jinky honey a list will still work for people and feelings and maybe when you start to write it down it will help you sort out whiat needs to be done /said and how you are going to tackle it. And we most certainly DO NOT expect you to post that kind of list - I am sure you dont want the whole world and the site checking out what you are coping with - that list should be private honey (((hugs)))

froddy honey thats great that you have been signed off - its not great that you needed to be but thank goodness you now have a bit more time to feel more under control again - and you will - you know that your AD's make a difference. be sure to get some rest and not over do things - do something nice for yourself (((hugs))) BTW apparently shoe shops will be happy to give you shoe boxes (not everybody takes their shoes away in a box) HTH!!!

jtb you could alawys just print off this weeks lists and leave that for him to tick off - if its down in black and white in front of him he might just be tempted to do soemthing?
Mudbath WTG that lady:T:T:T well done for not budging and thank goodness the paediatrician is getting things started immediately - poor DS this could put him off hospitals for life!!! Hope they sort out the problem soon now. Yes aren't the industrial strength laxitives just wondeerful - been there done that got the tshirt!!!!:eek:

ajmoney (((hugs))) for you and OH - it must be draining and upsetting seeing his Dad like that - I hope they can help or at least find a safe place for him to be looked after. Congratulations on the finished kitchen - its a lovely feeling isnt it?

Aunty Crafty glad you survived the rain etc yesterday - hope you havent caught a chill. Oh I see you are getting a new carpet next week - thats brilliant - I cant wait to get one for my bedroom - but I will have to wait:o:rotfl:

eta I see you have been posting - shooooo to the BD - I need to pm you - I have an idea - will try to do it after tea!!

prettypennies thats an excellent poem :T:T:T well done your DS.

I see I caused a bit of confusion so let me clarify that I was only saying 'I will shut up' to pigpen as she had ignored my post as I knew she would:p Do not think for one minute that I will shut up where the rest of you lazy good for nothings are concerned ( well with 1 or 2 exceptions) I will still be nagging away in my usual annoying manner!!:p:rotfl:

JillD it sounds like you are getting somewhere with the school -thats great - and well done to your LO's for doing so well.

carol babes (((hugs))) I hope you get your CV sorted - that is a priority for you - tell bf to stop being childish:rotfl: and huge get well vibes for your Dad - that must be worrying for you as it has been going on a while - I know he;s well looked after with your mum being a doc but all the same its a worry - take care of yourself angel xx

pretz oh dear - what a nightmare but thank goodness you can see the funny side now and yes you will have a lovely clean kitchen - and you know what NOT to do the next time:rotfl:

Well in my HHC with Jinky (earlier) I cleaned the hall which is also the study area;) but then had to dash off to the hairdressers as both kids had appointments. It was quiet when I got there so instead of booking a trim for me I had mine done too!
Then I popped to posh Lidl (aircon and wide aisles;) for pepsi (£1 for 6) and other bargains...
then made tea.

Now to iron then 'take stock' and look at my listy...
