    Just catching up while having a quick cuppa. Not much done up to now except the dailies. I didnt sleep well as my legs and back were aching. Went to hairdressers this morning then met DD. We went for lunch then shopping. She wanted me to choose what I wanted for Mothers Day.

    Since coming back Ive binned piles of recycling. Due to receiving a letter from second endowment company I needed to find a document. Took me ages to find but got loads for recycling and will shred the rest later. Next doors tv has gone from my kitchen. I got the estate agent people to put it back next door till the skip comes. Off to tackle bathroom. HHI later as I need to iron my clothes for tomorrow.

    hex hugs.
    Carol Oooh Paris thats brilliant.
    Triker Hope you both feel better soon.
    Toots. I think mum may be right. I heard today there are complaints re the food. Thing is they have a protected meal time in place but there are ways and means. I will be keeping an eye as she has been losing weight.
    Diva Flylady vibes for you.
    Soappie Good luck tonight. Im sure you will be brilliant.
    g&b Glad to hear things went well for the LO.

    Hugs for everyone specially Toots, Lady L and Diva.

    greenbee - glad you got a response
    Pollybear - I am slowly working through the montbretia too. I have orange and red ones, they do spread themselves out a lot.
    I wish I could do a Dusty with the greenwaste bin, I have enough to fill it twice over

    Our streetview on google is lovely. I am guessing May so the Wisteria is flowering, the crab apple and the azaleas. I was in the front garden when they went past but luckily the crab apple hid me. It just looks green and lush and wonderful, very inspiring to get on and sort stuff this year.

    Thankyou to everyone for the support and kind comments. Sometimes I feel like I can't have an opinion which isn't easy when you are as bossy as me :o.

    WM is on, need to sort out lunchboxes and peel some potatoes for mash for dinner. Really not keeping on top of the cleaning this week, some short notice consultancy work which is good for our finances if nothing else.

    Jinky, I too have just woken up - and I was doing so well! DD2 went for a nap (she's nearly 2), and I managed to persuade DD1 to go for a lie down with me. Woke up 2 hours later when DD2 woke up, however I can't stir DD1!! She must really need it - hope she still sleeps tonight, I know I will! Anyway, plans for tea have gone out the window. DH will be back soon, so am going to chuck something quick in my 'cleaned out' oven. Thought I'd have gained my first ever star today, but still need to sort out that food cupbooard!!

    House next door is now empty so on the weekend we took all the stuff in their green bin - carpet etc to the dump with our stuff so now I have two green bins to play with - I can do a Double Dusty if need be :rotfl:

    Builder has got on really well today - the dust is indescribable.:eek:

    Lots of cleaning and painting to do at the weekend, one day I will be able to fly again but doubt it will be next week:o

    Having trouble this week getting organised and enthusiastic......might have something to do with a damaged hose on my sleep machine and I'm not getting enough sleep. I've spoken to the hospital last week and they told me to just turn up to get a new one. Hmmmm.......did that on Monday...25 mile round trip £3 to park, only to be told they 'were out of stock!' I was not a happy bunny.

    Apparently they will call me when they have them in. i can then book an appointment to go & collect - much safer.

    Meanwhile, I think I'm suffering.......it's a bit hard to tell because I'm always tired, but I think I'm more tired than usual.....does that make sense?

    Anyway, my living room looks great thanks to FLYING........ I've hoovered everywhere today, tidied kitchen, living room, dining room......

    Might get 1 star this week....

    If we had stars for reading the thread I'd get 1 every week!!:D

    Hello to everyone...I'd give hugs to anyone that needs/wants them, but I don't really do hugs :o(apart from the children :D)

    Speak later


    Notso
    I'm not so tired & not so desperate..... mainly thanks to MSE :D so just call me Notso.....
    Yes, I'm juggling and I might drop some.... but at least I'm trying ;)
