    Piggers ((hugs)) have you thought of testing? I know a few who have used these
    ww.yorktest.com/en/our-tests/ and been very happy with the service

    Hi all, another busy day. DS2s appointment went ok at dental hospital, she was really nice. He's going to get 'caps' put on his teeth next week...well they are going to try. His doctor is doing the procedure herself to stop DS2 needing to trust someone else. He was being rather challenging....odd place set up like a call centre so he struggled to cope with it.

    Just got this photo, can't share on FB but here I am, I realise very few have seen photo of me & I've only met embb

    http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v241/lil_me/?action=view&current=MCT_Grp_with_Kate_Sturdy_1.jpg

    I'm second in from left white shirt, Kate (DCFS director person) has the cream top over green & the others are some of the parents & some heads of service from round here I spend most Thursdays with, there can be up to 30 of us. I won't leave it on forever, but trust you not to share elsewhere. ***edit*** we are such a messy lot aren't we :o just realised what a tip the boardroom desk is :o :rotfl: you can see half of my mess & my coffee mug on the left of the desk.

    Today has mainly been out of the house stuff, but house isn't too bad. Dad is back out of hospital as he got kept in yesterday, his liver function is improving thankfully, they've told him to listen to his body as another week & he might not have got to the hospital so maybe the shake he needs. Cleared up after DS2s card/present unwrapping straight away (thank you for his messages x) LR list done.....oh having a small living room is great! WM is on but is rattling grrr it better not break too. DW just finished. Meeting prep done for tomorrow (I can see it being stressful.....) Tomorrow meeting then cubs/swimming dash, Friday course so don't think I will get any more stars.

    Shower & more laundry for me tonight, DS1s just brought his basket down for me, joys!!

    CAN I HAVE MY THIRD STAR PLEASEEEEEE
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hi all
    Haven't really caught up with the thread, but notice you're feeling a bit grim Pigpen. Mum gets IBS and finds that a hot water bottle can help ease the cramping...hope you soon feel a bit better.

    Have had a reasonable day today - was good to find that I'd done quite a bit of the list yesterday whilst waiting for my sis and nephew to arrive...good job really as we had to go and buy a fuse for OH's car. Mad really, the Halfords here has shut down and the nearest one is 7 miles away. Still, it meant I could go to the butcher and stock up the freezer :D

    Anyway, I did the following:

    Wednesday ~ Living/Family/Reception room
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Declutter and vacuum floor!
    Wipe sticky grubby marks from sofas[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Wipe sticky grubby marks from walls and paintwork
    [STRIKE]Vacuum nuder furniture you can safely move.. we have bit of a baby boom on at the moment so please all be careful!!!
    Wash any smelly soft furnishings (this may include pets and OH's)[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    Clear and wipe firesurround..
    [STRIKE]Decant all the miscellaneous papers and bits into a box[/STRIKE]
    Polish any glass.. screens, pictures, ornaments mirrors etc

    Extras
    1. Wipe and water any plants
    2. Vacuum fluff from the fire and behind the radiator
    3. [STRIKE]Sort through the box of miscellaneous belongings[/STRIKE] Sorted my wool stash...have reduced it by a third - all going to my sister!
    4. Binbag dance
    In addition, I bleached and tea tree oiled the mouldy spot in my bedroom (belt and braces approach!), sorted and tidied around the place, 2 x WM (now hanging damply around the place) and kicked the black dog up the backside. He's now sitting by the back gate.

    Right, I'm off to do HHI, then DD's packed lunch for tomorrow, unload dishwasher and reload, freeze down leftovers and set bread machine for the morning. Hope to be sitting with my feet up by 9.30. Alcohol may be involved...

    Have a good evening all
