Afternoon ladies

Just logging in from work during my lunch break. Its been an OK morning really but so hard to get back into things and the computer system's changed so trying to find my way round that!

FLYING :-
I actually managed to empty the dishwasher first thing this morning while I was making my breakfast, so that and clearing away MY breakfast things is all the flying I have done today.

Have had a quick catch up so

Jo - thanks for being my working mum fwendy
1 step closer - I just deleted study as its a tip :rotfl:
Rose - thank for thinking of me, I'm fine really it was just the thought of facing work again
AnW'smum - Hope you ok hun, banging your head is NOT good at all. Hope the b*m and elbows aren't too painful either
Oooh ragz - do you think it will be today, is it you who's having the home birth, I cant remember
MOJ2 - I just do the ones for that room unless I am feeling very good
nuttyrockeress - you cant expect it all to be done at once. I am now working FT so even if you can choose 1 job off the list to do each day instead of flopping its an achievement. Next week that job will only take seconds so you'll have more time to do another one. I will be back to doing one HHC in the evenings now and get what I can done in that time. Anything else can wait. Dont beat yourself up it isnt worth it, its housework at the end of the day and I've never heard of anyone dying due to housework :rotfl:

RIght I better go and declutter a cuppa before I go back to work at 1.

See you all this evening

Thanks Kaz that is what I was hoping was the answer

AnW if you feel sick at all then make sure you ring NHS direct/doctor incase of concussion.

jinky - I do have a SC and have re unearthed it and am looking at the SC thread daily for more ideas. I know there is the sc recpies index but I like to see what people are actually cooking for inspiration.

OK, must put laptop down and do Level One Monday...... Wish me luck

Ankle was sore when I woke up but no more bruising has come out. As we're ttc and there's a chance it has worked I can't use arnica or ibuprofen gel (though I did before checking yesterday) so have leg up on cushion on coffee table and applying ice (bag of peas!) every now and again.

I will do some flying later, I need to put some weight on my ankle. DH is also home today after 2 attempts to get to work - bang goes my quiet day!

:coffee: all round

I was sure arnica is fine in pregnancy.. most homeopathic stuff is.. go consult my homeopath.. on my facebook.. Fiona D.. she is marvellous.. tell her I sent you.

hugs rach and anwsmum I hope all your bruising is better very soon.

I have a flylady cleaning query, dog related. I think my pup has just come into season, red spots on the carpet. How do I deal with it, keep carpets clean etc? I have never in my adult life had a dog who is not spayed. Vet said we should wait until mid Feb before we have her done.
