fedupandskint

Not sure how much I'll be around this week as I need to limit myself how much I potter online as I have 2 massive deadlines due over the next 2 weeks for uni alongside work etc

Might see you later on or next weekend. Please keep me on the list as I will pick things back up when I get this over and done with

I'll be doing bits and bobs to tick off in the breaks and not drown under sheets and sheets of paper

Pigpen even we know you would have only booked a 24th December appointment as a last resort !!!!!! do they not understand that lol
Doozergirl hope you feel better soon and good luck
Mumto5 hope you get sorted
Toochoosey I wouldn't stand for that, was there a notice of £10 fee for not providing it on time when you took cover. Email them it as proof it's on its way again and I would shout at them, a lot!
Julie hope he's feeling better soon, I've known my boys to fake illness because they wanted to do something at home like play a game or finish a library book
Rachelet ouch!!!! Hope you're better soon
Mooloo get well soon too
Fedup good luck
Pollybear ((hugs)) I don't know how you feel as we still had Luke when we lost smegs but I did feel lost without her. Have you got friends with pooches or are there people lasting? X
Cat_smith maybe allocate coats not being used to wardrobes? Or clear some old ones out? We had a rough collie when I was growing up', I remember the blanket of fur on the carpet when we came back from a short break away. Did you ask them to shave him? Sometimes just a good groom of the undercoat can make a massive difference.
Furball he sounds like an FW to me
Hex I struggle with the clutch some days too but we've had an autotragic and I didn't much like that either, I like choosing when I change gear
Wilf I know it wasn't a lot a week but that amount hanging over isn't nice, bet you feel relieved! Hope the visit and improvements go ok
Greenbee, things will settle eventually when he makes her become more Independant I am sure. Hope he's finished soon and it's sorted for good.

Well no call or message about the note I sent, it wasn't nasty but it certainly wasn't pleasant. Highlight that (even though she is a complete cow) Ds1 needs to be believed and there is no reason to doubt him, that he may mention it at more stressful times etc.

Flying today so far consisted of - dragging vacuum around, dishwasher, washing machine, drier, clean grill, bimbled about to tidy generally, small shop from co op, read a bit more of course guide, helped DP with his coursework (piece of p*** for me' but he was finding it a challenge and his tutor is ****)

I've found out today my courses don't start until beginning of Feb, just the online stuff opens on 17th etc.....so I'm now debating head start or housework....

Not done:

Living room vacuum
Hoover over sofas

Oh, I thought it was more than that.....argh. Now I feel I can't kick back leaving so little undone

I'll do it before bed I think....start the week right.

Have to say...just doing the outside widows as well as the inside in the hall and living room only has made me feel a lot better. Bit silly now, with all the rain ...but at least that one bit of bird poo has gone and the cobwebs that were appearing over the window above my froont door. There is a window upstairs in the hall I can't reach and it looks dreadful.

Evening all

Hugs to the poorlies and those recovering.

Another quiet day at work today ~sigh~ I was going to mop the utility area floor this evening but as it's started absolutely piddling with rain I don't think I'll bother - it'll only get mucky again as the animals traipse in and out.

toochoosey

Thanks Lil_me, Yes there was notice of the £10 charge BUT I had sent it on time, it just didn't get there....not MY fault I would have thought ??!?!?!?!

I have emailed them another letter and am awaiting response(Took me a while to work out how to scan and then attatch it in an email!!!

mummyyof5

All list done except windows as too dark when I got back from Toddlers,will do in the morning before I head into town to pay CT.

Have attempted to make appointment at Excema clinic for DS1 but need to talk to dermatology nurse first...I managed to get the number but phoned 3 times and no answer so will try that again tomorrow too ....I have been putting this off as I hate going...should be used to it as he has been going since 3 weeks old...he is now 16...he hasnt been for almost a year as they never change his treatment anyway but do need to fill in his DLA again so needs must.

DD1 cooking tea ..only a fryup but will have to redo kitchen as she is a messy cook.

Also DS1 and 2s wraps as per normal.

Feel very headachy as hardly slept last night...think I was worrying about the excema appointment...stupid me....so will treat myself to a long bubble bath later...cant wait.

Sorry only had chance to skim thread so Love and hugs as needed..please help yourselves.

OOOHHHH and big thanks to all at FCC....my house loves you all

Mollinagirl (((hugs)))poor you. Hope you feel better soon. take it steady, don't over do it and you had better listen!!!!
sad dog lady fraid the others are right - coat hanger and rubber gloves - better still make DS do it! you need a force of water like the hose.
AnW'sMum you kept that quiet - if had known about the tax return...........................:rotfl:
holly nice to see you - I was thinking I hadnt seen you for a bit - maybe my memory is going - hows the business coming along?
somethingsgottagive welcome to the thread - will send you a pm shortly - decluttering and putting things back after use makes life so much easier. stick with us and do what you can from the lists and you will soon notice the difference.
Dusty forgot to say that I managed to do 18 ebays and 1 has a bid

To all the newbies - dont expect miracles - it wont happen overnight - also if you dont finish a list forget it and move on the next day - at least for the first couple of weeks - if you are always playing catch up you will get disheartened - the rooms will come back around the following week and as it all gets easier with time you will find you are doing more and more each week.:D

AND when the list says wash windows - it means on the inside!!!!!

been for my appointment but it over ran so I missed the bus I wanted by a minute! had to wait an hour for another - no matter I managed to chat to my lovely OT.

raining here but expecting [STRIKE]snow[/STRIKE] sleet overnight I think. that should make a fine mess!

Making progress. Managed to go to Oxfam with all the stuff and still have a NSD.

Hoovering and clearing living room, and cleaning fire place still to come. Rest will probably have to wait until tomorrow as OH on way home. He's just phoned to ask if we can have guest tomorrow night. Now I'll HAVE to clear Dining Room table :eek:
