ugh feeling decidedly lethargic Oh has dragged me out to Matalan as he needs new sweatshirts, sadly they had none but it did mean that I drove for the first time since my op and it was fine so that's good!:j:j:j:j

Natty68 thanks for the jugs I am taking it slowly honest!
Sockdrawer you are right about not wanting a relapse I am terrified i will do something ;wrong' I chat to several people on another forum who have had the same op as me at the same sort of time, we are keeping an eye on each other
Sunnygirl sorry to here you are poorly take lots of vitamin c
Shysarah 'YIKES' at the price of oil!!!! How long will that last you?
Rainbow81- why do we hold onto things that remind us of painful times? I do it as well, we were very hard up when DD was tiny my ex-OH was a total waste of space, I sometimes find things from back than and wonder 'why do I still have this??' but then I can't quite bring myself to throw it away why is that????

Anyway off to cook the tea, chicken with barbeque sauce and syn free chips, nomnom, will also have a little tidy up in the kitchen while I am there although it's not too bad in there, then I shall have a check of my list

sort out drawers in sideboard
empty carp out of under bed storage units- move these into DD room
rearrange glass cupboard, chuck all odd glasses and unused tea-light pots etc.

Afternoon all

Shopping done and put away
Wheelie rammed full and put out.

Still need to clean the bathroom and shower room. I think I'll get dinner on the go and then do those and call it a day.

Rainbow you are doing well and you are moving forward and it will get easier I promise you. I kept a jumper in my drawer for 4 years which was the thing I was wearing when I rushed to the hospital when Dad died. I never had liked the jumper, never wore it again for obviously reasons, kept upsetting myself whenever I openned the drawer and saw it. One day when I was ready I got rid of it and wondered why I'd hung on to something which just brought pain.

Really missing both my Dad and Nan today, probably because my mother rang for one of her 'I need to speak to you conversations' which as always has left me feeling tearful and alone.

ironing all done

dinner now...........see you all in a bit...xx

Hugs Dusty, I know the feeling. It would have been my Nanny's birthday today, but she died earlier this year and I'm feeling it a bit. And for some reason I'm terribly upset about poor Lily Allen losing her baby, I'm close to tears even thinking about it.
Remember you're not alone, we have all these lovely flyladies to keep us company x

Great news about driving again hunny, it is like having your freedom back eh. I know when I had a driving exclusion due to epilepsy for a whole year, getting back on the road had never felt so good.

The oil is expensive but I have no mains gas where I live other than a couple of calor bottles for my oven. I am hoping it will last me a year I am fairly sure my last delivery was around this time last year. It covers all my heating and water so I guess when I see the price of some peoples gas for a year it is not too bad. Although I hate running it during the day so I only tend to use it for 3 hours in the evening and maybe once in a blue moon for an hour to take the chill off.

Good job I have a coal fire!

Anyway much happier now just had a jacket potato early tonight as it is my support group this evening. Then big celebrations for me and a friend from there tomorrow night which I am really looking forward to. Not looking forward to going out in the dark cold night tho brrrr..

Loves all round

Great big Hugs to both you Dusty and Helly. Thinking of you xx

Oh sorry to those feeling sad. It's a shame we can't declutter emotions. DS's dad has just had a baby with his gf and it is bringing out a lot of mixed feelings in me as we had 2 miscarriages, plus DS has ASD so we never really all did the nicey nicey family stuff, it's always been quite stressful. Sorry, it's quite irrelevant I'm sure, but it does make me wonder why I still own things he gave me as I certainly wouldn't want to be with him now. I'm not even much of a hoarder! And he wasn't much of a gift-giver so it's beyond me. Might make this a priority this week.

I decluttered him from Facebook this evening :rotfl: maaybe I'm being petty but I don't need to see "happy families" being played out every time I log on while I'm dealing with melt downs and meetings with teachers. God I sound bitter .

Off to make a yummy Thai curry (well, out of a jar :eek:) and wash up like a good flybaby.

By 'decluttering' him from FB is not petty. I did this with all ex family too. One I don't want to see his new (but according to him not!) GF writing on the families walls and also i don't want them to see what we get up to without him. Its not bitter as i suspect like me you've been left to pick up a lot of the pieces he left behind. xxxxx

Anyway i digress! PM me if you want to vent!

Have managed to be a very naughty mummy and had a couple of glasses of the good stuff with my best friend! Bit early but sometimes its just necessary! My kitchen is sparkling as are bathrooms! Living room will be blitzed in a little while. The LO's will be in bed at 7 so will mop etc then.Tomorrow won't be doing much as out and then Thursday got some training. Going to iron later too while watching Kirsties Homemade Home. Hoping to declutter some money tomorrow on some pretty things to wear! This girl has got to get back in the game!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Finish work at 12 tomorrow so a bit of clothes shopping for me too (Birthday money), and then get on with the spare room....was looking 90% better on Friday but has since been relegated to dumping ground again!!!!!

Work is good, and so far, fingers crossed the little girl is having good days. Also the teachers are great in helping me with my welsh.

Flying....food decluttered, kitchen tidied and dishes soaking in the sink. They will be washed shortly

Off to look for any vouchers/codes etc to make my money go further tomorrow.....xx
