    Afternoon, folks.

    Natty I'll be sending Wolfy vibes your way; also for Mummyyof5 when it's your turn.

    [QUOTE=xx_Jo_xx;32917427]
    Hmmmmm, I did a binbag dance as I was sure it would be on the list and it wasnt :rotfl:........ that will teach me not to check the list first ;):D
    [/QUOTE]
    Ah, but when it does appear on the list, and you can bet your boots it will, you can mark it off as "already done on Tuesday".:D
    thats excellent news LameWolf - P&P 's owners were obviously impressed - try to relax - even if it means taking a day of from flying and do things that give you pleasure - you dont need me to tell you that getting stressed isnt helping the lupus now is it - you will be fine for friday - and this woofy could become a regular too (((hugs)))
    Thank you.:A I do wish I could learn not to live on my nerves; still, Mr LW has Friday off so that we can both get first-hand instruction on Sidney's medication (two injections per day). It's quite a responsibility; but I keep telling myself it can't be that difficult, or he wouldn't be entrusted to us in the first place.:o Pip also has meds, but hers are easy, all taken by mouth, and even the liquid one is viscous enough to wrap in a piece of ham!:D

    I know that they will not give her any info and ask her to go through proper channels but how do I deal with my anger?
    Just my two-pennyworth here - can you transmute the anger into disdain? She is not worth the amount of energy anger takes up, and I'm certain you have better things to use that energy for.:o

    We finished up the last of the kitchen list last night, as I'd said we would. I have the BM on the go for dough for bread rolls at the moment, and need to make a cake this afternoon also (will time it to just put the oven on once). Thankfully today's list looks not too difficult; some is already done, so will press on with that in a few minutes.

    ((((HUGS)))) and posi-vibes to all who need them.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Curtain pole is up in the bedroom and the new curtains :D.. Another nasty job done.

    Next nasty consists of lots of large furniture moving or.. a trip into the loft.. Hhhmm... could I persuade OH up there today I wonder?

    2 more loads of washing just about done then I have 3 empty baskets.. and I refuse to pick up dirty stuff from the childrens rooms so they can do it themselves when they get home from school. I may nag OH to get the shower curtain down though.. save me standing on the sides of the bath.. :p..

    I do like my new curtains :D They'll be better when the packet creases drop out of them too!

    I mat have some food and start another cardy for the baby while I decide what to do next..
