  • tooch -you take it easy until the pain is better and you have seen the doc -I was only teasing about the attic!!! I think if its gallstones/ gall bladder problems you need to cut out as much fat from your diet as possible - google it and see - it might just give you a bit of relief. (((hugs)))

    Just posting a list ready for tomorrow afternoon. Have had child protection evening, parents evening, an observation and a set of reports to write this week so have been focused on work although my house doesn't look too bad to be honest, think this flying is becoming second nature:)

    Am very proud that I have
    found receipts and packaged next returns up
    finally let tax credits know we have moved:T
    sorted out my seeds into month order ready to sow (given some spares to school)
    tidied my airing cupboard again
    finally put nearly all of the pictures up, just one room left to do:T
    found my desk and cleared and cleaned it, filed paperwork, ready to do some sewing this weekend

    we have had some surprise bills so it's back to meal planning and using up all the food in the cupboards instead of buying more:o

    Right I'm off to bed and to try to read the whole thread (may end up skimming, sorry)

  • Once again, I'd like to ask for flylady vibes and prayers please. A boy in my class has been off sick this week (he is almost never ill) and yesterday we heard he had been taken to hospital because he was becoming less and less responsive and his right arm and leg were very weak. We think they are doing / have done a scan. He is usually very lively, happy and funny and I am missing my little 'shadow' and am quite worried. We didn't hear any update today so I won't know any more until Monday now. Thanks for listening xx

    I have skimmed the thread so sorry if I've missed anything / anyone

    Ashia and Junior - Happy belated Birthday

    dreamy - congratulations and well done!

    purpleclutterbuck and diluvsdiscounts - welcome

  • Staggers in...I've been up since 7am (apart from short nap), can't believe I've had so much energy today! Am tired now, but that's fine as it's bedtime. Wanted to do a few mentions first, have only got up to p.38 so sorry if I've not seen anything important

    LW I hope your tummy is better soon

    Jinks sorry you’ve got the BD but the pic of it is so cute! I want one (a real one, not the metaphorical one). Have a hug though

    Hugs Rach, Lady Liberty and Diva

    Ruth well done on doing your statements, I don’t know what they are for but sounds like a lot of work!

    Leed, how nice to get compliments from your mum about how clean and tidy your house is! Yay!

    Ishtar hope you are better soon

    Quillion I don’t know what happened on FB but I hope you are ok xx

    Tooch well done on the weight loss and not having a hernia

    TC well done on your weight loss too! Yay!

    Toots, I’m so impressed with all your freecycling and selling! WTG! I sold something today and have two watchers on other things on ebay so that’s good!

    Diva I hope your appointment went well, and that you can get your shower fixed too

    Greenbee I hope the probs with the boiler and DW aren’t too serious

    Mum and Dad are coming over tomorrow and we are all going for a drive round pretty villages locally so they can take piccies. They seem to have developed an interest in photography lately and have taken some very artistic ones. They are collecting pictures of village signs (not the Welcome to... ones but the posh metal ones with pictures on) at the moment and there are lots round here so that will be good.

    See you tomorrow evening probably, have a good weekend xx

    Sorry I didn't post on here again yesterday. Woke up late in a lot of pain so had to call the district nurse up. She didn't get here til 1645 but that was Ok cos the SW and OT were an hour late and didn't get here til 1530!. And yes, the outcome was almost what we wanted so we are really pleased. Thank you ALL so much for the positive vibes, I know it made a difference. I was a bit disheartened by the nurses visit so I think that took the gloss off the good news for a while but I AM so grateful that someone has listened to us. It's such good news.

    We rang Mira today and explained exactly what was going on with the shower. They labelled us top priority due to our circumstances but then went on to say that top priority means three working days for the engineer to contact us so apparently we could wait til Tuesday afternoon for him to call and THEN make an appt to come look at it. *sighs*.
    head%20cold.gifHope all the poorly flyladies feel better today.

    Off to find my list.
