    List done.. going to die and slow and agonising death... or I may just go to bed and roll about in pain every so often and whine and whinge.. and the only windeze I have is dated Oct 2004 and my gaviscon is lemon flavoured and tastes hideous and repeats and is dated July 2005... You know I said about us needing to sort out and restock our medicine cupboards the other week?... Well.. I didn't do it!! Mainly because it means climbing up the freezer.. ggrrr

    Lamewolf.. I have a major thing about smears after 2 of my sisters needed further treatment.. one of them almost ended up with a hysterectomy last year at 27!! Now.. I'l nag you!!.. and I am so much better at it than the doctors lol!

  • Hi everyone,

    I've not been around this week as I've been working full time while DH has got a week off work. Just trying to get some hours in while he's off and we're trying to get caught up on things at work too.

    So.....as I've not been here there has been no flying done!:mad: Not a single tidy room.

    Oh well, at least the kids have been fed and watered and my tea was ready on Monday night when I got in.

    But the good news is.......I've done my tax return!!!!!:j:j:j:j:j and it was totally painless and took all of about 7 minutes. So that's a weight off my mind.

    Anyway, I've been staring at a screen all day so my eyes need a rest.

    Hugs for everyone...sorry I can't be more specific but my eyes really are going square now!

    What do you have instead Jo?

    Piggers - sympathy for you - I've developed heartburn/reflux this last week - never had it before but have been rather stressy tressy so wonder if it is that - must remember to eat more regularly and the gaviscon is helping (lemon flavour sounds hideous, mine is peppermint which is just bearable).

    I have cleaned the bathroom
    Hoovered and mopped all downstairs hard floors
    washed up/loaded dw

    Just going to put the washing on and then I need to hem DS3's new school trousers for tomorrow, need to finish the cloakroom s&s too oh and print off the form to return my camera - bedtime could be a wee bit away yet.

    1. Hi,
      Can I have a star please.
      completed all three levels which was afeat as had to wait for dh to come home and fix hoover. Extras done were de fluffing fire, washing, hh1, bathroom and kit s and s.
      Normally I always seem to be getting nowhere and keep saying I will do room by room and then a few other bits and having this thread really works. It also helps with remembering things.
