    We are humouring Dusty:D She said we flyladies are like the smurfs, one for every situation. So nearly all of us are smurfs now. I am missing Mr Sambora though so i may have to switch back soon.

    I love you all for joining my game - shall we go back to our old/other avatars at the start of next week's thread?

  • Lounge is tidy, kitchen needs a quick s&s and the washing up needs doing. Got a load of washing to put on and then i'm done. Jase can do our room and the landing.
    The kids are doing their workbooks with an amazing ammount of enthusism I hope will be shown in school next week! Got solicitor coming round at 12 which i am not looking forward to as i've gotta go through all the carp again and i'm emotionally drained. x

  • Hi sorry I've not caught up completely - note to self start at p.16

    Aww, big hugs Zoe, take good care of yourself. Glad your DH sounds so supportive and kind xx

    Frodders nice to see you back, hope you had a good time, well done on the weight loss

    FFPhope your auntie is ok

    Ishtar, grrr to your sister, she sounds annoying

    I’ve got quite a few little jobs to do today, even tho I’m supposed to be resting – I had a major headache last night from being over tired and had a bit of a blub, I’ve been overdoing it. But some things really need doing, so am off to the psychiatrist in a minute, then when I get back I will be working from my own list and doing as much of it as I can while sitting down watching TV!

    I’m also a bit annoyed – I put on some weight at the weekend which is not surprising in the least as I ate for England, but yesterday I had a really good day foodwise but put on more weight! I’m back on track re eating, so it should start coming off again. I also had a really high step count compared to what I’ve been managing (4000 steps 3 days running) and am managing to keep it up to 2500 – I know it’s not a lot really but it’s more than I’ve been managing. I am trying really hard to increase my steps each week. I’ve just been struggling quite a lot to do anything.

    My list for the day:
    Washing up
    French lesson on way to CMHT
    V14 form and cover letter to explain that car is at insurance company and we really do deserve a refund for our tax disc!
    Sort out something for dinner (am defrosting something, just need to work out what to have with it)
    Peel pots and cook them, mash them and freeze them (they are about to go off)
    Peel carrots, cook them, have some for dinner and freeze the rest (they are about to go off too)
    HEEL BALM feet twice today – they are so bad that the skin actually ripped my socks yesterday
    Write cards to people

    Weather not great here today ah well what do I expect living in Scotland!

    Soappie Big hugs for your DD.
    Greenbee I have a recipe for garlic and liver dog cake if you want it let me know.
    Pigpen Glad you have met someone and really pleased he cleans. Now tell us where you found him so we can all get one:D
    Toots Hope your OK. Missing your posts
    Lady-L Hope the meds are still helping. Hugs honey x

    Slight problem with my list today as I can't wash the bedding as the WM is broke but I will change it and put the dirty one in a binbag to go with the rest of the stuff to the laundrette. Good job it's just at the top of my street as the bags are getting bigger! (Jinkys brain doing overtime now!)

    Ok, so how do I know what each smurf is :confused:;)

    It's chucking it down here so no chance of drying any washing :rolleyes: I may just have enough clothes for the next couple of days!

    Need to go shopping quickly and then get myself organised for tomorrow :eek:
