    morning all, thanks to the usual suspects

    I am in this week with my own little list, which I'll dig our from the old thread later. DH is out after work today at the opera and not home til about 11.30pm when I'll be ready for sleep, so was a bit worried about a very long time on my own but friend has just texted to say she'll pop over in about an hour :) so I guess we'll either have a cuppa here or go out for a coffee.

    So I need to go and have a bath or shower so I am ready!

    Im in again this week, hope all goes well for Toots this week, im thinking about you. I may not wish everyone well but i do think about everyone even if i dont say it all the time.

    well im supposedly back at work this week, however ive got the docs at 11.20 to get more tramadol as im almost out of the last lot they gave me. so will see if i can get more or if im to get another fit note. but have managed to do some flying in the meantime. just sitting eating my porridge so i can get in the shower and get ready for docs then work.

    short bird, i dont know if changing my handbag and the osteopath are connected, but ive had back pain the last 3 weeks so thought it might be an idea to change from my huge cram everything but the kitchen sink into it bag that i carry on my shoulder to something smaller that goes across my body. it may help, it may not, but i change handbags every so often anyways usually to something big and chunky or really tiny and impractical. there is no happy medium with me :rotfl:

    updating list: well im now off work for another 2 weeks, so already bored out my mind, but started my living room already!

    update update: my boss wants to come visit tomorrow to see how i am! i hate having people over when the place is a mess, the bathroom and floors are a disgrace and i dont want anyone to see the house when its a tip and a half. he is coming 1st thing in the morning as well so no chance to get anything done tomorrow it needs to be done today.

    update update update: spoke to mum and she has insisted i stop cleaning and leave the house a tip as "you cant have a clean house with a bad back" yes i can but it makes my back hurt! the living room is a bombsite, the kitchen is tidy, the bathroom is presentable, but the house needs dusting and floors doing in every room but kitchen. i just dont want them work to think im faking back pain, yet at the same time i dont want to have my manager or anyone round when my house isnt spotless. its a no win situation.

    Managed to get quite a bit done in my HHC, in addition to the bits above, I also cleared some bits off the table (it is so cluttered it is going to take me a while to clear it all!), took some clean washing upstairs and hung out the washing. I also put some more washing on.
    How did you get on MissH?

    Will have a rest now, then another HHC I think at 11?

    Morning all,

    No call for supply today, although I'm relieved in a way, as I've still got a sore throat - beginning to think that it wasn't all of the shouting I did at the classes from hell last week, and that it is probably a bug caught from one of the teachers who was off sick (makes mental note to use hand sanitizer from Mumto5 sign0031.gif more often whilst in school).

    86438255.DTrJ9OJw.hi.gif serena - will send you an email in a bit - it's been a long time since we've caught up.

    Hope toots has settled in ok, and that she doesn't get too bored.

    Well I've got supply work for tomorrow all day and Wednesday morning, and will be seeing a friend on Wednesday afternoon. Haven't got a lot more planned, as I need to be available for work.

    Enough nattering, I'm off to clean the bathroom before having my shower, as it's the room that I always end up missing as it's towards the end of the week. Will do a HHC on the kitchen later on.

    Hugs for all who need or want them.
