    Liloandstitch, hope you get some rest hun, have you looked at Lyme Disease, it causes similar catastrophic debilitating effects on the body such as fibromyalgia and ME...I am recovering from Lyme and can probably echo what CyclingYorkie will say re pacing and resting.

    Lyme is know as the great imitator as it imitates so many other diseases and conditions...just a thought.

    Re flying, got a kitchen to potter about in and clear and I really should get some ebaying done...:D

    Piggers...how ya doing? Wanna obscene?..I can pick you up hun, would love to see you xxxx

    Good innit...:D.

    I figured this out last year, saved numerous rows and stress and felt like I'd earned some serious brownie points for being an organised Mum...:rotfl:

    Got DD2's, just need a coat I think.

    Shoes were from Evans in the sale, 2 sets of school, some plimsoll types and a pair of sandals.

    To Do Today
    [STRIKE]Laundry[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Laundry outside if rain keeps off[/STRIKE]
    Hoover downstairs
    Tidy lounge
    [STRIKE]Clean oven hate this[/STRIKE]
    Declutter and clean 2 cupboards and 2 drawers
    Clean breakfast bar stools
    Sort fridge out and check dates
    Clean windows in kitchen

    Laundry has undergone a few extra rinses on the washing line but its staying out until it dries whatever :)
    List looking a little feeble I know but I have done my worst job, the oven.
    Oven trays came up great after a soak in the bath with washing powder good tip from OS there. Lots of gunk removed from the oven and a vow made to wipe it down more often but we shall see.

    Wedding thread eh Valli - are you expecting a romantic question on your picnic tomorrow :)

    Off to do a couple of easier things then my list looks better

    link inserted in my previous post;)

    only question I am likely to be asked (that will get an affirmative answer) is more suitable for the arms. I am NOT going to besmirch this thread :rotfl: Piggers'll have me PPRd :rotfl:

    Triker     I am really pleased with the school uniform thing - M&S was the only place we could get the 3/4 sleeves with a shirt collar last year and I walked through there Thursday but thought 'no, I'll go home and check quidco first' and blow me they're offering free delivery. DD doesn't quite have the arm-thing that DS and I both have (hate long sleeves - we're pusher-uppers) but she likes 3/4 sleeve school shirts. Job done, no traipsing round shops trying on. I can focus on 'the wedding' now :rotfl:S'like christmas really - you know it's coming. Might as well be prepared!
