    Glad you are feeling better, Tooch. And hope you're ok jinky.

    Have broken the back of the exam marking, yay! Have managed a wash a day and a few level ones but little else.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
  • Good morning everyone :cool: Been MIA, with a combination of being realllllllllllllly busy, and a small amount of not coping :(

    Jinkster - don;t you dare run away from here - we're your friends and this thread will be a poorer place without you. Consider yourself told :p :kisses3:

    Anyone for a HHC 9:00 - 9:30 :) I have lots of dot-to-dotting planned ;)

    Off to find a list, Penny. x

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Boddy she sounds a mare, you're well shot of her, hope you get someone nice x
    jinks hope you come back today, re: BenW's post.... see you're inspiring people :p x
    toots thanks, I think doing it all in one go will work, I'm putting pressure on myself to do the list everyday and it's no good. x

    Still no sign of Lily. Got work this morning then the big clean this avo, although I've already done the master bed, bathroom and littleys room, so just the rest of the house to do, will be a proper big clean next Thursday. I've pencilled in when to change my bed and littleys bed in my Diary :rotfl:sad moo that I am, but actually it's a cunning plan you'see all to do with not having 2 loads of bedding on the one day *taps nose*

    Already this morning I have:-

    made beds
    emptied kitchen bin
    seen to littley
    folded some washing
    made 2 x pack-ups

    still need to......empty DW & reload it, will do that now.

    That's just what's caused my CBA this week - almost no Board Guiding has been done, as I'm getting too many snidey comments from a user, for something she alleges I did to her over a year ago *shrug smilie*. !!!!!! is that about - get over it *shrug smilie* ETA, please don;t answer; rhetorical question, and I'm now over it!

    But please, please, come back. Take a wee break, though; it made me feel heaps better :D

    Sorry that this is off topic, so I will report that I've decluttered a slice of toast with HM rhubarb and ginger jam :p
