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!

Make sure you ice it regularly to get the heat out. I made the mistake of not doing this. 10 minutes at a time, several times a day. I can send you a copy of the exercises I was given if you like - they are more effective if you start doing them pretty much straight away.

Ouch Rach! I know exactly how that feels! Mine still twinges when I move it in certain ways.

Me too. Annoyingly mine hurts most when I'm sleeping (I sleep with my feet in exactly the wrong position!), so wakes me up. However, since I've got back to exercising and not been driving it has finally started to get better.

Laptop isn't going to get here today... hopefully tomorrow, but no idea what time, which isn't helpful. This afternoon is back to back meetings, some of which are very dull. I think I need to drop out of this one early so I can have a break, close the curtains and put the heating on before the next one!

I think I am finally ready tomorrow. I have been sitting here for ages working on my speech, I just need to remember to speak slowly (easier said than done when I get nervous).
I will be gone until Thursday although I may try and get on to the computer at uni tomorrow to check in and say hi, especially if I have time after I have finished. 26 hours and I can relax

Positive calm success vibes for tomorrow.

Can someone explain what Yellow Day is please, I think I know but don't want to get it wrong - thank you

Hope it's ok for me to do this: AnWsmum's lovely husband very sadly died, Yellow Day is his birthday and some of us choose to wear yellow (his favourite colour), or buy daffodils etc to show our love for and solidarity with AnW's mum and A&W. It's also a day when many of us remember loved ones lost.

soappie - no, they didn't sign me off though I think we self certificate for first few days. Hoping to go in tomorrow just not sure how I'll do with the trains. I've a meeting tonight which we finally have a date for after trying since sept so am intending to go - someone is picking me up.

ETA - Yes please to the exercises greenbee

I really have tried posting on the other side today, but I appear to be invisible so if it's OK with you I'm just going to stay on here and not venture away.

Decluttered some calories walking the dog, just off to get DD and then when DH gets home from work he'll show me how to clean all the filters so I'll be able to get on top of it.

Do we know which room it is likely to be tomorrow in the list? DD is due a visit from the House Fairy (website recommended by Flylady for children) and I'd like to know when the HF needs to visit as she's going to be leaving a little letter and maybe present for DD

Don't know about you guys, but forgotten how lovely it is to have a nice relaxed shower with no kids banging on the door saying 'Mummy we need you', no husband saying 'will you be long' etc etc. Feel so nice and even sorted out my eyebrows after so, for me, very glam!!!! Oh dear, am I sad? Best not answer that one

toochoosey

mumof2, sorry you don't like it over there but Ithink it's worth sticking with it, they seem nice enough xx And about this house fairy thing is it the one you pay to sign up to, or have I confused it with something else? TIA

hello everyone

its been wet here and trying to rain but its making things very slippy!!

trying to catch up from yesterday...

pillion (((hugs))) sorry to see you have had a bad family time and had to get medication - thats not good - I hope you are feeling better now and things are getting back under control - take it slowly now.
LadyL yes there was a bit of being 'normal' in there too - I knew you would understand:D hope you are doing ok - and dont you dare keep your posts to a minimum -I wouldnt care if you posted every hour of the day - its the only way we can be a part of your life - love you:A
turkolina I am sorry honey as I am only now catching up on the thread and have seen your post - my condolences to you and your family - what a shock for you and especially on the 1st - there is never a good time but to start a each fresh new year with the annivesrsary of the death of a lovely Mum will be really hard. my heart goes out to you. I am so pleased you have come to join us and with the help of the lists and the wonderful support from everybody I am sure you will get those cupboards and hot spots sorted - we all have them!!! You are def in the very best of company here!!!:rotfl:
wilf hope you get great sales on your ebay and it relieves the money worries
kazm how are you honey - are you feeling ready to go back to work tomorrow - I am guessing that your results were ok? Try to not go overboard at work until you are back into routine. And belated Happy Birthday to your DH sorry I missed it xx
Diva Hi hun, thanks re the daily thread - I just never seem to have time but I will try as I am missing out on what everybody is up to! Hope the news if Tris is better and your friend. I hope the new vehicle will be a huge success even though it puts you in debt - try not to hold that against it - you will give it a complex:rotfl: and afterall its only money:rotfl: get out and enjoy it as much as you can you deserve it.
poffgirl hope your water is back on - what a nightmare with children and no water!
ajmoney hope I havent missed you - just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow - hope the trains are ok - I am sure you will play beautifully.
ragz how lovely for you that you feel your house is tidy and you are ready for baby -it will be so much easier for you to start with - remember we want to know asap and a piccie!!! take care of yourself angel and I hope everything goes to plan with the birth when it comes.
LameWolf hope you are feeling better now
pooh honey if you have 3 men sitting watching tv again then I suggest you either join them, do something nice for yourself or get the hoover out and make them help:rotfl:
MissH well done for adjusting your list to suit your needs - thats the way to do it so long as you aren't avoiding something - we cant see whats in people's houses so pigpen has to be as varied as she can to cover as many possibilities as poss.
carol hope you have got your revision started or aunty will be nagging!!!:rotfl:
oh and while I am thinking of nagging I have been neglecting somebody....AnW'sMum yoohoo!!!!! .....TAX RETURN!!!!!!!!!:rotfl:
carlsbergnangran huge (((hugs))) but BD's are not allowed here so throw a bone outside and then lock the door! hope you feel brighter soon. Nobodies are more pressing than your own so dont not post - having your baby boy going toa war zone must be the most worrying thing going - I dont know if I could cope. but hey less of the morbid talk and stop thinking him hurt or dead - you will curse him!! You have to build a positive protective shield around him so get with it babe and get thinking and praying for everything to look after him. he will be fine!

I will post them tomorrow... if I can't get to the office you can have the originals (complete with grubby marks!) as I know them off by heart now.

I suggest you use a stick on public transport, just to keep people away from your sensitive ankle. It was the driving that caused me the biggest problem and stopped the healing, so hopefully you'll recover quickly (apparently doing the exercises is the important thing there...:o). You may need to try to work from home a couple of days a week to minimise the stress on it. I can also highly recommend sports massage and ultrasound to help.

This meeting is not very exciting... :rolleyes:
