Morning everyone
its another frosty start here - minus 5 again apparently! but it is lovely and sunny just now.

liloandstitch you will have to be careful and not get carried away again - pace yourself pet.
hello Diva:hello:
Jenny take it slowly and build up to doing more each week - if you can manage level 1 everyday this coming week you will notice adifference and like you say its maybe more than you would have normally done and its a bit more structured too
jackywhizz ooooooooh you lucky thing i hope you had a fabulous time. AND a new puppy - did I miss something - was it an important birthday? of course we want piccies - what, how old, name age etc :rotfl:
Sarah you have done very well catching up and it shows that all your previous lists and hard work have helped - its not so hard to get back in control after you have been following the lists for a week or 2 - glad LO is improving.
Jinky (((hugs))) you are doing a great job - I hope they appreciate you xx
tc glad you had a good time away - pity about the cold though - hope you feel better soon - sorry I missed your 2nd star last week - will give you one this week in its place - will that do??
rach (((hugs))) and prayers for you and all the families involved - I certainly do hope thats the only 3. thats enough!
pigpen I think you will need roller blades to get round all that today!!!

ok I eventually managed to get 28 lots on ebay - pretty pathetic really - but between 9.30 and 11.30 it was so slow - i dont know if it was my system, TL, the internet or what but I was slowly losing the will to carry on - anyway i have 1 item with a bid on almost instantly so will try to do some more today and keep it moving along.

Valli.. what size boots does he need? I have some that were DS1's might do? think they are a 10 or 11.. ? They are nice adidas ones too.. not cheapy things

thanks fot the offer - unfortunately Adidas tend to be too narrow for him also his need is actually desperate as his others have a separate upper and sole and he needs them for Sunday.

I am now on sudafed! A whole week for a cold and now sinus trouble. The joys. I have washed 3 loads this morning, ironed the last of yesterdays and stuck it in front of a window to air, brught and sunney here so windows open and house airing.

gentle Hugs and ouches for Natty and Mummyof5

Morning everyone.

Its been a busy week at my voluntary job but interesting. Babysat a 10 year old who came by himself to find his mum. Who had discharged herself the day before and left him at a friends. Staff were concerned and rang his father who lives elsewhere to come get him. A lovely boy and I really felt for him.

No plans for today except catching up in the house. 2 washer loads done and busy with dailies now.

kazw Mum is fine and doing well at the moment.

That explains a LOT :p

Well done on the ebaying toots

Better get myself in the shower and do a S&S of the kitchen, as I have a friend coming for lunch and a walk at 1.30. Hopefully the fresh air will kill a few germs.
