    Thanks to everyone for their lovely messages. I'm still flying but it's a bit ineffectual really! I daren't sit down or I'll fall asleep so I'm just moving gibble from one place to another. Saying that, i've shredded a load of paperwork so there is generally less gibble around. Mind you, when I can't find some important paperwork in a few weeks time I'll probably find I've shredded it! Off to de-gibble some more! xx

    1. make bed
    2. make DS's bed
    3. wash up
    4. washing hanging to dry
    5. watch 1 episode of Mad Men
    6. 30 mins OU study
  • Another family here to whom Remembrance Day means so much, and who has just grilled the school about what DS may be doing in class about it this week! Upshot is I'm now looking for a decent worksheet type effort for 7 year-olds to do - lots and lots about but not quite the right one yet.

    Otherwise its back to a quick FLY around then on with the website again - it will be off my list by next weekend or else...

    Many many ((hugs)) to any who need it in body or spirit - this time of year can make everything so much more difficult. Thinking of you,

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Mudders i'm sorry to hear about your parents dog, big big hugs.

    Loads more washing done and loads more left. :rotfl:

    Bo chilling out in back hall, i think he's being very quiet so he doesn't end up out. I must remember to let him out for 10 mins before we go to bed.

    DD bathed and ready for bed, still have Rhys to do and he hates it. Need to find something for dinner but i can't be bothered to cook.

    Gonna go and sort more clean clothes...


    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.

    Hi Sockdrawer - how did you get on in your HHB?

    Hi MissHiggerty, Thank you for the HHC! Sorry I didn't post back, I got finished and then was called down to the shop for a wee while.
    I managed to make onion soup for lunch
    Sew a couple of buttons onto DS2's shirt-he's a scunner when it comes to buttons
    Vaccumed round hall and living room
    and get distracted by a robin....
    Dustykitten The psoriasis is pretty bad just now (though not as bad as last year when it looked as if my limbs had been burned!) The trouble with it getting to that stage is that the cream from the doctor has to be rubbed into the specific spots of psoriasis, and can be quite bad for you if it goes elsewhere, so as it's so extensive, the doctor has told me to just use the emolient cream for now, and the UVB treatment should clear it up at least to a manageable extent. Thankfully, I got my appointment for the first session through today (I start next week) which is super, as I thought I'd have to wait longer for it, so I'm very grateful, as it helps immensely.
    Mudbath Dogs do seem to sense when people need cuddles. Our lab is just the same if the children are ill or something.
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.

    OH didn't get the job so once they have finished using him he will be back to part time hours :mad: We are both very angry at the moment and although it won't get him the job I will make sure he goes to his union as they have treated him really badly. Aaaarghh :mad:
