    Finally finished the reading I was doing (Xmas prep and thats all I can say since my mum reads this thread :p ) Now I really should go to bed. Tomorrow I paint in DDs room, shouldn't take long in theory except for all the shifting of the furniture I'll have to do...but I'm going to have 2 pots of paint on the go at the same time, the gloss & the emulsion otherwise I'll have to shift the furniture twice and then again when they come to fit the carpets :mad: If she didn't have the fitted cupboard in there it would be a much more flexible room!

    Oh well, off to bed. See you all when I get up :D :wave:

    Morning All

    Thinking of you today Boddy and also Dusty's friends.

    I've got up for a bit as I was coughing and snuffling - I'll go back to bed again in a bit. Had a good weekend athough the cold I've been warding off for a couple of weekes decided to rear it's ugly head witha vengeance so I've not had a lot of sleep. Needless to say I went to bed at 7 last night so I'm not actually too tired at the mo as I've had about 5 hours sleep. I will be later though if I don't get back to sleep.

    House check tonight after work so plenty of no problems vibes needed please.

    Will have a go at the LR today as it still needs tidying and hoovering and then I'll see if I get chance to do anything else. House check is at 4 and then I go to Beavers at 5.30 and I shall probably be shattered when I get back.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning Again!

    I managed to grab about another 1.5 hour's sleep but I've lost all my motivation now. Going to hoover downstairs and then see where we go from there.

    Have a good day all

    Thinking of you boddy

    Boddy - I will be thinking of you and your family today.
    Dusty - it must be so hard for that family, thinking of them too

    The house is horrid. Too tired and sore to fix it, but bothered enough to mind the mess. I hope they decide what is wrong sooner rather later, very bored of this now. I just don't do lethargy or pain!

    Toots - it isn't easy, especially when you are a bit fed up. Not sure what to suggest other than having relatively good treats in stock? For me this is things like blueberries. What about something like the muller lights? Is it sweet or savoury for you, or is it just the idea if a little treat to cheer you up?

    Juliejim, glad you got some more sleep. I don't know how you cope on so little!
