    Exactly Helen, thing is we live in seperate houses (long story) and I so feel like a single parent this week (had a little cry about it last night infact :rolleyes: ) I know technically I am but I don't want to feel it lol he was asked to come along and refused cause he has to do building work :rolleyes: so it's his loss, he lives and breathes this extension and it's really starting to get on my yahoobies, there's many things that are annoying me about him at the mo, perhaps the leftovers from AF's visit no doubt. Soz all about the whinge, I just have to think about AnW'smum and the guilt floods over me.

    Aaaanyway, I've google mapped and I know where we're going, it's straight up the road according to the map :D reality may look different, I have no sense of direction anymore..I lost a little bit everytime I sprouted a child.

    Best go check I've got enough change for the Metro, will cost a fortune but the museum is free! :money:

    I've been Money Tipped!
    :hello:Morning!

    I have fallen off the flylady wagon recently, dd has swineflu but is on third day of tamiflu so getting better. (((hugs))) to all those with rotten swine flu!

    House is a wreck so I am printing off the list and will try to do a little on each one today. I can't attempt too much as I have me/cfs and that would be asking for trouble but hey a little in the right direction is all good isn't it?

    (((hugs))) to Triker - Pacing is what makes the difference with this illness, You have limited energy so you have to make choices about how you will use it and rest betweentimes. Rest also means rest (no computer, books, tv - very boring I know but it does work) Getting a mobility scooter or wheelchair on holiday is very wise. The airports were the worse drain on energy but I found folk in America (florida) very helpful and kind.

    Right off to make a gentle start on the bathroom!

    Huge hugs to you embb please don't feel guilty, men are just such exasperating creatures at times, I can totally understand why you are fed up with him. Hope you have a great day at the museum.

    Miss A has just given me a lovely thank you picture for getting her her new chest of drawers :D

    We are going to do some baking today and then this afternoon they need to pack bags for their overnight stay at Nannies.

    Will do some more tidying as we go along.

    Morning everyone,

    Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday all done - kind of finished the bedroom last night, it's not the way I'd like it (i.e. won't get a star) but it will have to do til after the hols. OH is coming down on Friday (we go away Monday), so it will be a challenge in itself to keep everything tidy. I need it to be clean and tidy so we can come back home and not have to clean IYKWIM. Also friend will be watering plants, picking up mail etc., so don't want the embarrassment of an untidy house.
