Thanks for everyone's well wishes for my sister. Got all her stuff out.Bit of a nightmare as its 3rd floor apartment so up down up down about a million times!!
Good exercise! Have come home and sorted bathroom- its all shiny and clean! Done 3 loads of washing- 2 dry other on line. Emptied dishwasher, put some bits back where they belong. Just having a breather! On way home went in Recycle Shop and picked up a gorgeous Laura Ashley lamp with not a mark on it for a fiver. Looked on-line and similar ones are going for between £35-£50 so very pleased with this. For my shabby chic girly bedroom! Managed to nip into Sainsburys and grab bits i needed and birthday present which i must wrap!! Need to give kitchen very quick tidy then its onto yesterdays list as this living room needs a good blitz.

Love to all. xxxxxxx

Laundry folded and away - except for load sitting in TD because I suspect it needs another half hour, and the sheets which will live on the sofa until OH gets home tomorrow and decides what ones he wants to take to the car show over the weekend.

How did you get on LW and Toots? I must do HHE at the weekend, the state of my body is depressing me I know I've just had a baby but really having one pair of jeans and a pair of leggins that I can wear is wearing a bit thin. Just put about 6 loads of washing away and the only thing that was mine was underwear as I just wash what I've got and wear it straight away, it doesn't get to the wardrobe!

Got to go out in half hour, gonna quickly tidy up the toys in the LR before we go if DS1 will allow and change the bub. Don't like it when they have injections, when Ollie had his I cried more than him! Still, it's better than some horrible disease...

Be back later x

LameWolf thanks but never mind about me you sound as if you should be resting and getting your strength back and not worrying about the flying - and especially since you are having a visit from a huge slobbering, drooling dust creating jay-cloth - I wouldnt bother:rotfl: you will have more to do once he has left!!!! take care of yourself and rest (((hugs))))

Thanks Toots. I'm getting through the lists a little at a time, just not doing as thorough a job as I would normally (f'r instance, the bathroom got a squirt of Stardrops solution and a wipe over, and I didn't move all the dragons to dust, etc). I have to try, or else the lupus has won.;)
Do I have it right, you're in the hossy again next week? In case I forget tomorrow (head's a shed this week), my best wishes go with you, and hope you're out again and feeling more chipper very soon.:o
I'll try and get a picture of Jay-Cloth; my dog-sitting franchisee lady wants one, in any case:rotfl: (I told her I wasn't available that day, as Jay's very naughty with other dogs).

Done my HHYoga;:j I've also done all the Flying I'm going to do today,;) so will try for a little aerobic stuff in a bit - I still have a l-o-n-g way to go with the weight loss.

hello all

flying wise today I ironed 2 shirts for DH, will also put the washing away when it is dry. Have also phoned and left a message for car repair man, hopefully he will get back soon so I can cross something else off my list. Mr T is coming 3-5 and I have a netmums person coming at 4ish. I was going to make some calls this aft but it's difficult when the door might go any minute. DH now in his interview.

really must finish my hospital bag this aft.

fedup I hope you get over your cold bug very quickly. (((get well hugs)))
Helly I didnt do that well - got some of the worktops cleared - got washing out - had a lovely unexpected phone call - washed up my herb pots - put some bits in the DW and then my friend C called.
Good luck with getting in shape again - i am sure running around after your LO's must keep you fit.
LameWolf glad you are now going to take it easy - yes I go back in on Monday and have everything crossed that its only for 5 days this time!!

Think I will go and phone my mother now rather than later so that i can have a quiet evening. and then its back to the kitchen!

Hey Toots,

Im getting better, but not great.....Im certainly not as bad as I was yesterday!! So hopefully on the mend! Ill be sure not to bring you any bugs!

Since your cleaner has let you down, couldnt you perhaps at least ship out the ironing? Ive PM'd you a link with some numbers for Ironing peeps in your area (wasnt sure if you want the whole thread knowing the precise area! - not so much posters, but you never know who lurks....) Hi Lurkers!!

At least that would help you get sorted before you go and arrange for a new cleaner perhaps, for when you are home again? Ill give you a hand on the Monday if you like?

Hope your ok pet and you know where I am if you need anything xxxx
