    The Marvellously Motivated Mrs B xxxxxxx

    Is that why I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever :confused::p ? I can't be bothered with anything and the house is a tip and I could quite easily just sit and sob :o

    BTW - do you watch Extreme Makeover by any chance?

    jinky - good news :D

    L-L - moe hugs and prayers; good to see you are searching for options and still have your wonderful positive attitude xx

    poohbear - :eek: and :rotfl:

    me - hugs; you've been really busy!

    holly - hugs; hope you feel better soon

    Triker - hugs; so glad your manager is supportive

    fedup - glad you're feeling more positive

    helen - take care and please do pop in

    all I can say Piggers is that when teachers think of the big O we all think of Ofsted and not the big O that you may well be thinking of you rude minx:rotfl:

    And I'm clearly either very tired, very stupid, or very naive or, most likely, all of the above cos I don't know what pigpen means :o:confused:

    Rosieben have you got somewhere to move to? Glad you are so well prepared with all the decluttering, keep it up!

    Hugs Zara, hope all goes well at your appointment

    Hi Methekidsetc, glad you are back and that things are a little less stressful now (I hope). Are you on holiday for long? Hope you will be able to have some time to rest and recover and revitalise yourself xx

    Hugs Holly hope you are better soon

    Hugs Triker, make sure you do look after yourself and rest – pushing yourself too hard will make it worse and make it last longer – you need to pace yourself, do stuff but not too much

    Natty, how funny you are off to Devon next week – that’s where we are going the week after you! You are right about the pink bra, but I don’t want to buy any new undies until I lose more weight, as I will changing shape and it could get expensive! I refuse to buy underwear off ebay

    Elly, how did DD2’s meeting go?

    Hugs Llel


    Apologies - I've not caught up properly with the thread. I've been a busy bee :D After all the decluttering this morning I felt a bit tired so had a nap and didn't wake up til half past five! :eek: I was a bit shocked! I don't normally sleep that long!

    Anyway, have had a nice evening - went to PIL's and got lots of food to bring home (MIL is very kind and gives us food, normally we try to decline but this week we gratefully accepted), enjoyed seeing them. I've done lots of walking today and have been outside three times which is great.

    Level 2
    Remove clutter (nearly done, just need to do top of TV and then a final declutter in time for Sunday)

    I must keep a list, at this rate we could have a full calender! With some stragetically placed dusters, Stardrops and a hoover, we could do it a la WI :rotfl::rotfl:
    Mrs B xxxxxx

    Dyson, please, rather than hoover! And don't forget the slow cooker and the Ramoska must be incorporated within the pix along with the home made cakes and the bread maker! As well as the sausage dog shaped draught excluders and the stock piles of bogofs....

    Pizza toppings are optional...

    wish I was having the O she has been having instead of the one we are all going to get at work:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I have found the kitchen again and have done a load of washing and out one in the dryer. Apart from that I have done nothing but go on tinternet and do planning stuff for work. Oh and I have done A's packed lunch for morning. Plumber is coming to do boiler and fire service tomorrow and I have to get new tyre as have got spare on due to screw stuck in other one!:mad:

    Oh and a HUGE thanks for the person who knew about the last unread post thing. I never knew this existed and have always tried to remember the page number or where I'd got to!
