OK - almost human again :T

I went up to Liverpool on Wednesday to do a fairly simple job and was absolutely knocked sideways by it...spent most of Thursday asleep as a result. Boss is being marvellous (having suffered something very similar himself recently he understands!). I am officially working from home today and have done quite a lot of work both last night and this morning.

So - time for what's left of my lists : (I'm giving myself cheerleaders, hope no-one minds!). I'm determined to get the rest of this done - got a special guest for dinner on Sunday.

Morning (just!)

Got a lie-in this morning, but now got about a hundred gazillion things to do - making birthday cake is top of list.

With A&E - my parents only had to take me and my brother twice - I was 4 and our dog bit my face, then when he has three a rabbit (!) bit the end of his finger off. We did cheat a bit though, when I had a possible fracture and when brother had possible appendicitis mum (GP) just took us straight to the right bit.

I've just caught up on 11 pages of the thread, and most of it has gone straight out of my head again, so hugs for everyone who needs them - here's to a relaxing weekend!

Right.. lazy lot.. HHC 12:15-12:45????????????

Mumto5

Mummyyof5 - Successful surgery vibes for your brother
Diva - Glad you managed to keep some food down
Jinky - Sorry you're feel carp (((Hugs)))
Pigpen - we've had 3 lots of stitches (2 x heads and one back) and have always been told to keep them dry.
Mags_cat - Sounds like you've had a rotten time. Hope you feel better soon.

My ankle was on fire when I woke up this morning. I have rubbed in loads of anti histamine and taken tablets and the swelling has subsided. There is a dull itch now that I am trying very hard to ignore. My ankle is purple. I have a 40th party tonight and I'm agonising about what I'm going to wear. I never wear trousers to go out and only own one reasonable pair which are definately not suitable for this time of year (heavy wool). At this rate I will spend more time putting heavy duty foundation on my foot rather than my face!

Took DD2 swimming and came back to s/s the kitchen, loaded DW. The big uns have mucked out their bedrooms so I have mountains of washing to get stuck into. Oh what joy!

Going to tackle todays list and also have to give the bathroom some attention as DD1 is bringing 2 friends back to get ready for the prom. She got a dress yesterday at lakeside and looks lovely in it.

Hello everyone
it was morning when i started this - but i decided to go and do a few things before i caught up properly - its so easy to spend loads of time on here - well it is for me - I am easily sidetracked.
It was looking as if it was going to be a cracking day but has got a bit overcast now.

Mumto5 hope the ankle is feeling better today.(((hugs))) for a speedy recovery.
Jinky (((hugs))) hope you are feeling a bit brighter today - let all the emotions out -its far better than bottling them up xx
Diva oooh thanks honey - I will be watching for the postie now! its good to see you are manageing to keep foos down now - hope its not long ebfore you are back on track and with the sleeping too.
xmaslolly76 welcome to the madhouse - hope you get things under control soon - the lists are only a guide - do things whatever way you find suits you best. (((hugs))) for DD1 and her aches - hope she doesnt have too hard a time with it. poor love.
helen jelly (((hugs))) hope you get a better sleep tonight - hopefully you will be sooooooooo tired that you will sleep right through
soappie as the others have said -no news could be good news - will keep everything crossed that its still going to be your job
Aunty Crafty :hello: thats some list:eek: but I am sure it wont take you too long to do it - you probably dont make a lot of mess when its just you.
pigpen hope you get the painting finished - when my brother gashed his head last year it was a couple of days before he could wash the dried stuff off and like the others have said the bruising comes out and it can be very tender.
:rotfl: at your dream - of course we love you :rotfl:
mummyyof5 (((hugs))) and prayers for your DB that the op is succesful and doesnt need to be done again. try to keep busy honey xx
carol good luck with the cake making - hope the birthday boy has a great day tomorrow and you have a lovely weekend - love & hugs as always xx
GRaaaaaaaaaaaaann!:hello: thanks for the super photo angel - thinking of you all xx
I need to go find a list
Wm is on and most of the dailies are done.
Havent had a cleaner this week so I need to try and do a bit more myself - and I have a friend from the church coming at 2.30.

Hope everytbody has a lovely Bank Holiday weekend and if you are going away - stay safe and have fun.

Afternoon all

Not enough washing for a load today, just as well because it keeps raining on and off.

I've polished in the living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

Bleached ALL my mugs and washed them after and cleaned the cupboard before putting them back. Look like new I'd still like new though.....

Sorted out my "money book" with today's wages and taken off May's expenses and still in credit Got to get tablets and stuff for the dog tomorrow though...

Hope everyone's OK.

Triker.. I see you lurking!.. how is Mr T's finger.. did he get it sorted? hope your day has been less stressful than the last several this week!

Hiya hun, apologies not posting....been feeling dreadful, really bad....hoping its a virus and not a relapse.:(
Just about managed at work but had to leave early and rest.

Poor DS2 hope his multicoloured head is ok now, brave lad.

Off for a catch up.

I've done no flying....apologies, too wrecked.:o

ETA...hubby's finger is still slightly swollen, good job we had the ring cut off when we did, he's still very unhappy about not having his wedding ring on...daft sod...we'll get him another one soonish, I've seen one's with invisible hinges, think he'll have to get one of them as his knuckles are too swollen for an ordinary ring to fit over. Thanks for asking hun. xx
