ajmoney you have worked like a Trojan today .. Take OH's words to heart!! Sounds like he truly appreciates all that you do. How rare!

Is it just a little bit sad to say this thread has saved my soul!!!! After a really cruddy few months in the last few weeks I've finally got my mojo back and this thread has given me that extra push so THANKYOU! XXX

Today I had plumber 2 round at 8.20am and my dad also came over as its the guy he uses. Instead of trying to rip me off like the other he is fab!! So in the next 2 weeks one bathroom's leak damage will be sorted and the other will have lovely new shower. Bless my Nan for funding it!! This will make me feel so much better. 9.10 DR for repeat prescription. Then to Post office and a friends for coffee. Came home gave DS and myself lunch then had HHC for an HOUR!! Kitchen immaculate, washing on dryer, bathroom we can use spotless, living room sparkling, my room clothes all gone away and kids room tidied. Menus done for 2 weeks and a cupboard tidied out. Woo hoo.Then school run, DD2 ballet and home to chill!

Next week I'm going to work off the proper Flylady list. Looking forward to it!!!

Night night toots - happy dreams XX

ajmoney, how lovely - Id hang on to that one! and well done nattyt for doing so much. Pigpen, I would definately complain. Her judgement and dealing with people skills must be sadly lacking to have done that - hopefully her supervisor will sort her out for you. Goodluck!

I have had a goooood day. I met a friend this morning and bought next years calender, made tea, stewed some rhubarb, cleared up after myself (A minor miracle) and did my dailies. I am really pleased with this, cos at least I have got off my bum and done something. So hopefully we will do some carp clearing this weekend - take advantage of the DH mood - and I can start again next week, doing a little more. Baby steps ......

Thanks for all the support and motivation guys, I catch up every day even though I havent been posted and I think it is one of the friendliest and close freds I have read. XXXX

MLB, I have a rotator cuff injury and it is indeed very ouchie so hugs to you. I had some physio on it while I was preggers as it was developing into frozen shouder and now waiting for an appt for a cortisone injection. They told me not to rest it though, so it didn't freeze up anymore. Hope the pain killers help x

Forgot to ask in last post, Ollie has come home with green paint on his new navy blue school sweatshirt and I'm worried about 'setting' the stain - how do I go about washing it?

I have physio on the 15th so Dr did say she was going to speak to him and get him to give me some physio to do I can't take anti inflammatory meds because they dont mix with the other meds I am on for the pain caused by my EDS so now I am on 2 different pain killers but need to rest it at the moment as its to painful to move it:(

Healing vibes for MLB and everyone else with injuries; take it steady, and hopefully have a pain-free weekend.

I'll be dogless from tomorrow, so may have to hatch a dastardly plan to kidnap Stripes or BB or.... now, who else has woofers.........:think:

Thanks LW,Toots and everyone else the only flying I did was started the christmas lists DD said she will help me tomorrow to do the flying.

I have a old staffy likes to sleep on the sofa all day and all night but he refuses to go out in the rain :mad:

Pigpen I would put in a complaint to her manager if you dont respond then it will look like you accept what has been said about you , bullet point your reasons for complaint and ask them to respond to your complaint by letter that way you have a record of what they say.;)
