Forgot to report all I did was hoover the kitchen floor, wash it with machine and dry off with mop. And dust half the dining room.

When you have a chance to breathe, maybe you should put together all the things you have crossed off recently and see exactly how much you have achieved! (and then come round and do my decorating!)

Very C********y round here as all the hotels are doing their festive breaks - seeing loads of holidaymakers in festive headgear! And hearing loads of festive songs.

Also did an extra HHE as the weather was so good. Loads of shredding done.

Hugs to everyone

As you can see I am not doing very well with my flying at the moment. The promotion I got at work has meant me needing to spend far more time there learning the ropes. However OH isn't back till after 7 so I will see what I can get done.

Can I ask for some positive vibes please? As some of you may recall, OHs dad was diagnosed with vascular dementia in September. He has been in a hospital recently, it was meant to be for rehab to make his legs stronger, however he has not had a good few days as he fell on his back after going in the shower on Sunday night. We are not sure if the latest problems are linked to that or not but the nurses are concerned with his inability to use his motor skills, he keeps knocking cups of tea over and finding it hard to eat without getting food everywhere (this was already happening so it must be a lot worse now). We had a chat with the nurses last night and have realised that his body seems to be giving up slowly. They have done loads of x-rays and blood tests and we are waiting for the results to tell us of any significant changes. However today things have got even worse as his speech started getting slurred so he was rushed to a different hospital for a brain scan. This happened a few years ago so at least this time he is in good hands. We are not expecting him to go home now, hopefully he will be well enough to go into a home and not have to stay in hospital. So...please can I have lots of vibes for OH, his dad, his family. Apologies for the off topic chat but I needed to get it out of my system.

Afternoon lovelies

Been at work all day, not had chace to catch up on thread.

Weather here is miserable and has been all day. Im sooooo tired today, I hate going to work in the dark and returning home in the dark

Forgot to get bolognese sauce out the freezer this morning so its defrosting in the microwave as we speak.

My bedroom just needs a quick dust then it will be done, remade my bed this morning before work and since im single it doesnt get messed up like it used to, no mounds of clothes on the floor etc etc etc, i love my room!

The WM is on so later when its been in the TD i will iron it, but not much to iron (thank goodness as I loathe ironing)

Microwave has pinged so off to do the spaghetti.

HUGZ to all

In the HHC, I:
walked up and down til I had done 1000 steps,
put away dry washing and dry washing up
hoovered the bathroom, the kitchen, the bit of the bedroom we walk on to get fr the LR end to the bathroom, and as much as the LR as poss.

It's amazing how happy one can feel at being able to hoover an extremely dirty floor! It's now nice and clean! Hurrah!

Didn't do my side of the bed because I need to tidy it first and sort out the shredding - the shredder felll over and made a mess.

rosepink WOW 1000 steps and all those jobs in your HHC - you must have been jogging -thats something like 40-50 steps a minute- i am impressed to say the least:T
zoe thats terrible news about the tree (((hugs))) and I hear you too baaaaaaaaad girl!!!!:rotfl: well done though!!
ajmoney huge (((hugs))) for you all - it must be so hard to see and deal with - loads of positive vibes for your OH's father that he gets into a nice home and gets the right attention without too much more deterioration - coping vibes for the rest of you.

off to get tea organised then a rest until the carer appears
see you all later
