  • Hello - can I join in too? Though will not be posting much. But I'm a mucky lazy pup by nature and need to get some routine and have a cleaner, tidier house. So would be as well using your routine cos I certainly don't know better!

    Thanks for organising this and here's hoping to a tidier house by the end of the week.

    Daily reminder to self - no matter how much cleaning stuff I buy, house will only get clean if I get off my backside and clean it

    Second daily reminder to self - moving backside to clean house burns calories and contributes to your weight loss plan!

    Thanks for the support

    Back from cinema, Harry Potter was good, finally we got to see it, big tick in a box that.

    Hubby sorted out the drying of the bedding, has put the sheet and pillow cases back on and is now just airing the duvet cover before we put it back on.

    Hex2 sorry its very misinformed what the Dr's say re remembering that you'd got a bite, I had been bitten but 'forgot' because I'd gone loonytunes with the Lyme...anyway, DD1 reminded me that I had got bit and we had even taken a photo of the rash because I complained about it that much....but I'd forgotton. :eek:
    Many people are unaware that they have been bitten.


    Anyway, whatever happens hope you get...firstly some relief...secondly a proper, thorough diagnosis and relevant treatment. Huge hugs to you for being all stoic and all that, but remember, we're here for a good old, get-it-off-your-chest, moanathon whenever you like.:D


    Right off to find some food as I'm hungry.

    Thank you all at FCC :D

    I'm going to try to be in this week, if I can get my head on straight. I had myself convinced that I was at the job centre tomorrow morning for 9am...I'm not, its next week :o I'm surprised I remembered it was Sunday today :rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyways, I didn't get half the cleaning I wanted done, BUT I cleaned the shelves (my make shift larder), food cupboard & fridge out properly and inventoried the contents so I now know what I have in. However it has made me wonder what I'm going to do with 13 packets of lemon & corriander cous cous, 2kg of red lentils, 1kg of chickpeas, 1kg butter beans, 10 packets of boil in the bag rice, 6 packs of nut roast & 4 packs of dumpling mix :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Good job I still have meat & fish in the freezer :o*Mental note: No more Approved Foods orders!* :o

    Mon - DD possibly in a club after-school...don't know yet :mad:
    Tue - Work, DD school trip in pm, Brownies, grocery shopping (need to prep a list)
    Wed - College (9.30am - 2pm) Need a lunch at least with me, bonus if they supply something ;)DD VIOLIN
    Thur -
    Fri - DD swimming with school, Work PM
    Sat - in theory a baking day with DD but that was yesterdays plan as well....:o
    Sun - X here to take DD out.

    Monday done! What a teachers pet I am :D hehehehe I do need to whip round with the vacuum cleaner again tomorrow. It's intentional because I am at the hospital with DS2 tomorrow, he gets to tell his dental doctor he has smashed his caps and part of his tooth off! Well she does know, we bumped into her 2 days before Christmas but he doesn't know lol what a meanie I am. She's really nice so it should be fine, just means more procedures which he's a nightmare at! I'm going to try taking his MP3 player with him, see if it helps settle him.

    Thanks Brighton Belle, I'd kept forgetting to google pics of DPs skin issues and you reminded me, the GP has been worse than useless but you could copy the wiki picture of psoriasis on someones back and it would look like DPs, well apart from his is hairy. I shall pop on that site tomorrow I think.

    Well ok I'm going to kick DPs !!! with medical stuff so I shall kick my own too, I'm going to go about my back tomorrow as I'm getting the pins and needles down my legs so often now it's annoying. DP moans that when I go it's usually easing off, so tomorrow I shall make an appointment and go! I need to know what is happening with physio, I had 6 hydro sessions and not seen them since.

    Sooooo that will start this weeks must do within this week list

    2. Do application for funding for a group
    3. Finish my bedroom *gulp*
