    Neveahs DD Happy Birthday

    JoJo Have you tried putting a wanted add on your local freecycle for the manuel before you have to buy one

    I took DD to hydrotherapy and freightened the poor physio when my knee locked up and hip sublex all at the same time I ended up on the deck:o:o Poor woman was a bit shocked when she tried to help and I said dont worry it happens all the time :rotfl::rotfl:I pulled my joints back in to place and got up just hoping its a different physio next week.Still could of been worse I din't end up in the pool now that would of been my luck :rotfl:

    Did get teachers pressies from Asda for DS as he finishes at the development centre tomorrow which is quite sad they have done him so much good.

    DD hoovered and mopped floors for me so all downstairs is looking great:D and I did have an hours nap earlier to:D

    Hi everyone, the best laid plans and all that - my sons asthma is playing up and had to stay off school today, so nothing extra done!

    I thought I would be reporting nothing done - and the I re-looked at the list, and realised that I have, in fact done level one today!

    Wednesday - Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level 1 DONE!!!!!!!!!
    Check smoke alarms are working
    Remove and wash bed linen and duvet covers.
    Fling open the window and let in the boiling hotness


    and I didnt even realise I had done it!

    Well, off to bed now - got to remake the bed but its only sheets so wont take long - DW loaded and WM on, sink empty and ready for tomorrow. Littleun will prob be off again tomorrow, so maybe get some done/maybe not. Got to pick up prescriptions, anyway.

    Hugs to all those fighting off the bd, I hope you keep them under control


    Thanks for the words of wisdom Toots, you are exactly right, thanks, it was very reassuring to read your words. I do feel good for having achieved something today. As you say, baby steps!

    Night everyone - lilo

    Morning all

    sunshine & showers here :D much cooler thank goodness. Old dog actually got up when I came downstairs this morning, & scoffed her scrambled eggs so I guess she's feeling better :T:T I've been so worried about her that not a lot of flying has been done. Strictly level 1s only! :o

    Today's list:
    Dentist appt
    Piano lesson
    buy some She Oak
    finish sitting room & our bedroom
    Do the ironing :eek:
    Work this afternoon
    Ring Mr T to sort out mix up over vouchers
    more training with young dog

    reckon that'll do for now.

    How's Diva? Spoons being thrown to those that need them - catch!

    hugs to everyone

    Morning campers, I'm wide awake and sitting here MG_138.gif Although not quite sure if I am actually taking it all in..lol. Well it is a lovely wet St Swithins Day today, so looks like we are in for 40 days of rainl_rain.gif, also it's rather windy phil_34.gif

    I'm in the middle of the ironing pile at the moment so shall carry on with that while drinking copious amounts of cups of tea.

    I missed the birdies this morning, although I think they stayed asleep and didn't venture far in the rain and wind - sensible birds.

    Oooh I checked Parcelforce website and my Yankee Candle order is finally out for despatch to me from my local office JC_boogie.gif

    Had a lovely chat with Toots last night, it was so nice to talk to you finally honey. You certainly didn't sound how I expected..you sound nicer JC_cupidgirl.gif

    For whoever it was that was asking about the receipe for red velvet cupcakes, they are a Hummingbird Bakery receipe and I got them from here
    Red Velvet Cupcakes
    I haven't made them yet as I keep putting it off for some reason..lol I'll pop a pic up when I do make them, so you can all laugh at my cakes..heheheh:rotfl:

    Ok on with the ironing, although first must make a cup of tea otherwise I will start flagging with lack of tea :)

    Lots of hugs to everyone :)
    Welcome to the newbies, you'll love it here - we all do :j
