so well - they will see that you cope under pressure - that has to be a good thing.
