juliejim

I've just updated my list on the previous page and there isn't that much left to do on either Mon or Tues's lists so there might be a possiblility of me getting some stars this week.

Potty - thanks for the weather info - DH says have you got any stew for when he gets there to warm him up!:p

My shredder's not working - going to check the fuse in a min to see if it's that or whether I need a new one.

I'm going to do another HHC 8.30 - 9 if anyone wants to join me.

Oh dear, have not done very well at all today , however i have had a full day, bathed the kids this morning, then went to find out about funding as I'm thinking about being a Self employed bookkeeper. Made lunch when i got home and then my friend came over with her 2 kiddies and then as she was leaving my sister came round and then it was tea time! So all i managed to do was clean the toilet, bath and sink and change the bath mat! never mind, tomorrows another day and its amazing that I managed to do that really!

Have a sneaky tipple now :beer:, have decided that tomorrow is day 1 of healthy eating regime!

Big hugs:T:T

Also realised I've not been told when to get the stitches out. Is it usually about ten days?

Probably - but you will need to go to your GP's surgery. Give them a call. And I wish you a slumberful night. I remember when I fell and needed stitches in my knee, the original wound didn't really hurt at all, but boy did the stitch holes sting and whinge all night just like paper cuts once the local wore off!

Sexym - hugs love!

Rach, out of curiosity, given the differences between Greenbee's and mine with the medics and the ankle, are you strapped or unstrapped? And if you're strapped, have they said when you should unstrap?

Lil-me, well done on the doggy treats!

Valli - be careful with that housework - you don't want to exhaust yourself! You should be pampering and preening. After all, I hope you're not going to invite him home on a First Date!

JulieJ - congrats on your DS swimming test. And it's good he wants to carry on. Having lived near the sea since my children were very small, I've always thought it's extremely important for children to know how to swim - OK they may not be Olympic stars, but as long as they have the strength to plod their way through water to a safe place, that's what matters.

Hugs Lo-lo - it sounds like you need them!

Mumof2 - the glitter story - it's something to remind him of publicly at his wedding

Boddy - Re your voluntary job and being busy - have there been a lot more admissions because of the weather?

~passes Jinky a plunger ~

Welcome HelzB - you're never too late to join in :xmastree:

For some reason I was miss popular tonight and the phone didn't stop for about two hours. But, thanks to the hands free kit, I managed to S&S the kitchen and prep dinner which is almost ready.

I have decluttered an awful lot of words from my head this afternoon and unfortunately the flying in the bathroom has suffered. But I promise to do better tomorrow

reminds me of the time DS decided to rub Sudocreme all over the sofa, carpet and himself:eek::mad::rotfl:

Lol, my two have done that many a time. They are very quiet when they do it, and it is the worst thing to try and shift!!

Absolutely NOT - I have teenagers to set an example to!
