Evening all

Thank you for the good wishes. I still feel washed out - no idea what this is - so I'm pacing myself, because I really can't afford to be off work again. DS2 and I enjoyed our trip into town, but we didn't stay long or make it any further than that. Will take him to the playground tomorrow lunch time to make up for it (or ask DS1 to play footie with him for a bit) - could take a picknick to the park, maybe.
Tea made, eaten and kitchen tidied. Clean bedding on our bed and DS2's - DS1 does his own (eventually). DH saw to DS2's bath. WM is still going with plenty left to do for tomorrow. I'll try a small glass of wine in a moment and cuddle up with my blanket on the sofa. Maybe I can stay awake long enough to watch some of the stuff I've recorded. Or do some work, if I can shift the headache. I'm used to planning lessons, but from Monday we have to have full written plans for all lessons, hitting a number of criteria. That's double the work, because we already design a flipchart presentation (interactive whiteboard) for each lesson. The first four plans in the new format took me hours (hence the lack of sleep Thursday night), and I still have 6 to do - 2 of them must be ready by Monday. DH is in charge tomorrow afternoon, so I can get some work done. We'll see how that goes, because he usually goes to sleep on the sofa.
Sorry to moan - I'm just fed up with feeling ill when I can least do with it.

Soappie - that sounds like a lovely treat. I wish there was a place like that near here, because it's just the thing my MIL (and I) would love.
toots - Hope all goes according to plan next week and you can get some rest. Looking forward to having you back.
BenW - I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, but here are some birthday hugs, nevertheless.
Hugs to everybody else who's feeling below par.

:o Evening everyone. Sorry for being stroppy yesterday I just get so frustrated. It's not just my arm, I can't accept that I can't do what I used to be able to.
Anyway thank you all for your lovely words and support:)

Did plan on sorting all DD's annoying puppy in my pocket things but she isn't very well so she spent the day in bed watching DVD's. I can't chuck her stuff in the bin when she is watching me:rotfl:

Got some washing dry on the line. Oh and I ran out of bathroom cleaner so I made my own in the spray bottle with stardrops, zoflora and water. That should be ok shouldn't it. I don't want to kill us all when I use it:eek:

Ruth Still thinking of you, hope your birthday was ok and tomorrow isn't too bad for you x

Plan is to leave rest until tomorrow,i just hope i haven't burnt myself out. MIL contacted the sparky and he was going to call out this evening but had a call out that was urgent but he has promised monday, fingers crossed he shows.:D

I can understand that. What kind of job would you like? I've thought about going part time, but we couldn't manage with less income (DH earns very little). He has Thursdays off instead of Saturdays and I really envy the time he has at home with all of us out of the way. Especially if I think of what I could do with that time...(and what he does with it). Good luck with the job hunt.
