    Rosepink my nutty nurse has given me a sheet to fill in for her to check so I think I will have to join you. Since it is out of February I will have a better head on! You go girl well done!
    I will hold you to it! How often are you going to go out and how far do you think you will go?

    So tired I don't know what to do with myself! And to cap it all off there is nothing for lunch so I've had crumpets! There's not even any bread!

    I've managed to clean bathroom sink and hoover a bit. Have cleared some floors and opened bathroom window. Birds are singing, it sounds lovely.

    Just watching the news and then going for a nap or I'll never manage my declutter session this evening. DH has been coming to bed really late the last few nights and if he's up, I'm awake, so I can't go to sleep til he comes ot bed. It's wearing me out! :eek:

    hugs Me, hope you are feeling better soon xx

    Mrs Chaos I hope the babies arrive safely, will be thinking of your friend

    Welcome newbies

    Frankerooney I hope you are better soon

    Ishtar thinking of you and your mum today

    Thanks for thinking of me today, I don’t actually celebrate birthdays but appreciate the thought

    Wilf how did it go in Florida?

    Hiya everyone

    Monday's list completed!

    I've also been to the wholesalers for work stuff, walked the dogs, popped to the shops and done a smelly wash (all the dog beds, dog towels etc).

    I've been avoiding the school and my phone all day as I'm getting loads of people phoning up panicing about the school admissions. We get an email after 330pm to tell us which school DD has got. There's a high chance we'll have to go to appeal even though we've put down our closest school and DD is in a feeder school for it. It's crazy when you can't even get in your local school. I'm refusing to stress until I know one way or the other....just keeping busy instead - story of my life! Lol!

    Right, off to find something else to sort/throw away/clean etc.

    Hugs to you all and I hope anyone else waiting gets the school they want xx

    I'm in again this week, thanks to toots, soappie and pigpen.

    I've had a lovely weekend in Glasgow but my sister and BIL have had an awful weekend.
    Rhys played up from we left until we got home. They rang on saturday night and i could hear him roaring down the phone (this was at 12.45am sunday morning) he stayed awake until near 3 just screaming.
    Then Sunday he stayed in a grump all day and woke through the night, i think it was the teeth. They dosed him up but no good. We then had to get up at 3.30 this morning and was back home for 9, he cryed for an hour then slept for an hour and has been in good form since. (confused smilie)
    I'm so tired today so doubt i'll get much done,it will be an early one tonight.

    Happy Birthday Rose and Kazmeister.:bdaycake::bdaycake:
    Great news prettypennies.

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Happy birthday rose and kazmeister!!

    Okay, back from the evil work (boo, hiss) and have caught up (and decluttered half a pack of ginger creams) so am going to go find my list...I know I left it around here some where.

    *Hugs* to all those going through school stuff! I hope you all get your choices :eek:to Mudbath - that is silly, you'd've thought closest would be a surety.

    Oh great, just discovered I've left my tissues on the other side of the room....this never ends well

    Must. Find. List!
