    LL sending lots of thoughts to Diva, I do hope she is okay after her op tomorrow. Give her my love when you text her please, and you look after yourself hon xx
    Toots you are naughty, thank you for my text earlier, it cheered me up knowing I have friends that care even though DH can be "supportive as a man" but just doesn't cut it totally, if you know what I mean. So glad you had a lovely time with the trio, you will have to count down the days till they next come up :)

    Well I certainly didn't find any more get up and go, in fact I think mine must have gone on its hols as I had a lovely little snooze about 4ish - most upset as I was watching Stargate on Sky and missed the end of the first programme :( Dinner is in the oven, I cheated and shoved some chips and some frozen potatoe thingies in the oven with the sausages - I really didn't feel up to peeling spuds etc. I've also got some frozen steam veggies in the freezer which you only have to microwave so DH can have those too.

    Decluttering wise I threw away a black bin bag, some paper and err the dog helped to empty the cat tray for me, disgusting dog!!! DDog Scruffy is improving considerably, his cough is so much better with this honey, he is also doing his normal stupid things like mouse chasing which he hasn't been doing for the past couple of days.

    WooHoo bath is now out.:j:j Now to let the floor dry out. I'm so excited that the bathroom is gonna be done and finished in 2 weeks.:D

    WM, TD and DW on. Our room has had a binbag dance and looks so much better for it. Need to get kiddies to bed and start wrapping 15 ebay parcels.:eek:

    LL send my love to Diva, i hope it goes very smoothly tomorrow.

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    I've been schlepping about and coughing like a trooper all afternoon. I am extremely croaky and hoarse which appears to amusing the dog because I can't shout at her as normal.

    LL - please send my speedy get well soon vibes to Diva xxx

    Dusty - hope DS's arm settles down soon. I know when I broke my elbow, the first 6 days seem to be the worst - it's when everything will cramp up at the slightest movement. But it WILL get better. Sending him some interesting PS games that his mother wouldn't approve of ;)

    Rosep - glad you're feeling a bit chirpier

    :j:j:jList is done:j:j:j
    Whats that? three in a row now? Visitors were here until about 5-mayhem is an understatement. The next door nieghbours little girl wanted to come play too so we had the 5 of them-three three year olds and two seven year olds-but, they played in the garden and the house is still lovely. And it was a lovely visit. Just have entrance and DS bedroom and then thats the whole house "organised" and I can concentrate on dailies and decluttering. My one friend was so impressed she borrowed my KIm and Aggie book and wants to read sink reflections when Im done :T Right, Im going to catch up on the thread and then put away the last few bits of this mornings washing before bed.
