    Thanks Valli for posting the link to the spoons theory I forget some people don't know what it is unfortuanatly for some of us it's part of our lives but it is such a good explanation of how we have to cope with each day.

    Frodders congrats on 5000 posts.

    I need to get some things listed on ebay tomorrow so hopefully will get that done and NN is coming round and going to clean the windows for me so need to make her a chocolate cake as a thankyou as she really has been a great help last couple of days.

    I had a good Flying day today (well, just realised it's yesterday!). I did my HHC, 15mins in kitchen, 15 in lounge, then sorted out a load of old receipts etc and tore all the addresses etc off (don't have a shredder). Then another HHC in the spare bedroom. Did 3 loads of washing, including a heavy double size patchwork quilt (which I made in the 60s and 70s from dressmaking scraps when I used to make all our clothes) and got it all on the line, then made a loaf in the BM......etc etc etc.

    Between jobs went to hospital to visit DH, but didn't stay long today, as he was quite sleepy.

    So busy that I didn't have time to come on here!

    Went out this evening for a while, and was impressed with my nice tidy house when I came home (still not perfect, but pretty good).

    Have a good week everyone.

    Morning All

    :bdaycake:Happy Birthday froddy - hope you have a great day!:beer: Are you doing anything tonight?

    Didn't get anything done last night as I called in at my friend's house after Beavers then I pretty much went straight to bed. AF has arrived which means she'll decide to visit again while I'm on holiday.:mad:

    So far this morning I've put a wash on and now I'd better wash the dishes from last night.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Happy Birthday Froddy! Hope you have a lovely day.

    I'm playing truant today. My DF has asked me to keep her company sitting round her sisters pool......Tough decision - Housework or pool.:D
