    I quite often feel like that!

    I've got as far as p.14 but DH wants the lappy back now.
    Have put myself on a cleaning cycle and decluttered some toast. We are going to see Massa interviewed on ITV news in a minute. They showed a picture of him, his face looks a bit mushed up poor thing

    Fedup, hope your interview tomorrow goes well, you go get em girl! You will be great I just know it.

    Embb if you get a circuit breaker, your teenie won’t be able to electrocute himself cutting the grass, neither will you! It’s a sad story tho about the boy who died mowing the lawn

    Witchypoo really glad to hear about the hotel!

    Tashja it sounds like you had a lot planned for the day if your meds are making you ill. Try to look after yourself while you are feeling rough, don’t push yourself too hard xx

    Well done Mrs MH on your weight loss! That’s fab! I’m going to weigh myself tomorrow, doubt I’ve lost anything as I was very naughty over the weekend, but need to get back on track. Have lots of healthy food coming from Mr T tmrw too

    Elf, sorry about your friend. As others have said, I wouldn’t let her come round again and only meet up at her place or a caf! or something so that her kids can’t wreck your place. If she asks why, tell her. She seems very rude TBH and seems to have no control over her children. Her badly behaved kids will grow up into badly behaved adults.

    Quillion, yep our loo roll holder sits on the floor and there is a metal stick that you put the loo rolls on, it’s meant to take 3 at a time but I just keep on stacking them on and lean the loo rolls against the wall so they don’t fall over. I got so fed up with being the only one ever to put the loo rolls on when the old ones had run out so this is my solution. DH sometimes moans that he can’t reach (he is shorter than me) but it’s tough isn’t it! It’s the only way I can get revenge for the annoying things he does LOL!

    CyclingYorkie and Lilac and Soappie and Dusty and Triker and Mudbath hope you are better soon

    Hi, my computer is still giving me grief so if I disappear don't assume I'm sulking ;)

    I've done the kitchen today and half the living room. I still need to do the stairs tomorrow.

    Hope everyone's OK, I haven't had time to read anything in between swearing and gritting my teeth.

    I've done all my ironing. Still feeling a bit blurrrrrr but it could be because I have one of my bites on my leg - I can still cover it with my hand at present so sure it hasn't peaked yet.

    Heading up to bed in a minute. Sleep tight x

    Ha ! well I went to school to 'tidy up' and ended up moving all my furniture into the middle of the room and painting 3 walls!!! Still need to do the last one but it will have to wait until another day as I got kinda tired!!

    On the flying at home front I have washed and dried the sheets and duvet cover on the spare bed as out guest has gone, cleaned and tidied my kitchen and eaten far too much crap :(

    My ex rang last night at 11.30pm for our daughter's land line number, he needed to tell her that his mum had been found dead at home, she was only 60, so then at 11.40 I had a distraught daughter on the phone, she lives in Northern Ireland poor love and wanted to come straight home but there has to be a coroner's investigation as it's an unexplained death so no news when the funeral will be. Daughter is supposed to be having surgery on 18th and has been 'waiting' to get the problem sorted for 2 years now so I hope they don't clash :( I said I'd go to the funeral to support her. I actually got on fairly well with my ex-MIL and feel quite sad about the whole thing

    Hey ho off to bed night night all!
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Hey ho off to bed night night all!

    Sorry to hear about your ex MIL and fingers crossed that the funeral doesnt clash with DD's surgery. I dont know how long she had been your MIL but I went to my ex FIL's funeral and I hadnt seen any of the family for over 10 years and they were lovely to me. I hope it is the same for you x

    Still havent found shoes or gone back to update on the thread so have about 10 pages missing but I'm off to bed now

    Nightall
