    Hello! I've not managed to get on here at all but continuing to s/s, clean and chuck things out and generally keeping on top (ish) of everything cleaning wise.

    Big hugs Rach. Wishing you a healthy and happy birth with everything happening perfectly for you xxxxx
    msgnomey - Hugs to you. I can remember feeling totally shocked when i found out I was having a hysterectomy. It'll be two years ago this December (and two days after my 40th!) and, for me, it was the best decision I've ever made. If you have any questions at all feel free to PM me. Absolutely anything at all. Believe me, I think I asked every question going and some! Hope you're ok xxxx
    Ladyliberty - helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fairy dust continues to rain down xxxxxx
    Toots - hope you're ok honey.

    Big hugs to everyone else. Quick hhc for me 1445 to 315 xx

    Well this is my list so far this week, the first week I've been in this thread. I'm quite pleased to have got level 1 completed each day and in awe of how much so many others here manage to get through! Feeling shattered from dd waking at 5 every morning recently - must find a way to sort that out. Well, off to clear up the kitchen from lunch while she's napping and ds is watching tv.
  • Off to tackle the fridge - back later

    Afternoon all

    Just having a tea break

    Got my dailies done, dusted living room, stripped beds, WS1&2 on the line.

    Did my pilates DVD for the first time in ages and really enjoyed it so I need to cut down on the flying and up the 'me' time.

    Been gardening all afternoon as it is like summer here. There is more to do out the front than I thought though. After school club for DS3 so I have another hour yet.

    Rach - keeping everything crossed for you

    LL loads of love for you

    Kaz hope you feel better soon and are not missing your lad too much

    Aww thanks Dusty. Not sure its so much missing him now as worrying about him as he admitted that he had struggled Sunday night with all the others in the flat being party animals and out while he sat in on his own. Knowing the whole week is going to be like that is tough as his course doesnt start til next week :( Am feeling a lot better than I was and walked doogie this afternoon to get some fresh air (and my phone which was being [STRIKE]repaired[/STRIKE] replaced with a shiny new one).

    Before that I had decided to clear some of the carp that DH had moaned about that was living on DD's floor again so some improvement there and am heading back there now to get her to do some now she's in from school too!

    Back later

    PS reminde to myself to eat, forgot breakfast and a bar of chocolate is NOT lunch

    Hi all.

    Msgnomey (((HUGS))) I have no idea what a microwave ablation is, or hyperplasia, but it sounds like you could use some Flylady Special Support.

    Hoping Toots is doing OK

    LadyL hey, nice to "see" you!

    I've finished the list as far as is possible, but it looks like I'll be playing catch-up again on Friday, because Mr LW's on leave tomorrow, as it's Mabon (Autumn Equinox).

    He also just phoned me to say he's likely to be considerably late home tonight as he's got some procedures to run after all the users have logged off the system. Good thing tonight's dins is already made, just needs nuking.

    Going to see if I can go without blowing my nose for long enough to do a HHWii now.:D
