    I've surpassed myself and hoovered the landing and done all of DS3 room, pulled everything out, dusted skirting/picture rails, cleaned window the lot.

    Tomorrow is another day of tennis for DS2 and it is my turn to take him and his friend, promised them lunch in the sports cafe there as they have been so good and I'll have DS3 with me. DS1 has golf all day.

    Flying plan will be to do the landing and maybe master bedroom - I did it thoroughly last week so it will be a shortened version.

    Pigpen ta for offer but I'm not much company plus I'm worried in case it's infectious whatever I've got.

    Valli really sorry about the job, I hope something spectacular appears for you soon.

    Jo thats awful news, I really don't know what to suggest, sorry, wish I could be more help.

    Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts and wishes, I'm getting really FED UP of feeling rotten so summat's amiss. Doc appt for next tuesday, until then I will attempt to put a smile on my face (maybe a grimace) and a skip in my step (as if kicking something) and get on.

    Hope all the poorlies get better soon.

    Much love to you all, your very out of sorts flylady Triker..xxx
