I woke up with a headache today too, not a migraine but bad enough. It's still niggling. I hope it will be gone tomorrow!

Hiya,
Have carted laptop to bed as husband watching football. Completely gutted our bedroom today, changed bed, turned mattress etc. 2 bags for the dump and 3 for charity. Loads of magazines hoping to off load to friends etc. Have nothing under bed or on floor apart from essential furniture, but it has just about killed me! Can't face doing our spare room tomorrow, it is a complete dumping ground so will do kids rooms instead. Feel good about it have managed to do something everyday this week, although it is only wednesday, tee hee.

Well done :T:T:T

But it's important not to burn yourself out at the start. Just try for level ones for a couple of weeks. It WILL get easier as it goes on xxx

Hi all,

I've had a very entertaining evening playing pictionary with OH and the boys. Ds2 didn't really get it bless him even when he was being given loads of clues.:cool: The chair covers came up pretty good after a wash but were a pain to get back on, i can see why it was sold as needing a wash.

Primed towel rail
Folded & brought washing in
Put rabbits to bed
Tidied living room with Ds2's help

I've (or rather the dog!) has just realised I have a bit of a voice back! Hurrah! She went out to bark at something in the garden and I shouted at her to shutup because she'd wake NN and lo, there was sound rather than a croak!

Not a full octaves worth yet, but MUCH better than it was

Why do they always have to wear TWO pairs of shorts these days? Whatever happened to a decent pair of underpants?

Helloo

I still havent managed to catch up on the thread but I did notice i seem to have come on in the middle of a chat about signing passports - well thats amazing because................................... you may remember I had on my list 'get a passport' - I had the form and the photos but needed someone to sign them so i thought Doctor and asked the DN today if she could take them for me - doctor doesnt do it anymore:( I dont know anybody that can do it that I have known for 2 years!!!!!!:(

I have had a busyish day - went to town and did my bits of shopping - finished sorting through the photos my Mum brought on Friday - put all the different categories in yellow envelopes (thanks Greenbee!) scanned the ones i wanted - had lunch - DN came and we did what was necessary - Mother came - went over some of the photos and did some stuff on tt'internet - hauled out all the magazines I had in the cupboard (was on Dusty's list as 200 +) but is actually only 108 been put on freegle and if not taken will go in the next paper bin!!!! Have also done 1 x WM and had and made some phone calls.

Tomorrow I intend to catch up on thread as i feel out of the loop and deal with some emails - cleaner will be in after lunch so will get the place tidied up then - it doesnt need a lot as the SW's tidied up and took out my rechargeable ewbank and did the carpets!!!

Need to check with my listSSSS! what else needs to be done! but I am taking this week fairly easily to recover.

going to toddle off to bed now.

get well vibes for all the poorlies - especially Dusty's DS

Diva honey thinking of you and hoping the op was a success and your back with us soon - healing vibes xx

LadyL special big hugs for you for everything you tried to do and all those spoons you used! xxx
night night all

love and hugs to everyone
toots xx
