Morning All. Many thanks for the hugs and advice you have given me. You will be glad to know I’ve made a doctors appointment today at 3.00. It’s that long since I’ve been they still had my old surname on their system! Not only do I have the lump on my armpit, but I am coming up in small lumps/spot things on my face – well 4 to be precise, glands feel up, aching, snotty, hot/cold and dog tired. But guess where I am? You guessed it blooming work – what a soft fool I am.
Grateful - fabulous news! Take care of yourself and rest up
Piggers – hope he will understand it isn’t acceptable behaviour! Know you don’t do hugs so virtual chocolate instead
PP – that place looks fab – we would love to live somewhere like that
Zoe – hope today is everything you have wished for
Toots – ooh go you with e-baying! Hope it sells
Can't remember owt else - so love and hugs and coping vibes where necessary
Since I got up this morning I’ve:
Done 2 loads of washing
Hung out washing – but whether it dries is another thing!
Emptied DW
Washed kitchen floor
Washed laminate in living room – DD2 is to hoover the big rug there later
Washed baby bottles
Sterilised them – DD2 to make them up when the water has cooled
S/s’d kitchen
S/S’d living room
Aired and made bed
Did HHC on ironing – only 1 thing was mine!
Shower etc as per normal
Hope you all have a fab day and get loads done – if you don’t just think that the things you have done is a bonus. Will catch up later xxTo love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existance - Sydney Smith0 -

Morning all, so far today i've loaded the WM, feed the kids, left the bins down and thats about it.:eek:
My sister arrived and BIL's gran has woken up, it looks like she had a heart attack and then had a stroke. At least she has come round now but can't move her right side.:(
My sister has an interview on tuesday so hopefully it will go well. I really hope she gets this job.:D
Right i better move, need to post a parcel, get hubby some wellies and do a shop. This could take all day.:rotfl:Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
nor have I for the last 11 years.. and you don't need to push..
Like I said - I have never 'given birth' as such...
I feel really really carp AF is overdue (DON'T START YOU LOT) but is clearly en route and it hurts...:mad::(
I think being 50 miles away will be a good thing for someone;) but I would love a cuddle and to be fussed over and to go back to bed if I'm honest:(:(:(:(:(BUT I have to go in for this meeting - having said that it may well be adversarial so perhaps AF will come in useful;) (is clearly channelling Pollyanna and playing the glad game)
Anyway I have pegged out DD's bedding; grumbled at DS (just to keep my hand in) and ironed a load of ironing. I have also decluttered MORE paper and used the dumping box to stash my e bay stuff in (packaging and stuff to sell when I get a roundtuit out of the way in the cupboard under the stairs) so the dining room is looking a whole lot better already (though we will just IGNORE the table which is groaning under the weight of stuff). I have also put some stuff to one side to take into work so I will do that today then it's GONE! GONE I TELL YOU! GONE! *cackles in style of insane wife of bloke in Jane Eyre who's name escapes me*
I think I will go and powerdress now;)
Toots WHERE are you going that you need a passport for?Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
Thank you Honey Bear0
