Off to make my chilli now and when its in the slow cooker will hang out washing and decide next steps.
just wanted to say hugs to bunglegirl. Don't try and go overboard, just do what you can. What he thinks of your home surely matters much less now.working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -
Did anyone see the tory last night blaming the media for the protestors outside No 10? He was adamant that it wasn't because Cameron is chief KH. :rotfl:It was Hassletine. Hysterical :rotfl:
Time to find me a list (does anyone else always sing the song from Pirates of Penzance about having a little list? Just me? ... okay then
)
No, sorry, I don't like Metallica albums
Now this is interesting, let us know how you get on with it?Read some more body clutter book (it gets you to dig deep as to why you don't like yourself and what childhood memories you have connected with your comfort food and why you eat when upset - I never got beyond chapter 3 last time as I wasn't ready to deal with some things).
bungle gigantic hugs, how horrible. But better than living with someone whose heart isn't in it, I guess? Sorry, not sure what the right thing is to say.
Off to unload wm.
Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -

Hugs Bunglegirl...good to hear you sounding so positive (even if it is probably forced at the moment). xxx
Hippy...thanks for the PM....will message you back in a bit. x
Need to get everyone's bedding in the WM in a minute then tackle the lounge. My sister is coming round tonight at some point so would like it tidy. It's not too bad, more the toys that need picking up and the floor is desperate for a vacuum.
My foot is much better today so I'm hoping I can still do the 10K on Sunday. Just going to keep resting it where possible. Went to the doctors last night and she said it was probably a repetitive strain type injury. So I'm hoping that it'll be ok as I'm supposed to be doing the Great North run in September and that'll mean running much more often and much further.
Off to throw DD2 in bed then get on.0 -

DD now back at school and glasses all fixed and lifted. Hubby now making something to eat and then i'll sort the bathroom ceiling. I think i'll PVA it first as there is alot of dark marks. Then i'll PVA the utility room because it's purple and i'm changing it to a lovely yellow, plus the new plaster needs covered anyway.
Bunglegirl big hugs.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0
