Not doing too much too soon. My back is still agony, but as dd is still not back at school, (heating broken :mad::mad:), I have a bit more time on my hand to get a bit organised. Now only if the meds actually let me stay awake, coffee brake methinks, well it does say on the list to make time for yourself.:DContent makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor.:rolleyes: Benjamin Franklin0 - [STRIKE]

Helloooooooo, I'm in today too, just had a meeting I forgot about until this morning
doh
cosmomo ((hugs))
ragz hope he finds something to keep him going, we're learning a lesson here of planning more for future quiet times, grand sum of £40 in 3 weeks is not nice. Also contact tax credits to see if you are entitled to more support. Local gardners here are clearing snow, pulling cars out with their pick up trucks at a fee (I should have clicked on that haha)
AnW'sMum, of course we need a yellow day, I look forward to it. I don't have any daffs in the garden this year.....they normally are visable poking through the grass on yellow day. I will get some.
WARNING if you have had your WM/DW a while and not cleaned it it might be a bit gross, I always use gloves, if you ignore it it can cause much bigger leaks so well worth doing.....We've had 3 floods when I haven't kept up with Flylady
Vax have just annoyed me, they saying because we had it more than 2 weeks, I didn't even open it for a month I need to pay for the missing parts but worst bit is they are out of stock and have been for months, grrrr! I want to use the stair tool.
DPs officially getting on my nerves, he's got severe doormouse syndrome and just keeps sleeping the days away, I've just tried to wake him up as he's fast asleep on the sofa and he just keeps mumbling :mad: I just want him to go to bed out of my way! I think it's partly because work is quiet, he goes into BD mode. Whatever it is he's getting annoying now.
Ok, kitchen kitchen where for art tho kitchen under ye olde clutter.....best go see if I can find it. OOoooo list first, I need a list, back to edit in a mo when I can find one...

I did most of the kitchen before leaving for work this morning - nearly came on here but thought why not just fly instead! Couple more bits done but they may be delegated to DH as I slipped on some black ice on the way to the station and have been at the urgent care centre some of the morning, thankfully just a badly sprained ankle no broken bones. I've never felt such pain though, was convinced I'd broken it!
So I am now at home in pjs on the sofa, friend took me to hospital and picked me up again, and DH came and was a star, he's now gone into work.
AnWs yes we should def have another yellow day I think if you feel it helps.Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
