    Thanks Pollybear, Pigpen, hollyh, Triker, soappie, (and anyone I've missed) ....your positive healing wishes and comments are very much appreciated.

    She doesn't have a date for the operation yet - but due to medical history it looks like it'll be keyhole with an epidural. She'll have a five day stay in hospital....can't imagine her enjoying that, I must say!

    Managed to get a few things done as well:

    If it ain't there, it's done....

    Monday ~ Kitchen & Dining area
    Level One
    Declutter and wipe worksurfaces
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Level Two
    Scrub out the sink and polish the taps
    Run appliances through a clean cycle.. clean filters, drawers and doorseals first!
    Level Three
    Clean out the cupboard with the pet food/miscellaneous items!

    Extras
    1. dust and deweb!

    and, I used last weeks list for Children's room and managed the following....

    [FONT=&quot]Friday ~ Childrens Rooms, Spare rooms Or just neglected spaces!

    [FONT=&quot]Level One[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]
    [STRIKE]Declutter and [/STRIKE][FONT=&quot]vacuum the floor!
    Make half an hour for YOURSELF!!! fat chance.
    Level Two
    Level Three

    Not sure if this bears any relation to the list that will be posted, but I'm just trying to keep motivated. I've had a lot of s*** over the past couple of days - in particular from a buyer on eBay. Consequently, there'll be no more eBay sales by me ever.

    I suffer quite badly with SAD and I've set a deadline...if I don't feel better by mid-March (I usually do), then I'm off to the doctor for some Prozac - I'm fed up with feeling so rubbish all the time. (I had late onset PND with DD, diagnosed when she was just over a year old, so there's a little voice in there 'just wondering').

    Anyway, that's enough of me whining on...DS is refusing to go to sleep...looks like I'm in for a late night!

    Take care all

    Just wanted to say Ishtar you're not whining honey - you're going through an awful lot and then with having a lo to look after too it really takes it out of you. I really hope the operation cures your Mum and if you don't feel better go to the GP. I know how awful depression is, mine started as delayed PND too so this is all very familiar. Take care (((hugs))) xx


    DH gone to pharmacy as DS's ear playing up again - he is saying it's hurting and it's gone very hot. He was fine earlier, but really not good again so looks like I'll have him with me all day tomorrow too.

    Got washing up to do, DD to get to bed, do shopping list for Mr T (coming tomorrow so got til 10 to do it) and must finish this interview. I'll be back later to check if tomorrow's list is available.

    Grrr been back to shop to change Emily's new shoes cos they have rubbed her feet raw and she only wore them on the 10 minute walk to school then had to wear pumps all day cos she was in agony - manager was miffed cos she sold them to us and didn't want us to return them cos they had been worn - well, not being nasty, but if she'd fitted them properly in the first place then we might not have been back!

    Got home to find Adam curled up on sofa, dosed up on calpol and nurofen :( Has a raging temperature and is feeling cold and wanting cuddles and blankets - which so won't help his temperature come down. Hopefully he'll do the toddler miracle recovery by tomorrow morning.

    Kitchen will get some attention later but dh has been Adam sitting all day and he hasn't been allowed to leave his side - so much for all my protests yesterday

    Thanks Prettypennies - poppet is a lovely word and it described him exactly! xx

    Thanks too Boddy xx

    Evening ladies

    Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes - and to my birthday twin
    Rosepink I hope you had a wonderful day 11.gif
    whichever you chose, I usually choose the 28th as mum always said my birthday was last day of feb so kind of stick with that. Hope you feel better soon and that your lovely friends helping you to declutter will help create a positive feeling for you.

    I hope those who are not well or have family not well improve soon, have a hug 4.gif

    to all those starting flylady

    14.gif guess I better go and start some flying now as have been at work 8 - 4 then did 2 rounds of shopping before collecting DD so other than 5 mins unloading shopping didnt get in until 1/4 to 7. Luckily DH had cooked tea (and finished off the washing 11.gif) just need to go and clear up the mess now. Will try and pop back in later but might just collapse into a heap

    TTFN

    PS havent caught up with fred as I need to fly so 3.gif
