Hi all :wave:

I'm PC-less again!! :mad: thank goodness I had a feeling about it, & did a back up this afternoon. DH has promised me a new disc when he gets home at the w/e, but in the meantime, I really do love my phone

I've made a good effort at the kitchen today. And did tons of ironing too, so a pretty productive day.

Really lovely to see LL posting - hope you're recovering from your fall. Hugs & spoons & prayers.

Absolutely mortified! Now I hoover down stairs alot, sometimes twice a day if the kids have flicked their daily intake of sustance everywhere but I used my super dooper new hoover today and my bloddy goodness me.

The dirty 'fluff' it's taken out of that carpet is unreal. I'm really horrified to be honest. I'll take a pic tomorrow. The filter is nearly 1/4 full, all that in amongst the fibres, naked to the eye. YuK!

Haven't been very productive today but I've been in and out. Went for ECG at 11.10 then dropped ex's dad off at train station. Nipped to town then came home and phoned CAB. Quite a long one! Done a budget for rest of the month as had forgotten a couple of things. Picked kids up, went to parents for dinner. Just going to wrap my mums birthday present and then bed. Won't get much tomorrow as toddlers in morning then got to pick some bits up in afternoon. At home Weds so will catch up then.

Have also done the 10 thing decluttering - mostly paper but it was good - I found my birth certificate!!! Now need to put it somewhere safer!!!!

well you can thank asbo she beat me to it - I saw it last night but was too tired and she did it this morning - cant have you feeling left out now can we xx well done with the ebaying.
Diddlypud thank goodness for Dh - it must be a bad cut to need 6 stitches - take care of it and make sure it heals properly (((hugs))) have you hoovered what you can out of the rads - then one of these flat duster thingys or duster pushed through with a stick - probably someone else will have a better idea - i will go now:D
Mollina Girl - you will soon establish some easy routines and it will be a doddle to keep on top of - just give it time - it wont happen overnight:T
cheeseaddict - every little helps and like you said its more than you would have done - dont worry about playing catch up this week (unless you have done everything else!!) it all comes around next week with variations and anything you missed you will catch then - well done for today:T
Willow well done to you to:T

oh hex that is brilliant:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

More stuff in the skip, but still plenty of room. DSs are horrified at how mcuh space they have. I must break this attacthment cycle, I blame their father.

well done with the skip - keep it up and the place will feel better and hopefully lift your mood - maybe if you try to declutter the boys stuff monthly or something it might break the attachment thing? then when you have them on your side you can all work on DH:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

holly hope DS2 is better soon and am sending strength and patience vibes to deal with OH:mad: (((hugs)))
sammr hope you have a good night and feel better tomorrow (((hugs)))
kazm huge ginormous squishy (((hugs))) we are all here for you angel either on the thread or by pm - feel free to make contact if it will help - please dont think your problems are any smaller than anyone elses - they matter to you in a big way - I am really sorry to hear things are bad and will send you positive vibes and strength to get things sorted. lots of love xxxx

I have managed to while away several pleasant hours playing a new game on the DS Magscat leant me for while I was poorly-where has the time gone?

Off to take lots of pills and go to bed:eek::eek::eek:

On the flying front lest I get a fluffy mule lobbed in my direction OH put the hoover round downstairs and I supervised DD making the tea (sweet and sour chicken very nice it was too!) :T:T:T:T:T
