    Afternoon my lovlies
    its bright and sunny - not as good as yesterday but a good drying day.

    tooch hope you are feeling better today
    Holly :rotfl:its amazing the effect of a GF can have!!!!
    Diva :jyou're back! good to see you and you sound like me - i need to get things straight in my head before I speak to others -sorry to hear about your friend - i hope she relaxes and manages to sort things out in her life - in case I miss you in the morning - I will send loads of positives vibes for your meeting tomorrow xx
    83rachel you will have to be very strict and not buy anymore showergel for DH - and tell everyone he is not needing any when its his birthday or at Christmas - that lot should last a year!
    soappie good luck for your talk tonight although I am sure you wont need it - *find more work for soappie* vibes are very important so will send an extra load:D
    G&B thats great news about LO - I hope that will keep her going for another spell and that she stays well. oh yee of little faith:rotfl: I do not do 'overdoing it'! well not housework anyway - only toooooooo many nice things!:D and as you can see the thread police dont let me off with much:rotfl::rotfl:
    scotdebs the sidetracked afternoon/evening must have been nice all the same - just do what you can - dont go mad and tire yourself out!
    Penny That is atrocious behaviour! I hope you are going to say something - if the same has happened to other families then its not only unfair on the children but also on the companies/college etc that have given time to come - very rude! - could you get your Ds to check round his class - maybe send a letter to parents and then have a full scale complaint to the board?
    Dusty hope you got good weather to escape from the builder - will this be the last of the major mess he makes?
    greenbee see? you were worrying for nothing - glad you will have another friend out of it - and who knows where that will lead.
    Mudbath can I have more warning in future:rotfl::rotfl: and I will have the stripey dog since you are obviously neglecting her and she is needing fed more - you bad dog-mummy:rotfl: I bet she was trying to call her aunty Toots for help and swallowed it by mistake - I do hope it emerges soon!!!!
    Valli WTG getting all the phone calls done - nice to see you on the ball again!
    MissHiggerty :mad: I think I might have a spare flack jacket you can have. Oh dear angel - I remember you saying that you did think it would get worse - its horrible being in the middle - i hope now that it has blown up big style there is a lot more out in the open and it will resolve amicably.
    Polly you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of us up here in the frozen north with your gardening! its still toooo frosty to gut grass here! well done to you:T and your woofit is beautiful already so i bet she is gorgeous having been washed and clipped.:D

    bed stripped and washed -I got the carer to strip it this morning so that my cleaner could either put it back on or make it up with others - and what happens? the cleaner texted to say could she come tomorrow instead! So now I will have to make up the bed myself which will taek me ages as its one of the jobs that i really struggle with.

    need to go across to shop and post Mother's Day card and to Asda to put in prescription - will be nice little walk in the fresh air.

    get well vibes for all the poorlies - hope you are all making some progress.

    back later
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Afternoon all

    Glad to see Thursday is bathroom day - the one room I can manage to do in about 30mins!

    Only managed to do the living room this week as been really busy - Clinc appt Monday (1hr behind schedule so didn't get home til 8pm) College Tues, Wed out volunteering - with my young mentee :) tonight i'm at college sitting my exam and then off swimming with DH so when I get home I can quickly manage to fly round the bathroom.

    Only have a week and 3 days left at work so trying to tie stuff up so I have been mega busy here too. Although I can't built up 4hrs of flexi - perhaps I should use this to catch up on my flying :rotfl:

    Been to see Dr this morning, I have an infection in my toe so he's put me on Pencillin (sp?) and is referring me to the hospital for an appointment to get it sorted - hopefully it shouldn't take to long!

    Hugs to all the need them

    Mudders.. does the dog ring then? Is she a 'dog and bone'? If you press her can you answer it and both parties have to shout? PMSL!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Pigpen and Mudders - :eek:, yuck!

    Feeling shocking today, daren't bend over, stomach too painful and head feels as though it may explode. Apparantely DH had to construct a barrier in bed last night because I was burning up but still trying to snuggle up to him. Have managed level 1s for all week so far and that's about it but it's much better than I would have done before when feeling grots and then would have had hideous mess to clear up when still recovering, so thanks again all flyladies.

    Hobbling back to sofa now
