    Carlsbergal: -glad dannys doing well. I bled towards the end with my two i'm sure your DD will be fine x
    :rotfl:at DD piggers, girls eh?!;)
    hi smiler!!!

    My hand is now black and throbbing, with another NEW blister expanding rapidly.:mad: DS2 ripped the newly formed skin of my blisters twice today, was in total agony.
    Had a rubbish processed food for tea with fresh chicken wings. The boys helped me make it so they were chuffed to be helping mummy. Going to teach DS1 (he's 10) how to make an omelette tomorrow, should be fun.
    Met with the speech therapist today with DS2, he still hasn't grasped his spech sounds. So i said maybe leave this he's in Y2 (this september). The poor cvouldn't understand what she was saying.DS2 has problems understanding instructions but copy easily. Only problem is the tasks are vocal, we (i.e me and ST) thought it best to leave him for today. My suggestion actually, i personally thought it was best, just hope it was the right decision.

    piggers I hope you will be taking things a bit easier this week

    Erm... and who is going to be tidying/cleaning/decluttering my hovel? It isn't like I am disabled is it.. just fat.. and lacking balance and co-ordination.. :p

    The shed looks fab.. I keep going to peep in it!

    Bins out for the weekly emptying session so hopefully I can refill at least one with the stuff from he shed that is cluttering up my front and I have a feeling a few bits will be being taken by the streets tatters!

    I have paired up a laundry basket full of socks today so i have lost the kitchen table but everyone has gained footwear!

    KH's brother is getting married next weekend so he asked if I will find something nice for the children to wear.. I did say I need my bag back which Mimi took the other week with her excess stuff in (well she didn't have room in the cupboard here so I had to store it somewhere :p) so he is popping that in one day this week.. I said I wouldn't be buying them anything and the boys would be wearing jeans and shirts and I'll see what I can muster for the girlies.

    I am sure he has a personality disorder.. he was a right FW when he picked them up then nice as pie when he dropped them off.. maybe because he wanted something.. but I think he may have lost the plotty!

    DD2 has also asked if he will pay off the remainder of her trip money (£100).. I have paid the rest but am very much struggling with this half.

    I just use neat bleach and hot water and keep wiping it as soon as it starts to rear its head and keep killing off the spores!

    I use a cloth with either eucalyptus, tea tree or citrus oil, which seems to work.

    Managed a run after work. 2.5km in 18 minutes.

    Not sure I've achieved much work-wise... I seem to have a mental block. Need to get up in time for a walk/run tomorrow, and then go into the office I suppose.

    Also need to work out a walk for Wednesday...
