    Off i go again.........
  • rosepink well done on your vol work- and good to see you have got some of your extras done - re the comment I made about the 'S&S'ing -what I was trying to say in my cackhanded way was that you had missed off the bathroom - I would expect you are doing it everyday but its not on your list? -yes you are right some of your 'dailies' are not what i would consider dailies and yes you can have whatever you want on your list - I am very sorry I have offended you and I wont interfere or pass comment on your lists again unless you ask me a question regarding the stars/ lists
    No worries, I was in a very grumpy mood yesterday. Sorry I was so moody. I will add the bathroom to the list, you are right, it should be on there.

    Hugs Cally, hope the doc can sort your headaches out

    Well done Daydreambeliever on the weight loss and on settling in to a new job so well

    Hugs FFP and DS, hope he’s ok and not too badly hurt

    I'm really overtired today, not feeling too good. And I woke up to the news that we didn't have enough in the account to cover the rent. Will have to get that sorted asap.

    I'm just going to plod today, probably won't get much done to be honest.

  • i'm in for the hhc - before i head to work.

    Second day with sad light on desk - yesterday was a bit of a revelation energy wise - I didn't collapse in a crumpled heap at teatime for a change!!!!!!!!

    Have sorted out where it should be on the desk - and am feeling more positive about things.....

    Morning!

    Nice to see you posting again Michelle - sorry I didn't see your earlier posts because i'd not been keeping up with the thread! Hope you're enjoying being at home....it must have been lovely when everyone went back to school and you didn't!!!

    My dad has a cold so his operation has been put off until next weekend. I'm glad they've decided to delay it.

    Stripes had her first 'off the lead' run today. She was supposed to take it easy but obviously hadn't read the instructions. One spotty dog who's not been off lead for over 6 weeks = mad dog! I had to put her back on the lead after a couple of minutes because she was hyper! Little and often for the next few weeks I think.

    I'm off to take my mum shopping, then studying, then working. I'm going to try and do a s/s for 30 minutes later because the place is looking tip like. It's amazing how quickly it deteriorates. Once I've finished all my assignments i'll be back with the plan!!:rotfl:

    Hugs to all you lovely peeps xx
  • A bit late, but I'll join you Holly.......
    I need direction to perfection...

    FFP thats absolutely awful re your son getting beaten up, poor kid. Don't settle until you get some answers from the school, good luck. xx

    Don't feel as bad as yesterday so going to venture out in a mo for a coffee with Piggers. Will be lovely to get out of the house.

    I will also get some washing done and I've written myself a huge list on ReminderFox of things I need to get done so will attempt to plow through that later.

    Catch you all later. xx

    Morning campers, a bit late for me as I slept in till 9.30am. And then I couldn't get myself going so am sitting here in my pj's and thinking about getting another cup of tea to take into the shower with me. First though I have to post my list. Toots I'm sorry honey but it's a major long list, but at least I can keep track of it before Saturday. I have duplicated what's on my list as to what's on Piggers list but that is really only for me as I couldn't remember what I was supposed to do, but it doesn't mean I am going to do it twice :rotfl:

    Oooh with regards to the calender can I be Miss February please, if it hasn't been taken by anyone.? I was born then and I absolutely love this month as the snowdrops are peeping through and to me that means spring is nearly here :)
