    Mac hugs hun, you've taken the first step by making the appointment and you are not alone in not wanting to go I for for one hate it and I know other flyladies do too.

    Just having a quick cuppa, dailies almost done and I need to get changed and go to invigilate. See you all at lunchtime.

    I'm pleased to report we now have floor in the living room! It was quite messy in here! And we have a tidy armchair. And I made the bed.
    Next HHC will be floor clearance in the kitchen and bathroom, and possibly bedroom if I have time.
    After that I need to get the hoover out.

    Will do another HHC at 11 - join me if you can!

    How did you get on Choccy, Crafty and PenPen

    Macpep, we will all be holding your hand (and we will have ear plugs so we can't hear what you say to the doctor as it might be private), so don't worry we are all supporting you. The doctor will be kind and understanding I'm sure, they have people going and telling them all kinds of things every day so whatever you have to say it won't be anything they haven't heard before x

    i will be flying all day!

    Tonight is DD2's Year 11 prom - now as of Wednesday night she was leaving at 5.30 (to get lift to mates to pick up limo) and sleeping at a mates afterwards. Great I thought - an evening of peace - I am on antibiotics that are making me feel bleeuch!

    HOWEVER last night that all changed - and tonight 6 of them will be sleeping here! So I'm still feeling bleuch but I have to fly as the house looks like a 'before' from an episode of Kim and Aggie!

    Off to work in a min...and then back to mopping, hoovering and the like.....
