    Oh no Tricker thats awful news I am so sorry, some people r just a***holes! Hope u can try to enjoy the wedding reception.

    Sorry to hear ur talk with the school didn't go well notso at least u can educate him at home where he will b a lot happier

    Well I have been up since 5.50am, as has OH:eek: ( he doesn't get up that early when he has work!) Decluttered a cup of tea then went on my run with the dog. Feeling VERY proud of myself as thats now week 1 of Running made easy complete, just need to do a 30 min brisk walk tomorrow :T (do that with the dog on days I haven't run anyway)

    Anyway came home, fed dog, put washign on the line went and had a nice hot bath for an hour to warm up and decluttered 2 chapters of my book. Been to MrS, washed up, OH has been busy making pizza dough by hand and also some bread :) Both r now proving. I've made some more yummy choc chip cookies and they have now been decluttered along with lunch. Need to get off my bum again now off to find my lists

  • Have had a completely lazy day as have a cough from hell and everytime I cough it feels like my head will explode :eek: <like that for real...

    Have decided to tidy lr when kidlets are in bed, just feeding bub then going to do dishes and put some laundry away and stick a load of towels in the wm. OH is away at a car show for the weekend so treated myself to a yummy looking reduced quiche from the deli at MrT which he doesn't like for dinner :) looking forward to that later. And thats about it really. Will finish my lists tomorrow, after taking DS1 to the park on his 'new' freecycled scooter which he loves. It's covered in rust and has pink wheels but the joy of being nearly 3 is that he doesn't care!

    Going to find my list so I can organise my day a bit better tomorrow. Hope everyone's having a good weekend, hugs spoons and sticks x

    Awaiting calls back from police and garage, just so fed up.

    Anyway took my frustration out on the cooker so its significantly cleaner now. Girls have cleared up front room and dining room for me.

    ((hugs)) Triker, that is a rotten thing to do to you. I hope you still get to the wedding and are able to enjoy it.

    Toots I hope you are feeling better soon and less like a zombie. But I think I know the feeling :) I hope hospital goes well. I will be thinking of you and praying hard.

    Thank you everyone for the hugs, I really did need them. It was silly I just tried to keep going for days and didn't mention it but the other nght I just thought I must seem like a real misery and try not to come on here when things are going really wrong.

    We went with DS to the doctor and they gave him something to help him sleep and then I got him to take me out yesterday to meet friends. I think it did us both good to talk to other people who are grieving too. He is my second child to experience the loss of a friend and employer. It leaves their lives very empty for a while.

    While I was out DD came here and cleaned and tidied the kitchen, dining area and hall.I really haven't been able to manage much recently. It feels so much better to come into a clean house.

    I love the flowers onestep. I go to Flower Club but have no idea how to do the floral displays. Very impressive.

    *Stumbles through door, comes crashing to a halt and flops on sofa*

    Busy, busy busy - we've been trying to get ALL the weekend's tasks done, in readiness for His Great Dane-ness Jay-Cloth and his Human visiting tomorrow.:rotfl:

    I've also baked tomato bread, carrot'n'orange cake and Birsay biscuits.

    I need a drink now - where's the wine?:D

    Triker words fail me. :mad::mad::mad: People who do that sort of thing should be taken outside and shot.

    Kleenex and hot toddies for all those with colds/flu/DH's with man-flu.;)

    I prob won't get online tomorrow, so Toots all the best for the hossy visit. Take care, and keep yer paws off the male nurses!;):D:D:D

    Gods, you can tell I've drunk best part of a pot of coffee today, can't you?:eek::D

    If I don't make it tomorrow (got the Earthlore Moot to go to in the evening assuming I'l still relatively sane by then), then I'll see you on the new Fred.:wave:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
