    Evening all,

    Welcome back Toots.

    Big hugs Onestep.

    I'm quickly posting my list update and then i'll be going to bed.

    I started sorting the Pc cupboard earlier while tea was cooking (it's full of bathroom stuff from when i decorated the bathroom :o). Once the boys were in bed and Oh had gone home i thought i'd do a bit more so i dragged some stuff in the living room to sort while i watched Tv. I managed 1 basket and then i looked at all my nail varnishes together for the 1st time in months and painted my nails instead.:cool:

  • Kaz are you feeling better since your last injection?

    Bed for me and then another day of jobs that have been put off for far too long tomorrow.
    Not sure really, it was long overdue but in the week after it was due I felt really tired but then you get used to it. Last week was awful but probably down to the really heavy cold/flu thing which is still hanging about and the emotional stress!

    Bed for me now too as am trying to keep to this 90 minutes sleep cycle thing so that I wake up more refreshed.

    See you all tomorrow

  • sockdrawer LOVE that ebay bookcase thingie! Want want want. And soappie's chickens. Would love some, but need to get on top of house and children first before adding other animals into the mix!

    Did morning routine but very little else. Although went over to Mum's and sorted through over 50 items of ours to chuck/donate (we moved out of there last year) - which still counts, doesn't it?

    Lots of *hugs* to everyone in need of them xx
