    I've been for a walk (3 miles) and posted my health insurance claim and a cheque to pay in. Luckily I realised before I posted my passport application that I hadn't put the cheque in :o so I'm going to get that sorted out this afternoon at some point.
    .
    You have reminded me that yesterday I posted a birthday card in the post box that I was suposed to be delivering by hand. Had to go in the post office and ask for it back:o

    Today I have washed some dishes, put clothes away in bedrooms, put loo cleaner in all the loos and squirted some shower cleaner on showers.

    Going to be weighed and will rinse, scrub off later. I don't want to be too smelly when I go out.

    Wednesday is finished Toots, thank you!

    Loo scrubbbed. I'm dialled in to my teleconference but as usual the technology is defeating them :rotfl:so the slides aren't up yet.

    Better get some more decluttering and clearing up done in the study between now and lunch! And any paperwork I can think of...

    Can't see me flying today as having a really bad day. The airport issue is resolved - I'm NOT doing it and he'll make his own way back. We had a row over something else instead and the airport thing just joined in with it iykwim :(. Had to go back to GPs today for a second opinion on yesterday's visit - should all be OK but came back with armfuls of drugs and of course lost yet another hour of my time. The dog's not eating at all - she's on hunger strike and I think she's depressed :(. Oh yes, and to top it all DS is throwing the BIGGEST temper tantrums I've ever seen; took over 20 mins to get him home (normally takes 5 mins), won't eat, been screaming so much he was almost sick.

    I feel emotionally drained and like I've had all the stuffing knocked out of me so really don't feel like cleaning the toilet :(.

    Sorry for down post and massive big squidy hugs to all xx

Will do later.

    On the smear subject can I ask any of you who have a spare minute to go on the number 10 petition site and sign the petition to lower the age to 20 from 25? Cervical cancer is the biggest cancer-killer in women aged 20-29, but my friends and I can't go for a smear for another 5 years.

    Love to everyone
    xxxx

    I will do it (the petition).
    Going for my test tonight.

    Edit: petition is done.
    Jinky, glad to see your post. :)

  • The customer has just gone but i'm not going to get to the freezer centre and back before my daughter finishes school - best laid plans and all that.......I have managed to sew a couple of badges onto my daughters' brownie sash and will sort my other daughters ballet costume while watching the Ozzie soaps. Then i'll do my tasks before the school run.

    Just wanted to ask which threads you all belong to? Can you recommend any? I'm finding this the most chatty and getting great ideas and motivation from you all. I've also joined one of the xmas gifts in a bid to be a bit more prepared for this year and the supermarket challenge - they just don't seem to be interested in what i have to say. I started a spending diary but think its in the wrong place as i haven't had any one say anything about it or look at it - where have you placed yours?
