    Yay....would seem that cheesy puffs are the order of the day - except you Bun....you have enough problems already!! :)

    Sammy - good to hear you're feeling happier x

    On another good note, my boiler has been repaired (albeit temporarily). The fan was stuck. He's 'lubed it up' (revolting turn of phrase, and I sincerely hope he means the fan!!) so it should last until he can source a new one.

    That's the beauty of renting....it's not my bank balance that will be affected!

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Luckily he phoned me at work so he couldn't see me wretching at my desk :rotfl:
    He was going to 'lube it' again before he left as well. Must have been stiff...;)

    Well I think you should all post more, so there. I very much enjoy reading everyones posts, it's my only connection with the outside world some days....so post out of pity for me :p

    Was supposed to be going wheelchair shopping but DH had a bad day yesterday, an even worse night last night and just wasn't up to it today, so we've sat and watched all the stuff we'd sky+ last night...(I love sky+ and we've only had it a day). I've been making felt pac man ghosts all afternoon....as you do.....so forgot to make the burgers for tea....sausages instead then.

    Luc.....you post a huge list like that. How can you feel pathetic. I get home from work and veg in front of my lappy and TV, usually with a TV dinner!! And you have a small baby to look after (plus you're on much higher level in Farmville) so I have nothing but admiration for you!!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    (btw are we neighbours yet?)

    To be fair a lot of the work was done on the weekend by me and Hubbles which means I am still full of determination so the Flylady stuff is quite east at the minute. Lets see if I can keep it up ...

    And some of the neative feeling is down to PND although I am MUCH better than I was 6 months ago
