Oooh Rose I meant to ask you how come you have so much washing up during the day, there is only me in the day and I don't have half as much as you seem to, even when Dave is home we don't have that much. Do you breed it or something..:rotfl:It's been bugging me for a few days.
Oh and Jo, did we agree anything on the hostess i.e. when to deliver, who to deliver to, where to deliver etc. I was thinking that I could get to Newport, I think that was mentioned, as it is only a 2 hour drive from me and pick up Rose on route as well, if she wanted. But it would have to be after I get paid in a couple of weeks as I haven't got any petrol money etc..:(
What do you mean? I wash up once a day, and sometimes don't manage to wash up every day, although I do my best. So it sometimes builds up a bit. I'm a lot better than I was tho, when I was really ill I only washed up once a week sometimes! :eek: This thread has helped me to get in to a better routine with things like that, it's just when I'm feeling ill that I can't do much. Count me in for meeting up with Jo - I will help with petrol money if we have any money at the time - things are a bit dicey here with money, we've just been hit by £50 of bank charges because a stupid cheque took 6 days to clear :mad:
Triker hope you feel better after having some rest
Hugs AJ, dementia is so cruel
Lady Liberty hope you’ve enjoyed your rest day, thanks for letting us know about Diva, hope she has a nice rest too
Pigpen, brilliant news about your sister, that’s great!
Hugs Natty, hope you are better soon
Carol, I am sooo jealous of you going to see Michael Macintyre, he’s so funny! Even if you don’t feel like it, it might do you good to have a laugh – I’m not saying that in a callous way in the least, hope it doesn’t sound horrible. Hugs babe xx
Julie, are you aiming to do the first and last HHC of the day!
Jjeff, glad no one was hurt in that fire
ooh, are there going to be some little Rach’s? Do you think you will try? I
know it’s supposed to be harder with PCOS, but still possible!
I feel bad cos not really done much today, but I've had two nights of bad sleep plus it's so cold! So I was very tired and then DH came home and I kind of didn't do anything else after that! Have just gone and cleaned the cupboard fronts and big appliances in the kitchen tho, guilt drove me to it!
Pleased I got one star last week, going to try to match that this week! Also joining Toots on her ebay challenge – list one item a day

Do you think you can rise to the challenge? let me know and i will add you to the list
Can I be added please, I send 30 items away to my wee ironing man weekly (mostly the things that are hardest to iron) but the rest is done between me and DH and as DS is potty training there is a lot of washing and ironing! I used to get 30 items done FREE when I was BF DS through BF group and told him just to keep coming every week, really cheap at £10 and worth the extra time I have for other things although a lot of you may not agree:TGratitude is the best Attitude :T

Been out most of today. Went to pick DDs phone up which had been repaired. Then went to see about having some reflexology. Ive also been to my voluntary job again. Level 1 of living room done and will finish that tomorrow.

Triker, that's disgusting!
Going to have a bath at 10 while DH watches Jools Holland and I'm going to clean one item in the bathroom afterwards - probably the sink. If I do one thing for the next three days then I will have cleaned the whole bathroom!"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."

Oooh Boddy - did you find a reflexologist? The diploma I've just finished is my clinical reflexology diploma. I did my first one over ten years ago and thought I'd re-do it as things change. It has been very interesting as it's much more centred around cancer now.
Miss H - I think we both deserve a drink! I've managed to do the first draft of the second assignment for my other diploma so that's good. I already had all the notes - just needed to write it up really. I'll do another couple of hours tomorrow afternoon. I'm also hoping to work for a couple of hours tomorrow if both children go to school!
Juliejim - i'd love some banana cake please! Yum yum - just what the doctor ordered.
I'm off to s/s the kitchen so it stays nice all week.
Hugs to all xx

My sister had her colposcopy done 3 weeks ago and... it came back clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first one in 4 years.. we are so chuffed delighted over-the-moon and pleased..
That is top news Piggers! :jkatylittlelady wrote: »Yah!
Haven't done the front room as well today because that'll take a bit more doing so will save that for day off!
Katy - have you thought that if at least you do some bits in the front room in the evenings that means you have more time to do more interesting things on your day off?
Mudders - go you - you're doing extraordinarily well! :T
Rach, maybe you need to do some rethinking job wise - or else move closer to town!. I know too well how all that travelling takes it out of you... And aww on the broody moment. I still get them and I ain't capable anymore!
Triker - that's gross! But at least be grateful it remained intact and wedged itself somewhere rather than being dissolved and coated everything so you didn't notice... :shocked:
Well, friend from up the road popped in and we spent hours on her family tree so I didn't achieve much flying wise.
I will do better tomorrow, I promise!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Off to bed now. See you all tomorrow.

Katy - have you thought that if at least you do some bits in the front room in the evenings that means you have more time to do more interesting things on your day off?
Thanks for the tip Soappie and I do hope to in the future! Just recovering from sinus surgery so not doing too much at a time at the moment so easing myself in gently! Have two extra days off this week so need to organise the front room and having the whole day means I can potter and do it for the first time and then have it in a good state ready to do just in the evenings!
And Triker - sorry but had to lol at your turd incident! After all those good intentions! x xThank you to all posters:beer:0
