Hi All
Sorry, but I haven't had a chance to catch up - I seem to be completely up against it again....I hope everyone is going OK, and wanted to send some hugs to anyone who needs one.

Still trying to find a boiler engineer.....really annoying that the other one pulled out and wasn't going to contact us to explain he wouldn't be rescheduling. Very interesting that he was quick to get his diary out to schedule a meeting when OH mentioned we would probably be upgrading our boiler shortly :rolleyes:. Hmmm, let me think, shall I give him our business.....

Anyway, here's what I've achieved so far:

Plus my dailies and any extras like supermarket shop, etc, etc....

I'm at home all day tomorrow so I'm hoping that I'll catch up on the things I've missed!

Not posted much but been a good girl today, been to Toddlers, made a veggie lasagne, did laundry (washed and all dry and put away now!), mopped floors, cleaned kitchen and swished round loos too.
Hope you are all ok, no time to read whole thread.

Evening all

Well and truly belly flopped off the flylady wagon this week, so much other stuff going on.

Hugs to all of you who are still feeling down or unwell.

LL and Toots special hugs for you.

Mudders - I gave up my little lottie and didn't look back. I can produce quite a bit in the front garden and it is so much easier

Frodders hope you are feeling a bit more positive this evening

Time to tidy up from dinner
Organise DS1 (who has been off sick today) to get his cooking stuff ready for tomorrow
Organise DS1 to get his rucksack packed for this expedition tomorrow

I'm off on DS3 school trip tomorrow, then DS1 to exp and DS2 to football.

Roll on Saturday morning when DH will be home and I don't have to get up early for anything.

Phew I'm absolutely shattered, and I am now finishing up for the evening. Dinner is cooking, DH will be happy he hasn't had a home made meat pie for ages :rotfl:Well there is method in my madness as t'other half of the meat pie will be popped in the fridge and then taken with us on Saturday for that evenings dinner. So that way we don't have to worry about what we are having etc..

Watching that totally daft Live from Studio Five on Channel 5, I am reserving judgement on if I like it or not. I can't stand Kate Walsh from "The Apprentice" hope she doesn't last that long as one of the presenters..:rotfl:

Oooh bit of good news, 'toxic friend' is out shopping so she isn't ringing me tonight :j Just got a text instead..oh the joys of texts..lol She is going to try and catch me when I am in tomorrow, wonder if I can be out all day..lol

Feeling rather blah now, wondered why I had niggling back ache now I know. It's that time of the month, although it kind of crept up on me. I think the reflexology might be working Good thing is it will be out the way by Saturday/Sunday

Evening all,

Like dusty I've bombed this week! It has been a crazy week but I'm off tomorrow so it's now my weekend! We had our event at work today, really busy day but it went well. Managed to double last year's attendance which is great. I'm still not 100% well, Dr gave me some new, stronger antibiotics last night so hopefully it will finally shift (I'm rather sick of this after 6 weeks!) if not I have to go for an x-ray.

Flying-wise, I'm off tomorrow and DH is working on Sat so I should manage to fly right through the house. The wm is currently not draining or spinning - it's got quite a bit of water in. I need to try the filter first, fingers crossed it is that - think I'll leave it til tomorrow when DH is out!!

Hope are well esp toots and LL. xx

Evening all :wave:

What lovely pics wilf and ffp! Beautiful children.

Ironing done, LR dysoned and I'm ready to flop into bed! I was going to make biscotti but I'm too tired. I made some earlier in the week and they turned out really well.

I'm on strike. I'm sick of DD doing nothing. I feel like an unloved, unappreciated house elf

Need to get my stuff sorted for work tomorrow

Night night xx
