I have finished todays list, apart from the extras. Am hoping to do the fridge today but it's not that bad, so if I don't get round to it will just have to leave it until next time I am about to have lunch, then I will be hoovering the whole house and quickly whizzing over the bathrooms and children's rooms and also making banana cake as have two bananas that need using up.....Sounds like everyone is having a successful day, we just need to keep on swimming, keep on swimming, keep on swimming, swimming, swimming....(can you tell I had a child who adored Finding Nemo?!?!)!

Pop over to the Techie forum. They are great at getting the best out of pcs - I'm pretty sure the a/v shouldn't be using that much of the memory.

Might just do that but it is a very old machine (in pc terms) and only has a small memory, rather like mine! So I am not suprised that it is slow.

I need to do some flying now as I have decluttered lunch so need to get on. Going to have a quick chat with my challenge buddy first

Right.. finance spreadsheet updated.. I am still poor!! However, things look to be improving as debts shrink. I have this month to pay off christmas and then I am working on my Littlewoods catalogue.. it took some hammer this last year as I got the house sorted and needed to replace a few things.. like my bed ! :eek: I should have my Next paid off by May if I keep up my sensible payments. I also need to re-save £4000.. I used it as deposit for the car and it was not mine to spend.. *slaps own wristies* but we needed the car.. done now and we can if we need to transfer it from OH's credit card.

My overall outstanding debt has about doubled so there won't be any siggy updating for a while yet..

WM x 6 done
TD x 2 done
DW done
recycling and composting out
Binbag sorted for charity shop (my stuff)
OH emptied a box of his gibble from the bedroom

See.. we are very very slowly getting there!

I have a few calls to make.. which reminds me.. the church where I didn't want a baptism doesn't actually do baptisms so that is that one out of the question.. I do have another I can try so I'll give them a call shortly when I have found the number..

Baby down for a snooze so I may go do some knitting and peel veg for dinner and make her up some dinners for the freezer.. I think it may be time for weaning since she is screaming for everyones elses food and grabbing it from plates and hands and wanting to devour everything including faces and cats!! :eek: Then screaming in anger at not being given it!

Hello all; I'm in again, but not doing anything requiring standing on step stools and such like this week (if anyone spots me doing this, please yell at me).

Thankyou to FCC, and also thankyou to Miss Baloo for letting Piggers get the thread going early last night!:D

Helenjelly great news about your dad; I'll continue to send posi-vibes.:o

what do insomniacs usually do on a night?

• Read a book
• Do a crossword
• Grab the Nintendo DSi and do some Brain Training
• Wake up DH and.... oops, almost TMI there
• HHI (only kidding);)

I'm going to have to take it v-e-r-y steady today; I've been a silly Wolf and overdid things a lot yesterday, although some of it deffo counts as Flying. Yesterday I:

• Visited the Farmers Market with Mr LW - different one from normal, and had to put up with the wheelchair bumping over cobbles.... ouchy! Had to be done though, as we were virtually out of cheese, and I wanted bread flour also.;)
• Collected the last of my meds order from Superdrug - drug company have stopped making 300mg Moclobemide tablets, so had to get prescription re-issued for 150mg tablets (just taking twice as many), then Superdrug had to order them in.... a right c0ck-up, one way and another!:mad:
• Made quiche for our dins
• Made cheese straws
• Did the week's ironing pile, as Mr LW was busy getting the knob/latch holes drilled in the new lounge door - my left hand now hurts like bu88ery. (Mr LW usually does our ironing)
• Varnished one side of the afore-mentioned door
• Attended the monthly Moot - it was a Tarot demonstration, therefore very inter-active, so today I have major fallout from this, due to my social phobia.:eek:

So I shall do like I did last week - just do what jobs I can manage, add the next day's list to my Word.doc, and delete tasks done after I've posted. If anyone has any spare spoons, I sure could use some.:o:D

A warm welcome to our new Flyers.:wave:

Dusty thanks, I hope so, he's transferring to her husband in the same clinics who's very well known for CBT which we're going to try gently with DS1, I've tried not to dwell on here too much ad I can't mention it on FB as my Dad is unwell but he's coming out with a lot that is very suicidal at the moment which is worrying and very stressful. We'll get there I am sure

Not achieved hugely so far but I've flung some gibble while I bimbled around, fed us, phoned insurers who're phoning back,

Looked through one study calendar which starts on 5th February but the other calendar isn't released now until the 27th which is annoying as it said 17th all week so I made sure I was off. I've read some, I'm making a point of timing how long it takes me to read each part. This is the earliest I've ever looked at books and hope the timing helps me be more organised and know how much time I will need each week roughly. There is a lot computer based and statistics based on the biological psychology course, so I am pleased I have my stats study books. I've downloaded the first book onto my phone which means I can do reading on the go.

Ok, half hour in the kitchen 2.15-2.45 then need to get diesel before I collect Ds1.......
