MrsChaos you did loads and yes it is a nice feeling to get things under control - unfortunately we have to get up of the sofa and do it - the elves and fairies dont do it for us!!!! You are doing well and your idea of keeping things that you have done tidy and then adding on something else is really good - remember all the rooms come round again next week - every week - so what you miss you can catch next time because next time it will be a little more sparkly!!!! Well done with the diet too:T

Lil_me hope the assignments go well and the cold goes quickly - look after yourself xx

greenbee those cakes are fabulous, amazing, fantastic, marvellous, brilliant.........can you tell I like them - what a clever lady you are - stuff the new job - go into cake making!!!:rotfl:

rosepink S&S the bathroom etc is just a quick wipe over to freshen it up and to save it becoming a huge task and stop all the germs breeding too much- cleaning it involves deep cleaning with plenty of elbow grease - really scrubbing all the nooks and crannies until it sparkles.

kazm How could they - that is so unfair!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: No wonder you had a rant i want to as well - huge hugs for you and DH - I certainly hope they dont keep him hanging on as long as the disciplinary - as Anw's Mum said get onto the Union. strength and coping vibes being sent to you all (((hugs))) What a lovely DS you have - as for DD as jackiewhizz mentioned try getting Dh to talk to her - or ban her from the LR totally until she learns??

Ishtar hope you dont succumb and everybody gets back to better health real soon


oh elly (((hugs)))) love - what a terrible position to be in - its all very well them taking her to school but they cant watch her all the time to see if she stays! Does she realise how serious this could be - she could end up in a secure unit! You are so brave. (((hugs))) for puddy cat too:rolleyes:

jinky thats a bummer - hope they dont expect it all at once

zara (((hugs)))) angel - I do hope she is right - at least the mammogram will sort it all out.

hellsbells your body must have been needing the rest

soappie what a lovely neighbour you are ((hugs))

fedup hope you fell better soon

pigpen medicinal triple vodkas to ward off the bugs and cheer you up - and a squishy hug thrown in for good measure xx

Aunty I hope you are not avoiding studying by doing housework and getting stars???????? :rotfl::rotfl: whehn is the exam?????

mudbath well i suppose its better than appendix? it must still have been very scary for you and both scary and sore for DS - hope the get it sorted very quickly (((hugs)))

soappie that sort of thing gives you the heebie jeebies doesnt it?????:eek:

Dinx well done on realising that there is only so much you can do -you have decided on the best method - build the levels into your day and add on as and when you are fully in control WTG you will get there:T:T

boddy how exciting for you - hope all goes well with the birth. xx

jinky hhmmm.... what happened to taking out your anger on the housework then???? rememebr I am on your case this week honey:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

holly thats brilliant - well done - I bet it was all that flying last week:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh phew, I thought I had to clean it properly every day. Thanks Toots. I think cos my Mum has been ill all my life, we just did the basics at home as it was me and my sister doing the cleaning under Mum's direction and so we didn't do a lot of things we perhaps should have as just trying to keep on top of things was quite difficult. That's why I don't know about s&sing and stuff like that. It was good training tho - we learned to be responsible and caring and how to cook and clean and be tidy - I think when I moved here I was fed up with all of that and didnt want to do it anymore, which is why my home descended into a slovenly hovel. I'm getting on top of it now which is great - thanks to all you lovely ladies!

It was our last day at this MacMillan House as we move to a new building this week so there was loads of people there today including previous volunteers and staff. ther was a 'harvest' thanksgiving service which also covered the work done by the staff there.
We all got a stone from the grounds and had a few moments reflection to 'pass' our thoughts of that place and our journeys in life into the stone and then the chaplain collected them and is going to make a small 'cairn' at the new building so that we feel we have taken 'something' with us.

I managed to do a bit of sorting of smellies in the bedroom today so a bit more done.

My lovely friend C (who checks up on me when i am in hospital and she does my washing and shopping bless her) has phoned this evening to say that she and her sister are coming tomorrow morning to tidy my front garden and cut the grass - I am so lucky I love her to bits.

I am off to do a final round up of today;s stars then sign off.

love and hugs to you all as there are plenty of you needing it - I hope tomorrow is a better day for everyone.

special love and prayers for Lady L

omgosh....i looooooooove:lovethougsugar puffs, but only when the milk is cold, cant stand em when they go soggy! They are classed as a weekend treat in this house because i dont like the kids having to much sweet stuff, so they have weetabix without sugar...acording to Jase im the cruelest mum in the world lol

Fell sleep on sofa with millyboo after putting kids to bed at 6.30lol....been up since 6am. Took jaimee to school, went to one of my homestart classes which i was very gratful for today as lewis has been a winging little git all day(piggers i sympathise...i could cheerfully strangle loui today!) so while he played in the creche i chilled on the squishy sofas, drank tea and made a scrapbook page for one of my friends. Got home around 1 and fed lou and milly, chilled and did a little bit of cleaning. School run blah blah kids bed! I cant read properly at all, i think i've got conjunctivitusbut my eyes are all cloudy/blury and lots of goo comin out......right one is incredibly painfull too:mad: Got zero energy but really need to get up and iron the kids clothes and make pack lunches. Glass of homemade cherry wine anyone?:beer:
Done a little bit of my court paper thingys, really dont want to go on friday and dredge up history but got no choice. Had ex'bankers' statment this morning from my solicitors....:rotfl:hilarious! He is such an a*hole. Right, just gonna finish this wine, make the lunches....and go to bedfordshire i think! Hugs to everyone xxxx
