    Morning dribblers,
    I am feeling amazing this morning 11 hours sleep and I am back in the game:

    Hi Purpleroses ***waves*** welcome!

    Mummy&P – I am such a hoarder I am happy that the inboxes aren’t bigger, I have over 2000 + emails saved in my yahoo account. I just can’t let go of things so I am happy to have to be told to get rid of stuff! Hope that DD is better today!

    Nixi – don’t worry about the stuff like I said before Mum first, business second! But, I will remember to send you that PM this morning I was running on empty yesterday.

    Em – My time management isn’t great but it got a whole load better because of a time management book that I read called do it tomorrow. Also, I have another book that I can send you I can PM it if you want.
    Do it tomorrow recommended having a to do list with a difference, I have a page in my notebook and have it divided into four headers. My headings in my notebook are Graphic, General, Email, and Phone. Psychologically it help as seeing a list of 4 items is better than seeing a mega to do list of 16 – 20 items. Also, I give myself a reward for completing task so it might be chocolate (bit too much of that lately though, a magazine, or a M&S meal as they are my fave personal luxury). Anyhoo, I can send the book to you it helped me a lot!!!


    Mabel – googley eyes no! lol! I feel like I was being watched… for comedy value excellent!

    Cally – don’t go! I have a habitual line stepper in that department. But, I love your input – we do go off tangent but I would really miss you posting here! Don’t go!!!


    Handy link - I found a very handy website called http://www.fiverr.com/ - if you have something simple that you can do that you think is worth a fiver you can charge others for it. E.g resizing an image, correcting a paragraph, retweeting. It is completely up to you. But, I think as an idea it is a good one!!!!

    MummyP - Thank you! I have been amazed at my dads recovery so far, but he is still having trouble with communication and processing information - everything is ok until he has to think!! If he is having the headaches, with his hstory, it might be worth getting him checked out - ooo, did I see you had Drs on your list??? Ignore me!! Hope all is ok. xx

    lol Mambury-looks like theres an epidemic!

    my personal favourite:-
    Me-whats for dinner
    Him-whatever you're cooking
    Me-that will be nothing on no toast then
    Him- sulks

    Me and my wife now have an actual agreement - she does all of the cooking for fear of her life!

    Last time i cooked, we both ended up in hospital with suspected food poisoning and she didnt speak to me for a week!

  • Nixi - you are welcome, I had thought about mentioning it before, but I didn't want to offend you as your Dads was obviously worse than the OHs. Glad he is getting there, one thing at a time is the way that everything works. There will be some things that never quite get back to the way they were, but it will all come in time. When you think that it takes children, who have a natural ability to learn fast, 2-3 years to learn the basics of life, it does make you think about us as adults. It will take time, but the majority of it will return to normal over the next few months. And yes, Drs is on the list for that very reason!

    Dilli - I am uber jealous of the sleep, lucky if i manage 6-7 hours a night! DD is back to normal trashing the house now, panicing mother as always!
