Holly - that's impressive! I've only done a fraction of that and still feel tired already.
SummerMoon - so sorry you and your family had more bad news. Sending you all coping vibes and hugs.
Valli - I'm really pleased for you.
Jo - well done! Don't do too much today.
Sunnygirl - they're great results. Well done.

Sorry for posting tiny babysteps today. Think I will try and get to see a doctor sometime soon. I shouldn't feel like this all the time. At least I'm eating better, with lots more fruit and veg. Breakfast was French toast with banana and yogurt. Yummy.
DH asked me earlier why I looked so glum (I was pegging washing out while he had a cig in the garden). Told him that I was fed up with feeling ill and overwhelmed by my to-do list. Response: he chose a film to watch on telly.

MrsC.. If you are following the flylists why don't you aim a little lower next week with the intention of having the whole weekend off? .. give yourself a break.. You sound like you are on burn out and you possibly feel so crappy because you are worn out and need to take it easy for a bit.. look after yourself first the rest will fall into place.

After spending the WHOLE day in bed yesterday bar a few loo runs and one trip downstairs to collect the post .. I am going to at least get the tins of paint from the bathroom today!! I am sick of seeing them in there!!

Tesco delivery 12-2pm which will need putting away as most is frozen stuff.

And I need a shower too.. and the loos are vile.

Mim's bed need depi$$ing so OH can do that cos I can't reach.

Summermoon - big hugs for you and your DP

WM1 on the line
WM2 going in next

DH has taken DS2 to the cinema and on to the DIY store.

Bacon butties done for DS1&2 (DS3 and DH will have their's later as they had brekkie).

Really having a CBA day. Think I'll try a HHG and see if that perks me up a bit.

Valli

Mrs. C - I would agree with Piggers here and add the proviso that it's always a heavy term, is this one - but the end is in sight SO take a deep breath and cut back

(((hugs)))

And I send you some of my Karma and I'll wave when I drive up the M1/M18/A1 as appropriate!

Just done a HHI while DD cooked the bacon for the butties for her and her brother (faints in shock- but DS was even MORE surprised! ...DS has found - 'Kissing in the back row' on line and keeps playing it when I go in there :rotfl:)

Personally I'm listening to High Times by Jamiroquai

I have to agree with the others Mrs C take it easy please don't burn yourself out it's not worth it it will still be there tomorrow (((hugs)))

Tidied DS's room, put WM on emptied DW and DS has kindly got all his toys out in his room again:mad: So I am not doing it untill his bedtime. Need to go to the shops for a few bits for DD so will do some more flying later.

Valli Great to hear things are going well:T

Summermoon Hugs to you and your family.

Is it me or is FunfairPrincess missing this week? Hope all is ok.

have also started conversation with DS1 - using the drip-feed method

ETA Thanks for the kind (and wise) words, everyone. Thing is, I already do very little during the week. And if I did nothing for a weekend, it would put me under extra pressure in the following week. I've already pretty much given up on the lists and just try to tackle the most urgent jobs. Next weekend will be different, as we are all on the club trip to the seaside on Saturday, and I'm looking forward to that. And it's DS1's last exam on Tuesday. From Wednesday he can expect a job list for each day, unless he finds part-time work, which is unlikely. Thanks for looking out for me.

Summer~~ large hugs for your family and you
MrsC~# I agree with the others xxx
Valli~~FTMI in relating to you sleeping alone!!! glad you had a good time and your kids find it amusing!!

Been to sleep for 3 hours, got woken up by the fly past for MOTO at Silverstone, I don't think it was the Red Arrows, but they were noisy, the cloud cover is low over here, so while I would hear them, I only caught a small glimpst of who ever it was.

Had a chicken wrap with salad, I'm going to watch the MOTO, then do a bit of gardening, but I feel sort of 'odd' like I cannot wake up, I have the windows open, so I don't think it is CO, I think my body has just had enough of all the running about I have done last week and yesterday.

and I have flowers!:T:T:T:T:T

and I slept alone last night - cos he went home...way too soon for him to bump into DD on the way to the bathroom;)

Glad you had fun... and flowers

I've been to the farmers' market, sorted some stuff out in the utility room and and done a load of laundry.

Need to make some lunch and hang out the washing. Found lots of half dead lettuce, so I guess I'm having salad for lunch...
