would like to have had time for Church, feel very guilty, but its Church or clean clothes for family. Reading that back it sounds very wet.

Just like me with the farmers' market. The problem is, if you feel guilty for not going you need to question why you do go... I'm sure God doesn't need you to go to church - you can talk to him wherever you are, so maybe you could have a little chat to him about some help with the laundry Although I do understand that church, like the farmers' market is about the community as much as anything else.

ladyl when it rains, I love to lie in bed and listen to the rain with the window open and the duvet pulled up to my chin.

Me too! Another excuse not to get up... and Lady L has her cats to keep her company too (I've seen the piccies on FB!)

Lady L you take care and get lots of rest.

Toots you also take care and get loads of rest, don't worry about the stars, I know it gives you some thing to do, blah blah, BUT your rest is far more important, you do worry me that you are not resting and doing far to much stressing over the stars which cannot be good for you, we love you and want you to get strong again xxxxx

Well said!

Second load of laundry in, second coat of polish on toenails.... you can see I'm making progress

Oh dear, was going to say Morning, but just noticed that it is now afternoon!

As it was cold last night, OH and I decided to go to bed early and watch tv in bed, so I had a really nice evening with OH stroking my head whilst he watched rubbish on tv. (In my next life I definitely want to come back as a cat.) We stayed awake quite late though, so I had a very long lie-in this morning (until 9.30) and then stayed in bed watching tv. Got up when Something for the Weekend finished at 11.30 and have just had breakfast.

To do list for today (in no particular order):

• Wash hair
• Change sheets
• Clean kitchen floor (may delegate this to OH as he's not going shooting until this evening now due to the weather)
• Record rising stars assessments
• Make maths resources
• Get stuff packed and ready for school, including lunch box
• Paint nails
• Chill out online

LadyL - glad that you actually got to see DS for a bit in between his party. Did the cats turn up for him?

Lovely to see you back tootles - hope you manage to get some rest at home.

greenbee - i think your points about the meetings make a lot of sense (bear in mind this comes from another perceived trouble maker!). I get so frustrated with meetings that are badly chaired, go round the houses again and again and never get to a decision. My ex-colleagues tell me that the same old things are being discussed in pone conferences as when I left in June!!!

re DH's job, hard to know - i hope that one day he'll find something that he really likes and that fulfills him! I think getting out of London will help eventually i think. He does only work 9-5, in fact he only works 0.9 time but studying every evening doesn't help!!

right, casualty has finished, I still have about an hour before DH's practice exam will be done (though he might finish early) so I am going to get dressed and get on with the flying....off to find a list first!

soappie

I think I'm going to be brave. The rain has stopped and the cloud base has lifted. I shall chance it and put some washing on the line

And as to Pigpen. Bah Humbug! I might just put her on ignore until the beginning of December

Afternoon

Anyone on a guilt trip ditch it right here, life is far too short to feel guilty unless you have done something really mean and you haven't so stop!

I've cleaned the bathroom
helped DS2 sort his clothes into his new chest of drawers
done 3 lunches

Going to do DH lunch now - don't want him to stop putting up the shelves on a hunt for food and make a cuppa.

This afternoon I want to empty out the stuff in DS3 room and it it a good clean whilst the GP is on, he won't be happy when he has to sort and try on stuff afterwards but that room needs doing.

froddington

I'm so tired :mad: And I have loads of planning I'm supposed to do :mad:

MrsChaos - hugs; I'm not getting very far either!

gilligansyle - welcome

Toots - good to have you back :j :T :j

soappie - I'd love to go to The Emirates (in the away end, obviously ). I did go to Highbury once - in the last season there. It was very cold! One of my 101 in 1001 list is to go to some football grounds I haven't been to before

dreamy - glad it went well

pigpen - you're not funny you know

Mumto5 - welcome back

It's pouring with rain here but it's still quite warm. Not planning on going out in it though! Going to watch the Grand Prix and then hope I get some energy to do the planning as it'll be needed tomorrow :rolleyes:
