rosepink I am with AnW'sMum on the chocolate - it really needs to be all or nothing - cold turkey -you were not going to be eating it anyway to stop your headaches and feeling bleurgh - maybe if you gave it up as a trial for a month you would see if you are feeling better and achieved something during the day instead of sleeping. I hope you have cleaned the milk of the sofa - milk is the worst thing you can leave - it can smell for weeks if not cleaned properly.

I've cleaned the milk off, and I will do my best re the chocolate although I can't promise anything. I hope your day was better today and your carers turned up at reasonable times

Lots of things to relocate/rehome :rolleyes:. Lots of it should live in the first aid kit (not so happy about that, it lives above the boiler behind lots of junk, so will be a hassle to unearth).

I can get to it, and more to the point, I actually know where it is but I don't want it cluttering the place up (besides which, it rarely has what I need it in... savlon, plasters and dressings... I'm adding some mepore, mefix, hydrocortisone cream, crepe bandage, tubigrip and zinc oxice tape).

Your first aid kit needs to be accessible and have sensible things in - if it's buried behind loads of junk and doesn't have the things in that you need you may as well not have one. If you have an accident at home and are badly hurt you are not going to want to rummage around behind the boiler while bleeding heavily or in lots of pain. Put it somewhere sensible and easily accessible and top it up after each use.

Lamewolf I rarely manage a full HHC, 25 mins is usually my max, so you are definitely allowed to do 10 min C’s! Little and often is better than not at all

Lady Liberty you have did loads yesterday! Well done! How are you today?

Nicki I hope you and LO are better soon xx

Catznine I hope you are better soon

Congrats Pigpens DD1 on exam results and new clothes!

I hope Pip the dog is better soon

Mudbath when I had the worst tummy bug I’ve ever had I cleaned the loo and bathroom door handle after every use with a disinfectant spray, and my Mum (who catches everything) didn’t catch it. I was well chuffed!

Babs wow you are great to be a foster mum

Carol I’m thinking of you today pm me if you want

Tag I’m glad DD1s disciplinary wasn’t too bad.

Snooptigger well done on getting a star!

Zoe congratulations!

Helen hugs, I hope DH is home again soon and is ok

Diva and Lady Liberty Love and hugs

Hugs Careful

Nikki_angel well done on flying despite having no sleep

Valli glad you are home safely

Poohspals well done on getting your first star!

I've read up to p.33 but thought I'd better post before it gets too long!

I've cleaned mould off the bathroom wall and decluttered a D-licious stirfry that DH has cooked me! Lots of veg, at least four kinds, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, garlic, onion, mushrooms (which i didnt eat), green beans...yum!

Oh and I've listed another 10 things on Ebay today so now I've got 20 things listed and two of them have two watchers! Maybe they will have a real fight to get them and the things will sell for £100s! Yeah right! :rotfl:

Thanks for the bank info - do ALL banks do charity accounts and do we all have to turn up en masse to open it?

And re the weather - you're welcome and please say hi to the fellow weather geek that is your DH. My interest arose from working for the Met Office at Exeter for a while. I learnt a lot about it all and got to play with some snazzy computer systems.

I'll say a Geeky-Hi to DH

If you're a customer of the said bank, they don't need to see you. If you're not, they need to do a security check - I took in a passport and bank statement. You don't need to all go together - just go in with the account details and proof of identity, when it suits, but they won;t open the account fully until they've had ientity checks from everyone I use Lloyds and HSBC. They're both fine, but as yet we've not had any real problems with the ac!!!!s that have needed sorting, so no idea how good they'd be in a crisis :cool:

Skipsmum thats awful, hope they catch the swine.
JillD well done on the credit cards.
Zoe i got my dress of ebay from china and it was amazing,it took about 6 weeks to get here.

I've managed food shop and thats it. My ears and throat are sore, nose running, head thumping and starting to get aches and pains, add in an awful cough. I should have went for the flu jab. The last time i had the flu, i lost over a stone in 2 weeks.

Hubby cleared one of his credit cards today and contacted another one to sort out a payment plan, so he's over the moon. I'll try and sort my mess out tomorrow.

Right i'm away to bed, night all.

Vanilla - hope you feel better v. soon and well done on DH for decluttering one of his credit cards xxx

Found some lamb chops in the freezer so they are being defrosted in the MW before being bunged in the oven to cook. Carrots, cabbage, and glorious mash with gravy is what is required tonight I think.

Greenbee, you're in for buckets full.

I know... the garden has already disappeared!

Thanks but we have done this! Not a case of not paying attention!!!! :rolleyes: Thoroughly lagged 2 yrs ago and topped up this year! the towels are a good idea though as an addition!, will ask dh to add those tomorrow - can't go out now too dark.

Didn't expect a telling off! Off to see if that lentil soup is as nice as it smells!

Sorry...:o:o telling off wasn't aimed at you - I'm not sure you were even on the thread when I did the last nag about boilers/heating maintenance! However, the fact that my PM box is now full suggests that they'll be learning from your experience! Yours must get very, very cold (sounds like its happened before as you know what to do... lots of people kill their boilers when this happens!)

Stove lit... I have a few things to try to see whether I can get the temperature up high enough to get the coal going and keep going all night. I'm part of the way through clearing the coffee table (although I'm throwing stuff out, more stuff seems to be migrating upstairs :rolleyes:) which may take some time!

ETA - well done koolkid... but don't think Pigpen will let you get away with it :D

Gutted! I actually have another rack of aired clothes I discovered in my mad frenzy of cleaning! OH had moved them into the downstairs loo out of the way whilst he was going out the utility room with a big box the other day.... aaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh mission for tomorrow get the ironing cupboard clear!!! (it doesn't help that OH insists I iron his pants!)

Made the bed and just heard that S.E Wales is going to get the worst of the snow tonight(in Wales), oh, the joy....just going to check their website for school info, oh and I'm sure he said that the local reserve grit had been stolen!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
