    Hi all :) I am still around :)
    Had an absolutely horrendous week last week but can't talk about it - me and family are fine though :) Haven't started flying yet because only got in from work an hour ago and in laws popped son home after having him today for inset day for me :)
    So have tea to cook for me and eldest, a phone call to make and then I'm going to make a start on the kitchen and see how much I can do :)
    Hope everyone is well - hugs to all who need them and happy birthday to anyone I missed x

    Everything happens for a reason :)

    Bin emptied and rubbish out.
    DD's room now all tidy.
    Clean clothes all put away.
    Dishes done by hand.
    Kids getting supper now and then i'll get the school stuff ready. I'll get the kitchen floor brushed now while i wait.
    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.

    Hello All,

    hope you all had good days and if you didn't relax its the evening now so day is over..:D

    Been to the hospital and had my pre op assessment. All was fine the stole blood, urine etc and did the 101 questions form oh and a Very young looking doctor poked me tummy a bit. I must be getting older I have commented on the age of people twice in a week :rotfl:
    They have told me it will be at least one night in hospital if not two all dependent on how i cope with the air inflation thing and if it goes open rather than keyhole it will be five to seven days. Everyone was nice and I might be back on the ward I went into in Sept so I know some of the nurses there and they are a good laugh.

    My mum also gave me an Evans voucher today for £25 as a pressie to buy new pjs and slippers for my stay which was lovely.

    Ok, back on track.. flying. Er,.. I have done none other than decluttering coffees, sleep and some dinner. Hardly slept last night so came home and flaked out..

    Listy time..

    Evening all, I've gone into a list making frenzy. Made a list of people I need to write cards for then wrote out a list of the people whose addresses I need. Now I'm Going to write who I need to buy presents for then write out a list of all the presents I have and who they're for and the price if I know it. then I'm going to decide on a colour scheme for the decorations then list what my wish list is. Then I'll get started on the food list....

    I'm a lean, mean, list making machine!!!

    Edit: Just realised I've made a list of all the lists I plan to list....

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.
