    there isn't another course I'd want to do.. and definitely not one that wouldn't entail loads of debt when I left.. this is fully funded etc and I do like the subjects I just cannot cope with the lack of organisation and feeling like I am so insignificant it doesn't matter that I am missed off lists, or have my paperwork lost. I have so many battles I am fighting already I haven't energy for this one.. I could put it off another year but I don't think I'd have it paid for then either so it is now or never, this or nothing.. :(

    Piggers - I dont care f you dont want one, you're getting one 4.gif

    Do you think the fact that you are not well and have lost some of your income is what you are hating or do you really hate the subject, you seemed so keen before. Have you upped your iron intake during the course of the problems you've been having as that can make you very tired, still you dont need me to tell you :o

    Well downstairs is done,- everywhere you cant pull any cupboard or piece of furniture out and find anything (ok appliances is a different story but you cant have everything)

    Tomorrows plan

    DH being collected at 830
    Need to snout round homebase - need 8 placemats only have 4 and cant get any to match and have looked everywhere in town and cant find anything I like
    Need to go to Argos to get visitors lad's birthday present
    S/S bathroom
    Hoover top hallway and landing
    Hoover kids rooms
    Try and make DD's room look habitable (even tho there is a bright orange skip bag in the middle of it)
    Declutter, tidy, clean and hoover spare room
    Prep tea for 8 :eek: (I'm not used to that amount)
    Sort visitors beds
    Find out what time they arrive

    Ok I think thats me done for now (wonder how many stars I must have earnt today)

    ETA cross posted with your reply to wilf
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Morning ladies!

    Jinky - hugs.gif
    Knitty - nice seeing you over here too!
    rosepink - we have a good technique when 'posh' guests visit.. we put everything that doesn't belong in the lounge into a crate and dump it in the office.. giggle.gif. The kitchen is always tidy and clean as is the bathroom thanks mostly to my OH and home help. I tend to pretty much 'live' in the lounge so makeup and craft stuff and books etc all end up in here. We then sort through the junk when the crate comes back in.

    So my lists today are:
    Feed the cat at least twice HS3298.gif
    Brush the cat
    Sort and delete 20 emails (they seen to breed if left alone!)
    reply to emails

    Clean bathroom sink
    Spray bleach on the bottoms of the shower curtains
    Email R
    Fill WM and put on
    Ring Dawn

    Extras

    Hospital appt
    take stuff into office for sorting later
    finish clearing table
    iron best table linen
    warm gentle HShuggies.gifto all who need or want them.

    Morning All - I think!

    DD and the twins were awake at 4.30 and didn't go back to sleep!

    The LR is still upside down so that needs sorting out first. All I really want to do though is go to sleep.

    Kazm - fingers crossed everything goes okay today.

    Hugs to all
