Mummyof5 - get to the docs, they might tell you it is nothing, but just in case, it would be better to know. Hope you are feeling ok now though.
*H* - you have spent all year studying and working for the exam, give it a go, you never know you might suprise yourself. Plus, if it is something like the OU, then you can change your course, the first year, as long as you get the points, then you can transfer them to go towards a different course, setting you in good stead for a better final result on the new course. Might be talking carp if you are not doing OU style course though!turn £100 into £10000 in 2010 member #16 £567.68/£10,000 -I'm a wiggly worm, I'm a wiggly worm, how do you do, I love you, I'm wiggly worm!0 -

polka is that your list or today's official list? Let me know and I'll give you a star
Ummm...bothI promise, Im sitting down now. DH brought home M&S pies, so he's going to put them in the oven with some ASDA chips. While he does that I'm going to have a nice long shower and blow dry my hair-and then jump into my nice clean PJ's:)
Oh but I also remember, I found 4 diaries for 2010-A5 ones. I bought them for christmas pressies but I still haven't seen the intended recipients (some friends huh?) I know we're already half way through the year-but can anyone use one? Would be easy enough to pop in the post.0 -

Happy birthday LW
Congratulations to JennyJewel - I'm so excited about my wedding! I can imagine how you must be feeling, as yours is soon isn't it? I can't wait to go and try on dresses in the bridal shops, even though, I've pretty much decided on the one I put on the last thread (as long as it fits - it's an internet only one so can't try it on in the shop). Ever since I've been little I've looked through the window at people trying them on, and wanted to be in their shoes.
Have just decluttered a phonecall to the travel agents to discuss some of the details about the wedding etc, and arranged to pop in on Saturday after I've talked to my parents on Friday.
I've also spent quite a long time cleaning up and organising paperwork in the classroom I've been in today and yesterday as I'm not back in there until Thursday, so wanted to leave everything organised and tidy.
I've got a stinking headache though today, as the children have been quite noisy, but they're a lot younger than the children I had in my last class, so I need to remember that they're probably not used to working in silence like my last class did. Off to declutter some painkillers before going to MIL's for dinner.
Moon should be home soon, so hopefully he'll make me a nice cup of rooibos tea. I must stop drinking caffeinated drinks at school, as that probably hasn't helped.
Hugs to Mumto5 - hope the funeral isn't too traumatic.
Froddy I hope today went ok back at school and that you're not too worn out. I'm sure they'll be understanding about the planning side of things - at least they have you in school now, so it's not costing them to pay supply teachers.
Glad to see you posting lil_me - haven't seen you around for a while and was beginning to worry you'd left us.
Love the quotes in your 1000th post toots.
Hugs for LadyL, toots, Diva and all of my flylady friends who would like one.

Tuesday ~ Master bedroom and landing!
All done - may I have a star please:j
Toochoosey - you ha ve every right to say what you think - if they don't like it then they should act more fairly IMHO.
Polkadot - what a great idea with the chargers - I have a drawer full too. Could probably throw some out but am frightened that whatever they charge will still be around:o

Hi all
Hope everyone is well? Wishing a happy birthday to anyone celebrating today...and sending hugs to anyone who needs one. Needless to say I haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread today - DD is still off school with D&V. Hoping she will be well soon...

Just tried to make a doctors appointment for next Monday .....to be told it could be cancelled as both our resident doctors are stuck in America:eek::eek:
I am really fed up of feeling ill,dizzy,headache and feeling sick similar to really bad travel sickness. Also feels like Im walking on sponge,as though the floor is rolling...I have to make LO stay in his pram when we go out as I have something to hang on to...its even worse when I walk without support.
I have had the symptoms for a couple of years but it only happened every month or so...now its daily and is really affecting what I can do.....sorry for the moan I know there are lots worse off than me....OH thinks I am stressed but I think it may be more than that.....
Most of list done will post later as on laptop and cant copy and paste on here....
Love to all xx
Try this website - https://www.dizzytimes.com its very informativeI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0
