Mumto5 well done on dealing with the crisis at your house so well, and calling the ambulance and everything. Have you heard anything? Is the boy ok?

Rose "hugs" sweetie - are you starting to feel semi human again? Hopefully the weather will help - I know it does me I am going to start giving myself a little treat at weekends if I can go a whole week without self harming, maybe you could do something similar. If you have 3 or 4 days of feeling perky and then perhaps allow yourself a duvet day or something like that - does that make sense?

Yeah, gradually coping a bit better, thanks for asking. A duvet day sounds wonderful! What a good idea to have a treat if you have a good week, well done you! I think that's a brilliant idea. I had a long talk with a friend last night, and she made some good suggestions about having a proper schedule (I've tried but forget to read it, so need to work on this more) and scheduling in relaxing time each day as at the moment I'm working from when I get up til I go to bed, apart from a few breaks to fly or sleep or eat. It's not good, or balanced. I need to be more balanced really.

good morning to the domestic goddesses!

What about me? Why didn't you say hello to me? LOL. Hope your back is better soon and have a fun night out x

I'm taking the day off today to fly - have a few jobs I've been wanting to do for ages so am going to tackle those. Going to pull out the cooker and clean behind it, and if that doesn't kill me, I will clean the window frames, or at least clear all window sills so DH and I can clean the window frames over the weekend. We have a flat inspection next week and it would be good to have them done before that.

So, I'm going to do the cooker now, send in a mountian rescue team if I'm not back by 1!

Oh and I washed up while supernanny was on. Does anyone else find that supernanny makes them want to clean? I don't know why, I think it's her get up and get on with it attitude!

Me too. I have been thinking about a greenhouse for last three years. Well, thinking about it vaguely before, but more seriously since I retired.
But there are only so many pennies in the purse

I got mine off ebay £35 I think, and another £35 or so for replacement glass it needed. Brand new ones are £400+ :eek: way out of my price range.

Kept looking on ebay for about 8 weeks in total, to find one within 30 miles of me, then had to bid, collect and dismantel, clean & reassemble once back home with it, took about 6 hours to take apart, and about 1 day to put back together, took lots of photos before we started in the other persons garden, with out those we would have been lost.

Joiner arrived here last night and put the glass in, it looks really well except he has put 2 in wrong. Completely gutted last night as we didn't notice until he was gone. So i'll have to give him a ring later.:(
Tiler here at minute and we'll be without a toilet for 2 days.:eek: Thank goodness MIL's is only down the lane.:rotfl:

DW on and WM, kitchen looking alot better now.

newlywed

Morning all. Sun is shining but there's black clouds in my head today. Trying to motivate myself. So far I have had a bath, some toast, two cuppas and unpacked the dishwasher.

Hmmm. Must do something for half an hour I think.....

It was me :wave:

Thanks for posting - it will come in very handy, although now I have a few more household items to buy

YIPPEE! The doorbell just rang and my EasiYo yoghurt maker has arrived!!! I have already decluttered the box into recycling

HHI done, some toast now before work.

Well done to Boddy on the weight loss, I gained one and a half pounds so need to crack on this week.....
