    sarah - behave! you are doing too much.

    love, hugs and spoons.


    Crafty you dont know how much it means to me tonight to have someone say that to me.

    Had a call earlier from one of my 'friends' in my support group and she really upset me. I guess it was unintentional but she had a few digs at me for not being there and using my op as an excuse not to do things. She went on about how most people are back to normal in a couple of weeks etc. I was so upset, when I get angry it flips in on me I find it impossible to express it to the causation. :mad:
    Anyway positive outcome being..

    Morning all
    Well, I failed miserably yesterday - hardly any housework done at all and I've got my Dad back today to carry on with the lining paper.

    Feeling a bit overwhelmed today, so I'll plug on with my dailies and see what else I can do on top of that. I've got some paperwork to send off before my course next weekend, so I'll get that organised. I've got a couple of other bits to do, but I'm not going to push myself today.

    Sending loads of hugs to anyone who needs one.

    Take care

    Good morning everyone.

    Well it is Wednesday already and I am only just posting. No reason as to why not earlier, am just rubbish at posting lol.

    Still carrying on with my exercise but have decided to give up Slimming World for now as I got soooo much stuff in my cupboards and freezer that need eating first before I can do any kind of diet. I am a self confessed hoarder of food. I always have loads. I am sure I could feed myself for about 2 months on what I got. So I am going to change that now and only eat what I got.

    Anyway, here is my updated list:

    How dare she. OK I'm all for encouraging someone esp. if you know them well and think they need encouragement, but the important bit in what she said is most people. People have different recovery rates and different pain thresholds.
    You did too much in the house and were too sore to go to the meeting - what has she been doing?

    shysarah do take it easy today please!!

    Got to take Dad shopping today, to get some Christmassy bits they haven't found in Portugal yet. So I'm guessing that's most of the morning taken up. Then coffee at Grandma's, then school run. Looks like I'll be doing my lists later then!!

    Hugs, spoons, sticks as appropriate. Have a good day, everyone

    have to take DD2 to the doctors at 10am - the ear infection is getting worse not better and she has ASKED to go! (Despite being determined to go back to school today!)

    She has never asked to go to the GP's before - it must really hurt!:(

    Good morning all - lovely blue sky and sunshine here - but bitterly cold and frosty. I'm glad its not my turn for the school run today.

    Didn't get round to yesterday's list because I had one of those evenings of dropping off and collecting kids from clubs. Today I am feeling positive and definitely beginning to see an improvement in the house. I've just got to put away last night's ironing and then I'm going to get cracking

    Monday all done :j
