  • Hellsbells, Toochoosey and Sunnygirl & DD - hugs for you all and hope you all feel better soon

    Still not able to fly properly, DS decided to fall off his bike yesterday so ended up at A&E - he is ok apart from looking a real mess, grazes and cuts all down 1 side of his face and he narrowly missed serious damage to his eye [phew] DH who had collected him from school was a nervous wreck though.

    Thanks...DD1 picked up a bit after the medicine kicked in and went to bed with another dose to keep her going through the night. I'm feeling off still but can't quite say how. Kind of feel sick a bit but can't stop eating :confused:. And no, before you all go jumping to conclusions I'm not pregnant...unless my coil has failed!:eek: Before she went to bed DD2 ended up going a bit grumpy and was feeling a bit hot so I'm preparing for her to be poorly tomorrow. Hopefully not but we'll wait and see.

    Helen...your poor DS. Hope he heals quickly.

    Soappie...sending lots of completing vibes for you DS & DIL.

    Carol...makes a change seeing another flylady talk about places I know. (saw the conversation with poohbear about Manchester. I'm guessing you live somewhere near the curry mile?

    msgnomoney...well done on your decluttering.:p:j

    Pigpen...nearly the Christmas hols...10 weeks to go (not including this week) til they finish.:eek:

    I was planning on having a very early night but FIL phoned wanting to know how to uninstall a program and change a homepage on IE for their friend. Ended up turning the laptop on and talking him through it step by step while he made notes. Brought the laptop up to bed with me though as I was already tucked in for the night.

    Flyingwise...I moved a few cups into the kitchen and picked up my pj's from the bathroom floor right before I put them on!:rotfl:

    Hugs for all you lovely flyladies.

    Night night. x

    Looks like I'll carry on flying for a while yet. DS2 has been sick on and off since just after 9pm, so he won't be going to school in the morning. Poor thing - he's asleep on the sofa now, but very restless. No bed for me tonight, then. Feeling queasy myself, but that could be just from watching him. I'll have to wait and see. :o

    I'd hoped for a day off work this week, but not quite like this. I'll update my list when I've done for the night and include tomorrow's jobs.

    It's nice to see so many new flyladies. I've spread the word to two friends, so maybe we'll see them on here sometime.

    Good night, sweet dreams and hugs to anyone in need.

    How's it going Greenbee - and how's the jet lag?!
    Jet lag is fine... I'm waking up at about 4am, reading for an hour, going to the gym 5am-7am, meeting my boss @ 7.45, getting into the office @ 8am, working till 5pm... yesterday I then went for a swim, we went out for a meal, I caught up with you lot, FB and some email and then went to bed. Today we went for a meal straight from the office so a couple of others could come with us, I'm catching up with you lot, doing some work that needs to be ready for UK logon time, and then I hope to have time for a swim before bed!

    So hopefully when I get back on Friday I'll be pretty much OK with the time!

    Congrats to Ali!

    Hugs & positive vibes being sent to those in need

    Hi ladies, im up early this morning.....

    Asbodog has decided to start whining from about 5 every morning in an effort to get to come and sleep in my room. He is in for a big shock cos I am far more stubborn than he is 000203FC.gif

    Anyway last night i did my kitchen which is not on my main list but needed doing nonetheless... I also did some ironing which i had to do. Ive started clearing out underneath my bed which is one of the biggest jobs. Not because there is loads of carp, but because the stuff doesnt really have anywhere else to go

    So i dont know what im going to do with it all, but watch this space00020437.gif

    In case you are wondering, im having my carpets cleaned on the 3rd November and they come and move your furniture etc, so i need to hide some of the stuff elsewhere.

    Anyway, my car is still in the garage but should be fixed today, and hopefully my bank account will be unfrozen so i can actually pay them... :rolleyes:


    Going to get up now and make tea and kick the dog :rolleyes:

    (I am joking....just in case anyones wondering)
