    Well I managed to get in and more importantly out of the bath without too much trouble, feel tired now tho'!

    Have paid a couple of bills, tidied the top of my printer aka office hot spot and decluttered some banana on toast for lunch. May need to go and lie down to recover....
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Feeling rather down today so I'm hoping a list will make me feel a bit better. Been to the P.O and posted 10 ebay items that sold and also returned a pair of shoes that I brought for my wedding day :( they were beautiful bur very poorly made and the wrong size (a very large 4 seeing as I'm a 4-5 and they fell off my feet!!)

    Not read back I'm afraid, been bad all week if I'm honest, just when u think its over with the darkness returns :( Sorry all

    Lunch has been and gone, hubby fixed DD's lamp so it's now back in it's rightful place. Been up in attic and found the mattress topper, extra quilt and more winter coat so thats all now down. Bed topper on bed and fresh bedding on. :D

    Hubby was looking for a charger in the bedroom so it was pulled apart and no sign. Searched the filling thing and no luck but did find my bath panel stuff so most sort it this week. Finally found the charger on top of the kitchen cupboard. :o

    Think i'll carry on in the bedroom for awhile and sort through more stuff for ebay.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    sarah Joanne - sorry to hear you and the baby are poorly - hope you both feel better very soon - and huge (((hugs)) for a speedy recovery for your Grandad - what a shock for you all.

    I somehow dont think the words 'sane sensible and Valli' all belong in the same sentence:p:D:rotfl:


    Willow
    well done doing a bit in both places - have you more 'freedom' to do stuff at your fiance's? if you are going to be living there once you are married it will be good to use the lists to get into good routines now.
    MsGnomey - [STRIKE]is that wise honey - would it not be better to wait until Dh is home? be very careful if you do go ahead.[/STRIKE] glad you have managed but take it easy and dont be rushing things - hope you enjoyed the bath xx

    Dusty (((hugs))) angel - hope whatever it is goes away quickly with the AB's - take it easy xx
    aj hope you are not overdoing it (((hugs)))
    sammr85 (((hugs))) that was last week honey - this week will be better - do one thing nice for yourself everyday until you feel brighter - and keep posting!!!!!!!

  • Yet to do from todays list-
    Clean detergent drawer
    wash windows-did them the end of last week.
    Collect/ sell/bin 10 things-can't do this as I'm a bit of a hoarder I'm afraid-I'll never be a true flylady, however did get rid of at least 10 things from the very yucky fridge. Fridge was so bad I'm surprised we've not been ill!!
    HHI-just about to start.

    Have also tidied(how does a 5 year old manage to make so much mess!??) the front room and hall and vaccumned them. Also cleaned the toilet and rehung the shower curtain that I washed yesterday.

    So plan for my afternoon is 1-ironing, 2- fold washing and put away, 3-remake beds, 4-prepare chicken in tomato sauce for tea, 5-clean washer drawer, 6-remember to collect DD from school after gardening club!!
    Getting started now!
