Morning all,
Have decided to phone in sick today. I wasn't too bad yesterday but I think my three hours in the field on the other job was too much and I feel bleurghhh again today. This evil cold has been a real humdinger! As it looks like it's going to be sunny I think I shall just sit quietly in the garden all day!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Morning, glad it's bathroom day, mine is disgusting (again
)
So far this morning have fed kidlets and portioned up all the bath cooking I did yesterday into the freezer. Got 4 big portions of ratatouille for lunches or dinners for me when OH works late so I don't end up eating bread and crisps to fill me up instead of a proper meal. THen blended the rest of the ratatouille and got 6 small portions of pasta sauce full of hidden veggies for DS1And got 4 mugfulls of roast pepper and tomato soup too, again for lunches for me. Starting slimming world again next week so they'll be ideal. Got the pastry out of the fridge for tonights dinner - sausagemeat pies (not so good for SW) and going to double up and make one for the freezer aswell. Just having a cuppa then am going to get us all dressed and put away yesterdays washing, then strip the beds and get the sheets washed and on the line while the weather's still nice - shame most of the kids are back to school today! DS1 starts preschool next wednesday :eek:can't believe he's almost three already...hmm better start thinking about his birthday...and iron his name tags onto his things...

Hya everyone,
Hugs for all who need them.
Just read all through the thread - can't remember everything but glad msgnomey's mum is ok and hope you are feeling better soon soapie.
We've had visitors this weekend and although not perfect, our home looked much better than at the beginning of the holidays. Their home is always spotless and any room could be photographed for a colour supplement at any time!!! Mine is nowhere near that level - but the CHAOS feelings are subsiding - shows what can be done in 4 or 5 weeks:)
Need to keep on decluttering and try to maintain level 1. Hoping to finish decluttering and then climb up through the levels slowly.
Cheers all0 -

mummyslittleboy hope your Mum's parters op goes well today
Msgnomey I do hope your Mum is OK
LameWolf Ted is adorable, I love "mutts" like that!
I'm so useless at remembering stuffHope everyone going back to work/school etc today and over the next few days doesn't get too stressed! I used to dread the first day of term when I was teaching, then get to the end of the day and wonder what I was so nervy for!
Hugs/spoons as appropriate, especially to our pregnant ladies. I wonder if courgette's LO has made an appearance by now?
Right, off to get dressed (a mission in itself, still can't get into my jeans :mad: ) and strip the bed.
