    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

    Jue

    HHI done now going to stick some stuff in a charity bag to leave outside - this one will take anything instead of just clothes so I can put books, toys, etc in it. Then I suppose I'd better go to work!

    Morning!!
    My jobs for today (after getting DD off to school) are a bit off list.I'll try to level 1 for the beginning of the list as I still have some kitchen things I'm in the mood for doing today.

    Clean cats tray.
    Pay M&S
    Vac FR, Hall, stairs, landing, bathroom, toilet and my and DD's rooms.
    Wash kitchen windows (they are bad!!) and landing one-then ALL my windows will be clean!
    Wash and wax kitchen table-it may need 2 waxings as its ages since I did it.
    Clear the last bits of kitchen counters.
    Tidy DD's room and dust.
    Sort DD's tops drawer.

    That should fill my day nicely and will mean that the kitchen is done apart from the dresser which I'll do next week.
    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.

    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 session :( Shame 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/brunch :) DH 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 bell :( Ollie 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. :)
    msgnomey make sure you take it easy, you hear. Hugs honey!
    Dusty well done on becomeing a governor - you give them what for!! How are you doing with your demons so far?
    PenPen so sorry to hear about your friend, hugs honey. And so pleased DH is heading home, if he isn't already there now :)

    Hugs and love to everyone, especially
    Toots, LW, Diva and LL :A
