    Afternoon all.

    Checkin' in; flying has commenced - I don't need a*KICK* , honest Toots.:DLooks like a fairly easy one for me today (thankfully, cos I had a dreadful night last night, hardly slept).

    Happy Birthday methekidsandthecat and Flower

    Piggers Hel's teeth, I'd be killing your DS2 by slow and painful increments if that was me. Quite apart from the actual theft (thank goodness you found it before he spent it) it's the feeling of betrayal.:( Posi-vibes for you (I gather you don't "do" hugs). And as for your KH.... have you considered a Voodoo doll?:cool:

    Poohbear I hope you have a lovely lunch. :o

    I'm glad folks have found the link to the Spoon Theory useful; we always talk about spoons in our house now, and I often ask if I can have some of Mr LW's.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Tuesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing- done

    Star Please Toots

    In my HHC finished off list, put Jacket Potato in Oven ready for lunch @ 1pm.


    Can i say thanks to all for their motivation & support but especially Toots, Soappie & Pigpen, for the lists. My bedroom is completely declutered, all cupboards/wardrobes/drawers have been organised. I have finisthed off the DIY jobs ie puting up units/drawers/doors on wardrobes, found cushions to go on bed - bought them ages ago but lost them to the clutter mountain, reused furniture stored in loft to solve any additional storage problems, and finally have the room I dreamed of when I first moved in 8 1/2 yrs ago. Will now be able to plan for a refresh decorating week for April, knowing i do not have to remove loads of clutter first.

I am off for an hour of ironing and studying, if you see me before half 1 then get rid of me :D

    Hello everyone
    we have a lovely mild and sunny day here - sorry if its raining with you!

    I have done 2 x WM and they are on the line
    I have done a spell of pulling weeds at the back - it was so warm I could have stayed!
    I sorted out a tub of bulbs and pansies at the door
    the DN has been and sorted me out with my new medication - lots of liquid stuff that has to go in my tube now!
    And some of my dailies
    Now I am off to have lunch and then go and spend the afternoon watching DN1 in her speech and drame comps all afternoon/early evening.

    rach thanks for the praise but it ws all fairly easy things!!! I just keep chipping away!
    thifty sorry i cant offer any help on the teaching side but you have to relax and stop stressing about your obs - your head says you are good so believe her - when the next obs is due just be yourself and be confident in your ability to get a good mark - you CAN do it (((hugs)))
    Kazm:hello::A:A xx
    JillD :T:T:TWTG with the cooking - thats brilliant recovery from your disaster - bad news though about the replacement cost!
    pigpen hells bells- what a horrid thing to do to your own Mum - he must realise how tough things are for you? - I hope the trip to the police makes him realise the implications of his actions - and no games etc too - as if you didnt have enough on your plate. Oh but brilliant news about the backdated money - that will get the mortgage people off your back:D but OMG:eek::eek::eek::eek: I am horrified that it's GF would do that - is she a mother herself - I cant believe she would put children at risk like that - thats something else the solicitor needs to clamp down on.
    Happy Birthday Flower - long tme no see xx
    methe kids :bdaycake:Happy Birthday to you too -hope you have a good day and are not too sore. medium-smiley-133.gifsunshine to make you smile!!!!:rotfl:
    LadyL :hello: lots of love and hugs for you sweetie xx

    lemanie get well vibes for DS - thats been dragging on a bit (((hugs)))
    emma dont have kids so cant really help - but maybe he would take it better from a man?
    sammiell well done with your decluttering - hope the appts go well and you are soon feeling better (((hugs)))oooooooh you are another talented baker lady:T
    feefee As i said it good to see you back and very well done to you having paid off Dad:T:T:T:T:T
    pooh hope you have a lovely Christmas lunch and are feeling a bit better today. xx
    LameWolf I find it hard to belive you will ever need a kick - you always ssound so upbeat and motivated - I love to read your posts - they help me keep going - and I havent had time to properly read the spoons yet but from a quick glance I think it is what i need! Hope you manage to rest today (((hugs)))
    sabs10 :T:T:T:j:j:j how wonderful to have your bedroom sorted - I am delighted for you - you just needed a bit of focus and structure - you have done all the hard work - have fun planning your decorating xx

    hope you all have a great afternoon
    hope I will be back on later
    toots xx


    ETA forgot I also bagged up 3 large bags of kindling etc for my DB for his fire
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
