Wishes of wellness to toots, diva and ladylib

Hi all!:)

Thanks all the well wishes yesterday,did me the world of good.I managed not to crash, yay go me. Drove around for about 30 mins without stalling, crashing etc:D but i was so scared it was unreal, luckily the driving instructor was calm and just let me get on with it. got another lesson on Friday morning.

Didn't much done again yesterday as OH kept going in and out so really nothing got done grrr.
Well i've decluttered my brekkie, cuppa, OH and kids are at school/college.
i'm meeting my sister at about 10:30, going to my mind my 2yr old nice while she's at the solicitors. Her KH ex has decided he wants to see the kids. The tosspot has not had any contact with them in over a year, his 2yr old daughter doesn't even know who he is :eek:. I'm fuming, he doesn't pay child maintenance or visit on birthdays/xmas nothing. His new girlfriend threatened to burn the house with my nieces and sister were living in. Its just unreal.
And breathe.....

Okay back with the flying.

Morning all Sorry haven't been able to keep up with all the posts on here.

I've changed the bedding, it's in the washing machine now. Baked some potatoes ready for lunch, put washing away, emptied dishwasher, had a bath and now am assessing what's left on the to do list, whilst having a cuppa.

Have a job interview later, so need to do some ironing, then have to sign on this pm so not sure how much of it I'll get through but have made a good start.

I am really down today, but I really need to wash up today and clear the table so I can do some papier mache - going to be making some things to display my items on at fairs.

Love and hugs to you all, especially those of you dealing with ex's who are being pains.

ETA I keep opening the freezer door to see how nice it is in there, it seems so spacious!

Good morning. I see I have missed another HHC. But very pleased to see that today is the bedroom, I might just go back to bed.

Diva, I hope today is better for you and that you manage to keep your food down.

FFP I hope your husband is better soon. Having had mine in the house for months you have my sympathy:) Much as I love him and his company, him being constantly here was a bit too much.

jet Don't worry about just doing a bit. Every little helps. I have lots of days not doing any flying but the fact that I did a bit maybe a week ago helps to keep on top of it.

LW How are you doing?

toots Don't do too much today:D

DK I will join you with a bit of help from DSs. HHC from 9.50-10.20

I have two at home again. DS2 has been made redundant again, from same company as last time and DS3 is waiting for his ship:(

Oh rose I just read your post, hugs love, you can pm me if that will help.

Morning all,

WM and DW on, beds made, tidied round. Car for MOT later, supposed to be working right now but you are too distracting

Love the bedroom Piggers - wish I was brave enough for patterned wallpaper, (and I knew I had good taste because I've got the same colour as your alcoves in my dining room) looks lovely, well done for all your hard work, especially having seen the before photos :eek:. Where did all the stuff go? Hope the hospital goes ok today.

Special morning greetings for Diva, Lady-L (sorry you are feeling carp) and Toots, and to all poorlies, fed-upies, and generally below par flypeeps.

Welcome to all the newcomers - come on in but don't pull up a chair .

Loving the politics PenPen and CraftyScholar - what do you think of the runners and riders for labour party leader - peanuts or sweetcorn, I think .
