    Not sure how this week will pan out flying-wise. Whenever I feel tired or unwell, flying is the first thing to give way. And this week I've got a sore throat which is making everything seem more difficult than it is :(.

    Still, this is the first week of being legally responsible for educating DS1 (at home)! Very exciting :j.

    Monday - Sitting Room and Hallway
    Level Two
    Vacuum under any furniture you can.. please don't injure yourselves!
    Level Three
    Check those smoke alarms!
    Wipe sofas, paintwork and dusty places
    HHC in the hallway.. vacuum floors/stairs, wipe paintwork, fling those broken umbrellas and junk mail!

    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!

    *H* Wise words by Dorastar. I find tossing a coin useful. If you toss a coin and you are unhappy with the outcome then you know what decision to make IYSWIM. I must be the worst person to ask though as I dropped out of two degree courses. With the benefit of hindsight I have no regrets and I did go on to do an MSc in something that I am actually interested in. With my sensible head on I say struggle through if you can and get the credits, but if it is depressing you then walk away. Best of luck with whatever you decide.

    TD, WM and DW on. Uniforms and packed lunches sorted. Cup of tea made so I am sloping off for a long bath with a Georgette Heyer.

I am glad DS2's first day wasnt a total disaster and once he gets into the routine of it I hope he will be fine and enjoy it.
    Diva awh more (((hugs))) - I hope they have given you something for the nausea and sickness? could you not sit out for just a little while - the fresh air would be good for you - or are you confined to bed?
    Carol22 excuse me little miss - did anyone give you permission to be superstressed this week??????????????????? for starters get a timetable worked out for the revision for the exams - it maybe a little while yet but try to work out what you need to do. As for next week, I can just hear your dad saying STOP right now - he most certainly would not be happy seeing you get all upset and in a state! I know its hard angel but you have to remember he is in your heart always ( and now on your body somewhere shake.gif) and if you speak to him in your heart these anniversaries wont hurt the same. and what else is stressing you my little flower - you never told me how the marathon walk went - have your feet recovered? You know where I am xxxxxxxx

    GC81 good luck with the decorating - getting nearer to moving in as well - how exciting for you all.
    mummyyof5 honey that doesnt sound too good -it def needs checking into - keep on at the docs for an appointment please honey.
    *H* i would do the exams - you have come this far and you may suprise yourself - then you can decide what to do after that. great advice from Dorastar

    boddy (((hugs))) xx
    msgnomey hugs for you, DD and DH - hope his BD runs away soon
    piggers - hows the aches today - are you feeling easier?
    LameWolf 5.gif hope you have had a brilliant day xx


    had a really good day at Cornhill today - we made tea-bread, truffles, I did some of a jigsaw, there was a magician, and I had reiki.

    thanks for all your lovely posts - i am ok today regards my throat - my blooming tube site has played up today instead - it appears to have an infection which could be why the entry to the stomach isnt healing - a real nuisance - we will have to wait and see the results of a swab.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
