    Therefore, with the approval of MSE Board Guides, I'm firmly asking that we do not mention xxxxx again until such times as we have proper evidence as to her plight. If anyone has any issues with this, then please feel free to PM me for more info.

    In the meantime, I'm wishing L-L and Diva the bestest of bestest healing vibes in all the world

    I just wanted to say - hugs to everyone that was 'at the coal face' as it were.. passing on messages etc. You know who you are, and your generosity of spirit is inspiring

    I've walked 5 miles this evening, and now it appears to be time to get my gym kit packed up ready for the morning... what with eating, cleaning and exercising I have no idea when I'm going to have time for anything else! :D

    Give up sleeping??

    Seriously though it is hard to get the balance right - I swing between too much work (paid and voluntary stuff) or too much house/garden/allotment - so if anyone can tell me how to find the middle way?

    We've enjoyed the sunshine today, lots of laundry, and trips to the tip with the recycling, hoovered through - so house looking better and hopefully so am I from the fresh air.

    Flying this way in my own fashion - school holidays and a few other bits on mean lists are not practicable this week. Will bumble on from time to time and repost what I do manage to do.

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Give up sleeping??
    I would... apart from the fact that I generally only sleep for 6 hours a night and have been told that I should sleep more (the clinching argument being that people who sleep less than 8 hours a night weigh more than those who sleep more... my theory is that there is less time for eating!).

    I may have to give up fiddling about on the internet when I should be doing other things. :o:o

    And on that note, I think I'll go an drink wine, eat chocolate and read a book in the bath :D:p:p

    No point in posting my list as I've not got much to cross off it! I got home from work at 6.30pm, vacuumed the stairs, cleared the lounge floor then ate my tea and my mum dropped the girls off. Girls deposited into bed then I did an hour of ironing while watching Holby City. Now I'm crying buckets over that Great Ormond Street Hospital programme.

    The kitten's got her second lot of injections tomorrow morning so I'll have to get a bit done tomorrow afternoon.

    I have however roped DH into doing the kitchen. Think I'll start asking him to do a bit more of the cleaning. He's quite good with doing a bit of washing and drying and throwing the pots at the DW but doesn't really get involved with the actual cleaning on a regular basis. So I've asked him to wipe the surfaces, cupboard fronts and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. He's busy in there right now. Think I might reward him after!!;);):p Need to keep his motivation up! LOL

    Positive op vibes for Diva...she's always thinking of everyone else so she deserves some vibes of her own. Lady L...please let her know I'm thinking of her. Take care of yourself too hun, don't take too much on.

    Sounds like you had a brilliant weekend Toots and AnW's mum and A and W. Glad you all enjoyed yourselfs.

    Hugs hugs Natty....try not to worry too much...(I'm sure you will anyway) but be sure to offload on us lot won't you. x

    Am shattered tonight so I'm logging off now so I can take the ironing upstairs and get sorted for an early night.

    See you tomorrow fellow flyers! xxx

    Well I had soo much planned for today and ended up being called in to work (that's what comes of being a key holder grr) Eon needed to get in to dig up a fault thingy on the playing field, still I took the chance while I was there to do some tidying and sorting so have thrown out some gibble and had a good general clean up, also carted lots of stuff home to do too, I will be very good and do the stuff I brought home and not just cart it back again in a week :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    on the flying front I finished the edge of the lawn, did some laundry and walked into town to pay in some cheques
    will catch up on today's list tomorrow IYSWIM:rotfl::rotfl:

    on the Munchausen front I once knew a guy at church (in his 20s) who had everyone convinced he had bone cancer when there was nothing wrong (well physically) he was such a lovely guy to xxx
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Darn AnW's mum - I thought I was cool and hip with the MbyI phrase. You have to go and top it with New Zealand slang! ~Huff~. Must be the influence of those SW's of yours ;)

    :(

    Sorry not read the thread yet. Just got back from the hospital. DS3 fell this morning and has broken his arm (just above the elbow) really badly. He has had a two and a half hour op to wire it back together and now been transferred to stay the night at another hospital (ours doesn't have overnight paeds).

    He has been such a star through such pain. DH is staying the night with him and I'll go back over early in the morning.

    Hugs to all who need them x

    Dusty, hugs for you and the boys :A Did DS3 break his arm skiing this year?

    I too am now feeling drained. There are several of you that I'd like to PM, so that'll be a task for tomorrow.

    I do think it's worth saying that mental illness can be just as debilitating as physical illness :( But anyone who needs a lift just needs to ask for it from the Flyladies - no reason needed - Flylaides are here for everyone :A

    I know it's a Schoolnight, but anyone who wants to join me in a glass of something red (I may be able to find you a warm white, soappie :p ) I've just restocked, so there's plenty :beer:

    Penny. x
