    Sunnygirl - my heart goes out to your friends and their little boy. When my son was in hospital my friend put money (ranging from 50p to £2) in different envelopes and labeled each one with a day of the week and what i had to treat myself to - a bar of chocolate, a magazine. It's amazing how little things like that add up when you're in hospital and I started to look forward to opening the envelope and getting my 'ritual' treat. Sending lots of love and flylady healing vibes. Yet again a lesson in not sweating the small stuff! xx

    Aww bless you sockdrawer - hope you feel better soon x
    Sunnygirl - sorry to hear the news, very sad :( Hope everything goes alright love him x

    Hmm have been thinking - have been very emotional and have no idea why - doc has put it down to stress though I feel I have no need or right to feel this way. I'm also suffering from nausea and peeing literally every 20 minutes to half hour! I wonder........
    I don't think it's what it sounds like though - have been down this road before many times, lol!

    OK back to flying :)
    I have done dishes, ironed clothes, WM on and TD on. I've tidied the living room although a little more to do.
    Not much more alas :( Not going to college tonight - eldest needs his stiches out in hospital which would mean DH taking him and youngest son having to go too. Last time we were in the hospital, (having said stitches put in), we got back very late and youngest went to bed at 12.15 in the night and I couldn't get him up for school in the morning. So have rang tutor - who was lovely - and staying home with youngest so he can go to bed at decent hour :)

    Right need to crack on :)

    Everything happens for a reason :)

    note to self page 18

    slight improvement to my manic week

    PPA this afternoon so (after a meeting to review last weeks lesson observation and feedback to me) I dashed home, tugged the washing off the maiden and have flung it on the line in the sunshine. I have one of those multi hangers and that was already full of socks so made pegging out a doddle;)
    also boss booked me in for a full day's supply tomorrow but, as the afternoon is already covered I have clarified that I am needed for the morning only...So I plan on hot-footing it out of there at 12...

    caught up

    hugs for your friend and her son Sunnygirl

    I'm done (and done in lol!!!) Front room, hall stairs and landing now spotless, all paintwork washed, all edges done and all vacumned!!!
    Just having a rest before I put some washing away. Good thing DD has gone to a friends for tea-I have 1 &3/4 hours left before I collect her so will get something else done too. I'm looking forward to going to work on friday-even though its a physical job it should be easier than this flying lark!! I am of course aware that if I hadn't let it get into such a state the flying would be easier!!!

    Sunnyday-thinking about your friends son.
    July grocery- 24.40/220. NSD-1/3.
    Myself, DD, 2 cats, 35 weeks pregnant.
    Debts- CC's- V-775, F-1253.10, BC-3291.80, T-1429.08. Total-6748.98. All 0%. Aim- to pay £200 per month.

    That's a great idea. Think I'll get on to that.

    Thanks for all your good wishes everyone. I'll let you know how he's doing.

    Girls tea is cooling down and got to be at DD2's swimming lesson at 5pm so I might get a bit of flying done before we go. Think I'll get some more washing folded and sorted into ironing piles before we go.
