Morning everyone - I have been up since just after 5!!!!!!! some nice person woke me making a noise putting their bins out!:rolleyes: and I was restless with the heat so have been lounging about and doing teeny weeny bits!!!!! my throw away total is 71/100 at the mo.

lil_me hope things get a little less manic for you soon

[QUOTE=SarahShattered;22992129Anyway, no work tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to type something sensible tomorrow. I'm too sleepy now. Night all :wave:[/QUOTE]
:hello: Hiya babes I am sorry but these 3 words just dont go together for you:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: But guess what its only 50 days til you are here!!!!:T:T:j:j:jxx

holly hugs again for both your losses angel - I am glad OH has made it secure.
greenbee brilliant idea for soappie -

soappie - I see you've solved the problem of what to do when DS & DiL move out... you're setting up a rest home for exhausted flyladies :rotfl::rotfl:

Bed and Breakfast !!!!!

methekids have a huge gentle (((hug))) can you maybe get different pain killers that might be more effective? I hope work isnt as bad as you think. You shouldnt have to run or chase around DD & DS - they are being typical youngsters but you need to keep on at them to help - its not very fair when they know you are in pain and they are at home doing very little - can you ground them- take the router with you again - confiscate something until they earn it? I am sure they could do loads on the lists - what about not doing their washing and ironing until they start helping - they could be doing it themselves anyway - I am sorry honey I hope I havent offended you I just feel for you so much and I get a bit carried away. (((hugs)))

toochoosey in case I miss you later - have a lovely weekend away. about your pedometer - I had the same trouble as you that it wasnt registering every step but I still used it and at least whatever the total I knew i had done more IYSWIM and I still tried to get more the next day. I found it was where I wore it that made the difference - waistband or belt. (oh I see greenbee has beaten me too it and said it much more professionally too!!)
Good for you in trying to deal with your weight - it takes effort and you really sound determined - I talk about it but dont manage anything:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
triker thats great news about the radiator and that you have found a good honest mechanic.

You must all stop mithering about my list - I love my list and it gives me ideas about what i can try to do - there is no way that I will manage loads of it but it is an incentive to do wee bits!!!
back later

Seems a little cooler this morning, hope it stays that way:j
I was hoovering at 7 30 to avoid the heat, stuff the neighbours i say:D

I used to wonder who the messy one was in this house was:rolleyes:
I discovered it on Wednesday. :cool:
My DD had been back in the house 2 minutes after coming back from her Dads, and my recently cleared sofa and living room floor were littered with her things:mad::mad:

She sat yesterday having a yoghurt on the couch, I told her to put it in the bin when she was finished, what did she do?

Thats right she left it on the couch, covering it in yoghurt:mad:

So Evil Mum is coming out to play:D:j

Anytime from now on she leaves anything lying at her behind, I am putting it in the bin. I dont care what it is either, it is gone:T:D
Is that bad?:A

I will live in hope:rolleyes::D

i was seriously annoyed, cos i hate housework with a passion, and i was SOOOOO proud of myself for making the place clear, and she comes in and ruins it:o:o:o

Jinky - my DS was like that.

Start binning stuff.....when his room is a pit and he wont clean it I go in with a black bag and start loading it up with the contents of the floor.......tears and a drama follows, but now he knows.

We havent had to go through that for a while cos he just picks up now as he goes.......as far as toys etc go

JUICE BOTTLES!! thats another story.....he leaves them lying everywhere. Regardless of what he is doing, i make him stop and come and pick it up and put it in the bin.

When hes outside playing with his friends, he doesnt like having to come in and pick it up.....but if he doesnt want to, then he should have picked it up in the first place!
