    Morning all and welcome to Blue Monday sending you all love and strength to get through it :D
    Oh good! My plan is to get the ''receptions'' clean in the spring clean then lick and promise them through summer then. :) we have a new garden and its big, just over an acre. Takes me AGES to cut the grass. If I could train grazing animals not to eat the plants we're planting I'd get some lawn ponies or goats or sheep.

    I am very jealous, it sounds just lovely. I love goats but free range goats would be just chaotic.

    DH has been to IKEA in Tokyo from the picture he sent me. Not sure why yet as it's not his favourite place here :cool: Hope he is bringing me back a Japanese catalogue to add to my collection :rotfl:

    Cake eaten so time for a cuppa and then I'm starting my day with an hour of going around the house putting everything straight.

    Fence guy due here at 12 and it is pouring.

    Thanks for the lists and i'm back in this week.:D

    Saturday painting didn't go to plan the colour looks as tho someone has pooped on the walls so i'll have to go get another colour.:(

    Sunday we got an egg. :j:j:j:j:j:j Hopefully there will be another this morning.

    Kids didn't put all school uniform in the wash so i was up late getting them washed and dried. Then slept in this morning, so mad panic and we didn't get in until nearly 10 past.:o Bed at a reasonable time tonight.

    Right, I'm back in this week, and have to actually do it! Still feel rubbish (How does FMS continue to get worse...can't remember the last time I started a day without wanting to cry about the pain:(), but I have to get the flat looking tidier, because it's pretty much al I can offer at the minute.

    Starting with level one, then attacking the extras, then maybe play the pick'n'mix game with levels 2 and 3. Not positive of getting a great deal done- my right shoulder has gone on strike, someone's stolen all sense of balance and I can't stand up for more than 3 mins without my legs packing in too :mad:

    That may be it for today...Seem to have reached the end of the painkiller effect, and cant take anymore til 6pm! Long afternoon ahead :(

    In better news, my 5 pots of herbs are showing signs of life. Well 3 of them. Not sure which is which though.. the power of logical thinking deserted me the day I planted them and I didn't label them! Ah well, means everyday has the potential for a little surprise if they start to look like anything in particular:rotfl:

    Animals all fed and no eggs today, Joey running on his/her wheel so happy enough.

    Dw been emptied and reloaded, worktops and windowsil all cleared, clean washing all folded and wet washing over rads. Need to go get the bin emptied and put the glass bottles in the car for school run.

    Helen that's great news about your dad.
