Another one in a grump this morning here.. I have been awake since about 2.. dozed for a few minutes here and there.. was too hot, desperately needed a drink.. OH elbowed me in the head so I went downstairs..

uninstalled loads of junk off the pc
loaded both WM's
Loaded DW
Fed rabbits and fish
Filled compost caddy
Had a cuppa.. was even more thirsty

and at 7:30 came upstairs to turn off the alarm..

I am absolutely exhausted.. I am so tired I have already snivelled in my tea..

I foresee I'm going to be lovely to be around today!

Tomorrow... Friday???

Oh !!!!!!..

I have parents consultations at 9am.. promised the girls shopping after our communal eyebrow/nail appoiintment at 11.. new underwear all round.. may force my mother to come along too..

The grubs are off to KH's for the weekend and we are back off to OH's mums as it is his dads birthday do this Saturday.. so I have my stuff to pack up today or it'll not get done. This includes taking the dress in across the chest and shortening the straps.. Sewing machine out then.. *sob cry wail*

Rosie liking the website :T do you make things to order? in a specific colour? I like the ipod holder.

We had a flurry of snow last night which I thought would be gone this morning - wrong! it's only a bit but I bet it's slippy. hope the car starts :rotfl: Got a bit of a 'saving grace' re the car, mechanic friend has a 'banger' L reg Astra but it's in fabulous working order and just passed it's MOT, only wants a few hundred for it, and may take weekly payments :T going to look at it after work, hopefully it will still be light.

So, Thursday's mega clean with valli is on hold till Saturday morning now as I've got a 3 hr job this avo and then straight to look at the car, then I've got to cook the half price chicken I got from M&S or it'll go orf, so no time for a clean.

Morning all, feel like howling as have put on a pound this week, rather than take one off! I hate being wobbly!!!!!

Piggers, hope your day picks up for you. Think of the lovely things to look forward too.

Toots - thanks for the multi-quotes tip. Will try that out later.

No flying today ... however, night out tomorrow is cancelled due to poorliness of one of the guests (and we wanna do it together) so can catch up then.

Hi all, Im back today and will hopefully be joining in with the flying. There appears to be 36 pages of this thread - sorry, cant possibly catch up with all of it, so hope everyone's well and hugs to all who arent.

When i got to the hospital, my mum was attached to tubes and drips and oxygen everywhere and her first words to me were 'I'm perfectly all right so dont start worrying'. My response: 'Yeah, you look it too!' The fact that she said it though indicates she is feeling heaps better. The oxygen was because she had had a colonoscopy that morning and they had had to do it without sedation as they couldnt get a canular in (something that has been a problem all her life actually), so she was in a bit of shock. She did seem chirpy enough though. And they still have no idea what's wrong with her!

To cap it all, I stayed with my dad and his wife and at 3.30am my first night there, they had to call an ambulance cos she was having chest pains.

So all in all a 'wonderful' trip away! At least my dad was still on his feet when I left!!

Anyway, havent a hope of doing all the list today - my study will take forever. So where it says 'declutter the floor' I will do a section but cant do the whole thing.

Hi everyone

I've done quite a lot of the computer stuff already this week, so I'm going to try to sail round the bathroom while printing out my work for today. Got to leave to get in for 11:00am today - it's an hour's drive, so that leaves me just about an hour for flying and 15 mins to change clothes and put my face on....

That should concentrate my mind a bit! Starting right now - join me?

Love to all
