julie - how are things with DH now?

toottifrootti

I have finally caught up I think but if i have missed you i am really sorry - my head feels like mince ther is that much going on just now!!!!

bonsibabe maybe DH being away will help things for you and give you a breather - its not easy being a partner of someone depressed - and you are right you have to watch it doesnt drag you down and make you ill - is there no support groups? You come and rant anytime you need to we are all willing to listen and offer our tuppence worth!
lil_me that unit looks fab and the carpet looks very similar to what i have chosen too - a very belated I hope DP phoned you later. The holiday to germany sounds exciting at least you have time to think and plan for it - and you are saving money on the new house so fingers crossed you can do it - that was really nice of your friend to ask.
PenPen hope the sausages went done well - they sound scrummy
me thats great news for DS - is there a neighbour or frind that could take DD to work to save you coming back up - or what about a taxi - (you would be saving your time and petrol?) And as for flying in your house I think you are more than making up for it at your parents'!
holly (((hugs))) re that poor girl and her family - what a terrible thing to happen.
funfairprincess - what are you doing stripping wallpaper - you are meant to be taking it easy!!!!
rach glad you are feeling better
triker - it sounds like you are doing too much again?????
likklegibbon what a shame honey to miss your weekend away - hope you are feeling much better today - Happy Anniversary for whenever it is???? But did you really have to frighten me with that bit of information regarding X*** - 17 weeks is scary:eek::eek:

sexy hope you have a great time at the air show
rosepink I hope your headache has gone and you can get on with your LR - not drinking enough often cause a heaadache and watching tv probably wasnt a good idea - you are staring at the screen and could be causing more strain - a wee bit of fresh air might have helped.
Ishtar hope things have improved for you a bit by now -
Valli Wow!!!!!!!!! what a lot you saw and did - sounds like a fab time - did the kids enjoy it too?
juliejim hope the kitties are ok - are you having one?
kazw goodluck with the concrete and the turf - hope you get the right weather to get more done in the garden.
carlsberggal many congratulations to your DD - thats great news xx Hope you manage to get your third star !!
pigpen congratulations on your credit certificate - thats a brilliant total - well derserved after all the traumas you had getting your course work done.
lil_me - hope BIL has helped and not let you down again
soappie nice photos - sounds like a lovely evening - and i am not speaking to you either - especially since the reds didnt appear here when they were meant to!!!!:rotfl:
jaynebryan - glad you have got the family organised to help you
oh sexy thank you for the giggle - my vision of you reading a bedtime story to A :rotfl::rotfl:
boddy hope Jake has returned safely -fingers crossed for another quiet night for you. at least when you retire it wont affect you and going to work quite so badly but you shouldnt have to put up with it at all.
Triker I am soo pleased that puddy is going to be ok - hope she is recovered already.
ellenandjess WOW :T:T 12 bags is very impressive - it will get easier every week so keep it going as much as you can
soappie oh dear - being that she is a grown woman she should be uo and do it herself this morning - how annoying for you.
embb enjoy your bike ride - hope the homeward trip isnt too painful!!!:rolleyes:
lady L - thinking of you angel and hope you get the pain under control today. xx
Jo hope you get all the things done you want to over the next few days - take care angel xx
oh dear jinky hope it doesnt go pear shaped - and I hope you feel better later.
bonsibabe - good to hear you chirpy today -well done getting the school meals sorted - thats a good start.
juliejim well done with the decluttering it will soon make a difference - and I wont comment on the other - its waaaaay too early :rotfl:

off to find my list :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Valli

Kids off with exOH and his 'gf' I say gf - she's a granny ***cackles like witch*** to Clumber Park - ***rubs chin in style of emmb*** make a change from him doing his weekly shop with them in Mr T (it makes me cross that he sees them from 11:30-7:00 pm on a saturday and also, in that time, does his weekly shop usually). I have a hellish back, my newly developed back problem combined with AFs contribution - not nice - Nurofen and Vit B taken (apparently will improve my 'temper' re PMT according to my mother who is banging on at me to go on HRT). Since I have the packet open virtual painkillers for Jinky and what HAVE you been up to now?

WM on line. Bathroom floor needs redoing because the stoopid kitty has scraped the litter up to the corner of the tray and tiddled over the side:rolleyes: more WM on now; beds stripped so need redoing - perfect job for a flylady with a poorly back:rolleyes::rolleyes:

see you later!

Oh Soappie would any of those nice mechanics need their spanners polishing?

Toots~~~ you make sure you find a small list!!!

Nice young man has been in garden since 8am to 9am then had to go some where, came back at 10.30am so he didn't go far, but he is getting on well, edging in, now he is about to start on the wall.

All lists are done wooohoooo wooohoooo (OH hoovered the whole house, inc moving the sofa and chairs, which helps no end)
I have also sorted out a major hot spot, I have been walking round for weeks, most of the rubbish is in the recycling bin, why I never did it sooner I will never know.
Cleaned the outside of all the downstairs windows, and some of the inside ones as well.
OH and I sored out some of the late Rosie cats combs, covers etc and both ended up in tears, as she would normally have been nosing to see what we were up to on a Saturday morning................we 'think' we will take her 2 beds to Quainton this is an Rspca rescue home, where cat1 came from, but we are not sure yet, as we may want another younger cat, so her beds have been cleaned ie hoovered to get the hair out, not that it took too long, and for now I have put them under a table...................cat1 never goes near them, and likes our bed!!!!

Not sure what to do next, I'll have a nosey at what you have all been up to and copy some of your lists.

soappie - yuk, at least if you do it yourself you know the job will be done well!

Yes was a bit yuk but it has been done and very thoroughly! I could have waited for her to do it but I wanted to use the bathroom myself! She's still in bed. I can't get too cross. First time I've seen her in that state.....

Rach - the fact you coughing up stuff is good - means things are shifting.
Valli - yes there was food - food for the eyes and food for the stomach

Lady_L and Sexym - just heard on the radio you've got the Vulcan at Shoreham this afternoon sometime after 3.

No but they might need help with their pitot tubes and the taller one on the right told me he's from Nottingham :cool:

I really need to shift my butt. DH's mate hasn't arrived yet, which was going to be my trigger to get showered and dressed. The tension is high here with the cricket so I feel all on edge!

I think I'll do a few bits off the list then get showered. I should be able to get kitchen & Bathroom/study stars without too much effort!

bonsibabe

toottifrootti - thanks hun:grouphug:! I feel better today and think its because he is away with his dad. I felt terrible when I thought it but it is like a holiday for me too - I don't have to support him this week. sounds awful but its like a weight is off my shoulders! unfortunately i havent found any support groups round my way but my parents are just a 10 minute walk from me so I can usually go there for a rant:D!

just off to start on the kitchen. DH made tea before he left yesterday and destroyed my kitchen lol:eek:. thats what i get for marrying a qualified chef! but it is not that bad really. I have a load of paperwork on the worktop that needs sorted out so going to do that as well. then gonna get the kids to play the tidying up game:rotfl:! if they think they are going to earn spending money for next year then they will hopefully be up to it!

right am off to sort out loads of stuff. i want a duvet day tomorrow lol! it'll never happen but i can dream hahaha:rotfl:
