    I want to come and rejoin you guys this week. Hello everyone. :D I finally feel like my life is gaining some bit of control and i can do it. I inspired myself as i managed to clean quite a few things that really needed it this week, and the kids are finally that bit older and can join in more or entertain themselves a bit.

    Busy week here, as i have a visit from the in-laws, and we have just had a new bathroom fitted and the guy needs to come back to do the last few bits. We are also going away for a few days next week without kids, so the whole house needs to be ready to leave in the capable hands of the in-laws. I need it to be clean enough for them to not feel they have to start doing stuff.

    So, what room will i be doing tomorrow? I know i will need to be doing a lot on the downstairs areas tomorrow so it is clean and tidy enough for visitors. I also need to go to the supermarket at some stage.

    I'm back in again this week. Thanks all for the list and thread. :D
    My sister and BIL were up today so no flying has been done except the DW, went to the park and the kids and males played football. Rhys bless him tried to get the ball a couple of times when it was near him. He walking pretty much all the time now. I can't keep up with him. :rotfl:

    Tomorrow is busy, busy, busy. Kids to be at summer scheme at 10 and lifted again at 4, hubby up for lesson at 1 out at 2.

    Thanks everyone for the hugs and vibes, i think hubby is on a slow burner. I'm hoping with him going to the football on saturday it will keep his mind busy but he is in a bit of a relapse. Nurse has already handed loads of contact numbers over. :(
    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
  • HI
    thanks for the weeks agenda. I'm in again this week. Got plenty done last week but lots I didn't do. Still have 3 major disaster zones to attack and survive. DD due back tomorrow from almost 3 weeks sailing camp so should have lots of wet, smelly clothes to wash. Note to self ...must move piles of laundry off her bed and rehome before she returns ......
    It has been lovely to see a clear kitchen, bathrooms, porch and hallways for the past fortnight. Must keep on top of them and add a few more successes to my list. Should be just about there before school starts back_pale_

    Would love to progress past level 1 ..maybe this week ...
  • I'm in. Had a trial run last week and then went camping for four days but eager to sort my house out. Last week of the school holidays so lots to do.

    You are so not in this week.. you can come sit on the umpire stools with me.. we'll look like crows in our nests lol. I'm not in for at least a few weeks :p

    Wot she said ^^^^^

    Thanks, however, both of you (Piggers and Toots) for sorting out Fred between you. I did dip in at 9pm and was grateful for seeing it there. Particularly as the kids stayed longer than expected - but that was nice. Good Family stuff.

    Roast dinner cooked

    Washing up of none DW bits done
    DW on.

    Chooks brought back in but I'm beginning to think it's time they stay out there - they were asbo chickens when they came back indoors today. And there was me, this afternoon, doing overtime with the Dyson! It really wasn't worth it...

  • Please could I join in?

    I have lived with CHAOS since going back to work when my youngest started school last year! I have had a few days off work and sorted the worst (had to as SIL was coming to stay:eek:) but I really really want to keep the progress going and keep on top of things again :D
    Thank you x

    I am in again!! House is looking good even if I do say so myself, lol, this time of year it is a constant battle against cat fluff as one of my moggies sheds dreadfully, wish I could just hoover him...LOL... not likely as he legs it when the dyson comes out, doesn't even wait for me to plug it in most time!!!

    Right off to bed, will find/write a list in the morning, night night! xx
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    She is 14, I have just spoken to her friends parents the holiday is only 17miles away from home and its for 3 days:D So have said she can go I have address and 3 phone numbers and she will be taking her mobile so if there is a problem it will take me half hour to get there;) She is happy I have let her go but thought it was further away, I think if it was she wouldn't be going ;)

    Welcome abigail have a :xmastree:so you will be noticed take it easy and don't try and do all the list in one go just break yourself in gently.


    I just realised I have physio tomorrow :eek: for my neck and back care it's my first one so hoping they wont make me do anything to much as I don't want to feel worse.

    EX MIL has also rung and she has asked if she can have the girls for the last week of the holidays of course I said yes:D looks like me and DS will have a quiet week so might try and get the hallway finished then as its mainly glossing.

    Big hugs for LL,Diva,Toots,and FFP and anyone else who wants needs them.

    Welcome back macpep1 yes squeak has arrived :T:T she's lovely.
