valli - GC81 has an avatar you may like!;)

sexymouse - Congratulations! I'm thrilled to bits for you! (And enjoy the supply - maybe I'll get a call too tomorrow??)

Lady_Liberty, love and huge hugs.

Have only decluttered six lesson plans today. I was gently reprimanding some of my Year 8's (okay, truthfully, I was being a bit shrill...) when the Head popped in unannounced with a parent and two kids who were getting a tour. Talk about bad timing. When they hastily backed out, the class were all staring at me, frozen, with huge eyes - and I just laughed and promised them that if I got into trouble for it, oh boy were they going to regret it! At least he can truthfully say that we care about discipline. They worked really nicely after that.:D

I'll be flying tomorrow if I'm not working.

Lady L-sorry to hear about your friend. Difficult in any circumstance.

Sexymouse- great news on the work front.

Mumto5- I have a car seat (one of the forward facing/rear facing ones) if you want it. Although has been in my summerhouse for a while. Don't know if you come down lakeside/basildon way at all? To be expected that you will have good days and not so good days.

Flying-haven't really done much today although my plans were there. Have dong some WM/DW and made lasagne. Living room isn't too bad so may do that when DD is at nursery. Will see what Pigpen has for us tomorrow

Thanks to all those help with the posts . They know who they are . even if I don't

I cant keep up with you all today, so will just update on my doings for today and add in what I can remember.
Pigpen thank you for tomorrows list :A I completed my list today, so basically levels one and two of monsters room and kitchen. :j I just couldnt handle DS' room anymore, carted out two crates of rubbish to the outside bin and have a box of toys that will be suitable for Q eventually, so will have DH put them in the garage on Saturday. Also a crate of baby bottles and various weaning paraphernalia minus various important bits. Will put them aside until I can get into the cupboard under the stairs, as Im certain there's a bag I "decluttered" months ago thinking the same thing (the halves will surface). Q is being a space hog-attacking both my ribs and bladder simultaneously, so I foresee another night sleeping upright tonight

Tuesday ~ Master bedroom and landing!
Level One
Declutter the floor!!
Strip bedding, wash and replace.. air the duvet while it is naked!
Level Two
Tidy up a chest of drawers.. fling anything that is unloved.
Vacuum floors!
Clear a box of stuff.. put it in its proper homes or get rid!
Level Three
Empty bins and do a mad 5 minutes filling the binbag!
Polish any mirrors or glass.. inc. dirty windows!
Wash any nets/curtains that are in need!
Extras

1. 15 minutes filing/shredding
2. Catch up with an old friend/relative you've not spoken to in a while
3. Tidy up the linen cupboard.. throw away anything unused/past its best
4. HHZ(onework) (I've discovered that Im enjoying "Kelly's zonework" on the flylady website, she only asks for 15 minutes zonework a day and stays in one zone all week. This weeks zone is the main bedroom, so falls in line with Pigpens list wonderfully)

It is beautiful ..... don't you dare say otherwise are you going into the card making business now Take care, that sounds a scary episode at lunch time....hope you managed to get a nap xx



Thanks .... yes, that is her, she lived in Canada, because our illness is so rare we met on a support group, both the same age, her DD is the same age as my DS ... we immediately became close friends .... it was her wicked sense of humour that kept both of us going at times, we supported each other so much & vowed we wouldn't let this thing beat us, now she is gone .... she was a wonderful lady ... I last heard from her on my birthday just a couple of days ago......she was still making me laugh then even tho she said she was feeling !!!!!!, so that is how I will remember her :A

xx

LadyL what a lovely memory to have of your friend ((((hugs))) and loads of love and admiration for you xx

No, I haven't hit him. He is being very good at present.:D
He has hurt his leg going up and down the ladder, the doctor thinks. He has a swelling on his shin bone area and it is really painfull to walk.

Good news today is that DS2 has his job back after being laid off last month. Thats brilliant news - what a relief for him and you i am sure

toost I hope you are okay after the lunchtime incident. It happens to me sometimes too. Last night was the last time, I know how frightening it is. At least I usually have someone here with me. It must be really frightening for you and tiring too.

My DH is so understanding he just tells me I am supposed to swallow my food not inhale.love it - yes thats my problem too:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I am soon to be a seafarer's mum ...............................

pooh I hope DH's leg gets better quickly. who is going to sea and what to do? a bottle of rum should be top of the list i expect:p

didnt get a nap as a certain person kept phoning me!! anyway I am ok and my throat is a bit better - i managed sweet and sour chicken and rice for tea as well!

right off to do the stars and then finish the decluttering I was doing ib the hall.

froddington

Thank you all for your kind words :A Belfast was fab but it's a relief to have got home as the bargain holiday has now cost double!

I realise that I am lucky to have been able to get back but I really don't like ferries especially when the only seats are in the bar! I have to thank my bargain 89p travel pillow for making the journey on ferry and coach bearable!

I have been and rescued my car and then slept for most of the afternoon. I have done virtually nothing ready for school tomorrow but, if they want me there in a fit state to work, they'll have to wait for the planning! I am still very tired Our Head is in Australia but not heard if any others are stranded.
