    Looking at those symptoms..Ive certainly had the flu then....Going to the toilet on Tuesday took an enormous amount of effort ..and any notes £50 or otherwise on the garden wouldnt even have been seen never mind picked up.

    Hugs to all those with relationship dilemmas....not fun at the best of times xxxx

    Flying wise...kitchen all done:T

    Need to go to HB tomorrow..want to stock up on toilet and kitchen rolls.

    DS2 back at school but college doesnt start till Wednesday...Toddlers back wednesday too.

    Managed to get a new fitted sheet for our bed today...no cushion covers I liked though...will look on thursday need to go to Valliland to pay some bills....must remember to take BabyD for her injections first...not fun ..poor baby xx

    I also need to go through all the drawers in the LR and throw loads away...will need to wait till bins are emptied as they are full to the brim and I have sacks at the side that I know they wont take :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:Not my fault they havent been for a month:eek::eek::eek:...Think I will stick at 1 drawer a week on top of the lists.

    Welcome to all newbies...do stick to babysteps...most of us have been doing this a while now so can generally do the lists fairly quickly as we have decluttered etc already good luck xx

    Loads of love to Toots,LadyL,Lamewolf,Valli,Seafarers wife and anyone else who needs some xxxxxx
