Morning All
Good luck with your interview mumto5.
Well done Tooch.
Parents' evening tonight at my school but new HT as said there's no need for us to stay so I might finish on time instead of 5 so I'll be able to get some stuff done as kids will be at mum and dad's. Mum did loads of washing for me yesterday and brought it me back last night so that needs sorting out. It also means I've got a mountain of ironing to do.
I don't think I've particularly done anything off the lists this week yet although I have done a bit of decluttering it's just been a busy week as usual.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Morning everyone, I was up bright and early this morning. Even filled up the bird feeders in the dark
Didn't see any birds as it was too early and too dark then, but it's nice and light now and still no birds..lol. I think they may be sulking as I fed them late yesterday..lol. I must have the pickiest sparrows/doves/wood pigeons/robins/blackbirds etc in the area..lol
Oh wait Mr & Mrs Dove have just hopped onto the fence, as I am typing this. I think they may be going in for the feed..which means Woody will not be too far behind them. I swear he is on a piece of elastic attached to a dove, because wherever they are he is not far behind them..lol
Haven't got STEPPS therapy today, got a phone call early yesterday morning cancelling. They haven't got anyone to chair the sessionShame as I have actually done my homework this week and I so wanted to make a point of showing the leader, especially after last weeks hissy fit that I threw..lol. Oh well never mind. And would you believe it I am up and about and don't need to be.:rotfl:
I am hoping to go to S'bugs with the girls from therapy group for lunch, we are going to have our own therapy group over a breakfast/brunchDH has threatened to email S'bugs to warn them some very lively and giggly women will be entertaining themselves in their cafe!!!
AJ how are you feeling now - hopefully the painkillers etc are really kicking in now and you are starting to feel more human
Seafarers it's amazing what a difference something small, like washing up every time you use the dishes, can make
Toots I see you have a totally free day on Friday - are you going to take advantage and have a "you" day? Hope you managed to get some decent sleep last night after your inconsiderate call/text from "toxics" friend the other night.
Pavlovs-dog how are you doing? Better than last week hon?
Valli I had to laugh at your poor kitten with her bell:rotfl:My cat (amycat) goes completely schizoid if she has to wear a bellOllie makes up for it - he has 2 bells!!!
Cycyling how's your DD's ear pain? Is it easing now? And so glad that she is actually getting looked at and not being palmed off with excuses.
Holly glad you survived the in-laws
Mumto5 how's DS2 now? Is he feeling better? Good luck with your interview this morning, fingers crossed
Froddy if I conserve enough spoons I'm hoping to pop down for the meet-up in half-term
WB Lemanie, hope you are taking it easy and not doing too much.
Lil-me hope the council sort your pipe out soon, keep badgering them honey
LW hope you are feeling a bit better honey, and are you taking it easy and not using all your spoons up at once?
Helly well done done on the free haircut
Toochoosey, no advice re the insurance - although am really surprised that van insurance doesn't cover work tools. Wanted to send hugs to both you and DH. Hope it can get sorted out soon.
xxJoxx "Hugs" honey
Shysarah hope your gallstones are behaving themselves and you aren't in too much pain now.
Yikes Vanilla I saw you posting at ungodly hours the other day - hope you managed to catch up with your sleep in the end.
