    welcome to the thread kittykirsty - dont try to play catch up especially if you are not well - just start from today and do what bits you can - if you feel better at the weekend you can do a bit of catching up then or get the rest of the household roped in and you crack the whip!!!

    Thanks toots, I've lurked for ages, and there's such a great atmosphere on here I couldn't put off joining any longer! TBH it's the kitchen that has been bothering me the most, so I'd rather try and play catch up on it! I know this will get much easier after the first pass or two over the whole place! And OH is deffo getting roped in when he gets home, after he's made me a cuppa! :rotfl:

    Tuesday's list completed and a big hello and hugs tootles xx

    Also, thank you for all the others who welcomed me back. Boddy - DS keeps mentioning you whenever he plays with his 'little lego' as he calls it....he also asked if Boddy was the real name of the tooth fairy!!!! :rotfl:

    List completed and quite a few extras done including taking all DS's badges off his cub top and sewing them on properly - they look much better now. Also nipped out to buy a new lunch box for DD as hers finally gave up today (she has had it since year 2 and is now in year 6 so I can't complain!!!). I also bought a biscuit tin in John Lewis because it was lovely and I've always wanted one (don't know why)....feel guilty for buying it now so think I'll give it to my sister for her birthday as she'll love it. Mmmm decisions decisions!

    Hope you're all having a good day xx

    froddy thats wonderful news - what a relief for everybody - I hope its not too long before he is back beside you xx
    Mumof2 my brothers chooks all squat down when you go to lift them - they actually quite like being handled as they have all done it since the chooks were little - could you start lifting them out of their bed for starters - can you get in their run so you could pick them up without having to chase them first?
    aj loads of happy vibes winging their way to you - hope the toxic people leave you alone
    Quillion well done entering the race - you have come a looooooong way this last year xx
    methekids hope you are none the worse of your nose bleed and thats good news about the trolley
    funfair hope you havent over done it today getting ready for the painting - did you find the pink you wanted?
    Penny - sorry I missed your reqest this morning - hope DS sailed through his exam and your meeting went well
    AnW'sMum :p:p:p well you had better start learning the language!!! Hope you have collected the new car and are pleased with everything.
    Kazm hope the dental appt went ok xx
    Diva hope the hospital appt went ok xx
    chocolatebum hope the sick child is better now
    Rose - good to hear they made some progress for you last night - you will have to work hard now and get the rest done and keep it all tidy. You still have loads on that list:eek:
    vanilla thank goodness you got a new TD - that other one was a fire hazard IMHO

    off for my tea - catch you later when I have done something to report!!!
