Morning lovely flyladies,

Moggins - come back and post soon.
Toots -
Jinkypinks -
LadyL - Lots of positive vibes for you for again today. Will be holding your hand tightly. Btw, it was you being grumpy, :rotfl:I sent a perfectly normal sarcastic text...
Psykicpup - Call me Diva, it's easier!
Natty - :wave: Feel free to pm if you ever want to.
Rosepink -
frugalzzz - If you need help decluttering those jars of honey, I know a nice little pantry in Devon where one could live!! :rotfl:I have told my OH that as soon as I am back in full health in a year or so, we are definitely keeping bees!
AnWs - 'Miss scattercash' made me smile, I call myself 'Mrs Splattercash' when I am being someone generous with the spending..
Gunsandbanjos - big to you honey
Soappie - continued positive vibes though I am sure you won't need them.

Managed two slices of toast and a scrambled egg yesterday without being ill, but I did get a flashy lights migraine which was horrible. Having a lot of them lately and not sure if its cos of the being sick or 'cos I am tired or just not eating enough. Anyway, today I am going to make corned beef hash (stomach permitting) so I can have a small amount and my OH doesn't have to pull something else out of the freezer for himself.

Love to all and hope everyone has a good day. With love, light and

Morning!!!!!!!

Well i'm up and going to make a cuppa and finish sorting out the bedrooms, sow some seeds, fix DS's beanbag, and generally stay in the house and be ill.
Watch me end up being called to do something ah well.

Right going for a cuppa x

Morning all

Ended up going to bed about 9.30 last night and slept like a babe. Am all snotsville this morning though. I think it's probably hayfever. There's so much dust about at the moment we really need a good sharp shower to damp it all down. We may get some rain today apparantly.

Right off to bathe and then do the work thing

Morning all,

Well my full day of supply today was cancelled last night. grr! That is the second booking this week that has been cancelled!

However, it does leave me free to be there for LadyL if she needs or wants me?

Put a couple of loads of washing away yesterday before I left for the afternoon supply, but haven't changed the sheets yet as that was only done on Sunday.

I must do the bathroom, as I noticed yesterday when I was having my shower, that Moon had carved his initial into the limescale on the taps in the bath - obviously testing to see how easy it was to get off!

Hugs to all who need or want them - I'm glad you've managed to eat a little bit Diva. Fingers crossed you can stomach some more today. Make sure you keep your fluid levels up - the migraine could be caused by dehydration.

Off to get dressed.

Morning all

Up, showered and dressed but not enough time to do the lisitings without rushing and making myself late.

A laptop is more energy efficient, and more flexible. I use mine on a stand, and have a 'proper' keyboard and mouse attached to it

I suggest the first thing you do is get yourself an external hard drive (or ipod!) and transfer all the data that you want to keep over to it. You'll need it anyway if you get a new laptop. That way you can do a clean install which will resolve things, and then put all the crap back, so keeping the stuff that you have an emotional attachment to, but taking some of the strain off the poor old PC. It's not silly to feel like that, but it is silly to make your own life harder because of it. I'm sure DH wouldn't want you to (thinking of the incident with the christmas lights, you'd better be careful, as if you don't sort it out soon he might do it for you, and if you don't have a backup it might be very inconvenient!)

Very wise words thanks I already have an external HD attached, which I had for Christmas from Mum and Dad in anticipation of a change over at some point. I am very impressed that you remembered about the train lights But how late were you up again :eek:

Diva glad you are managing to keep something down, I hope the rest of your symptoms settle soon.

Will be thinking of you today LL

Have a good day all, later gators x

Not as late as kazw :p The late wouldn't be a problem if I didn't keep having to get up early... sleep deprivation has kicked in this morning. 45 minutes till my first client and I really don't want to talk to them! I con't think I can have a proper lie-in till Monday either...

Make sure you keep everything backed up... just in case you do have to go out and replace the PC in a hurry!

Hope today goes better for L-L and Diva. And that toots behaves herself...:p

Cold and miserable here soappie will be pleased about the damp at least, and I guess it means I don't have to water the lawn.

Better go and make some breakfast and then prep for this client...

lemanie

Morning all,

Continued thoughts and prayers for Lady-L, GnB (and her LO) and any other poorlies. Glad you ate something Diva, keep on. Positive thoughts for Soappie and everyone else in their individual endeavours and 'don't be discouraged by anyone else's activity levels' to all newcomers; little and often...

hope all the poorlies feel a huge amount better tomorrow (I wonder how lemanie got on)

Thanks for your concern, yesterday went smoothly and the Consultant and her student were super lovely. Finally a diagnosis and someone who understood, the relief. I agreed to the genetic tests and have other things to put in to place with various consultants here, but that should be easier now, before going to see her again in 6 months.

I think I may be able to concentrate today so am hoping to do lotsa work and lotsa flying and I will report back on my activities much later.

PS - Toots, I went in our Polish shop last week and spoke to 2 very friendly ladies about the fizzy drink you were hankering after. I hope you found it elsewhere and have scratched that itch because they didn't have it. On the plus side, I did buy some interesting food stuffs but fear I may not be able to go back, or if I do, I may have the name 'crazy fizzy stuff lady' in Polish
