  • 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 xx
    To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existance - Sydney Smith

    I did my HHC (dot-to-dotting in the kitchen and downstairs) then my HHP (finances and doing my in-tray). It then started to look like rain, so I took out two 2l ice-cream boxes to pics strawbs and rasps. there are so many strawbs, I've filled both boxes with them :T Need to pics rasps and cherries later :)

    HHI has been delayed, so will continue with paperwork now then coffee and HHI 10:45 - 11:15. Catch me if you can ................

    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 :j

    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?
