Morning!
Been AWOL since Monday as I've had loads of work on a feeling a bit carp. My wisdom teeth are moving and it gives me headaches, sore throat, earache and of course sore gums, but the ibuprofen seems to be working and we're at the dentist for a check up today so it'll be OK.
DD1 is off school on an inset days so I think I'll do a bit of baking and a bit of flying this afternoon while DD2 is at nursery.
Not read the thread but saw LadyL had had her scan on FB so fingers crossed for the results for you. xxx
Had an early morning run so I'll do a route planner and see how far it was then eat my porridge and banana and go for a shower.
Soappie....hugs...hopefully no news is good news???
See you all later.

I've just been going through your daily to do list and its fab so im going to try and keep up with you all from now on. But can i ask a really stupid question. One of the things states to vacumme the stairs starting at the bottom can ask why the bottom? I ask as i was always taught to start at the top and work down this goes for general cleaning of the house too start upstairs and work down and out of the house if you see what i mean :-)
actually.. we don't care where you start so long as they are ALL vacuumed.. I usually start mine at the top because I do the bedroom then the landing then down the stairs and do the hallway.. So on the list it mentions the bottom but it is only so people are not leaving the bottom 4 stairs with the excuse the cable wasn't long enough.
Now stop pondering the small things and go vauum them.. Nice to see you slumming it over here xx
Lemanie.. this was only the 7th trip to A&E we have ever had.. though I did once have 2 there on the same day (DS1 and DD1) and one there the day after! (DS2).. tiddles has been once as has Moomin and DD2 went once too, DS3 stopped breathing when he was new.. oh.. we had to take DS1 when he put his hand through the window too.. so this was the 8th time.. not bad really. What we lack in A&E visits we make up for in appointments lol Noone has ever broken anything.. we have been with head bumps/loss of consciousness, cuts and burns.
And so you all think I am obsessed... the last 2 nights I dreamed you did a poll over who you wanted to run the thread and you picked.. gratefulforhelp.. so I was all upset noone liked me..
Today I WILL finish the infernal painting!!!!!!!!!!!
I need clean bedding for the sofabed for OHs sister tomorrow..LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0
