    Toots - how are you today

    Dad is getting grumpy [and he has been so good!] so he is either feeling p'd off with life as he knows it or is getting better!!! Mum has decided to cut visiting down to 2 hours a day as its just too much for her - she looks awfulHelen x
    hi helen I think it has to be good that Dad is getting grumpy:rotfl::eek: either of your reasons must mean he is recovering a little - I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers - and your Mum too - its good that she has realised she isnt superwoman and needs to take time for herself. Dad is not getting home this week so she needs to pace herself or she will be getting a bed there too!!!!:o I am plodding on thanks:A the chest infection has gone - just a lingering cough and fatigue (which I already had now its worse!!)
    lil me I hope wed doesnt end up too traumatic for DS or you (((hugs)))
    Triker hi honey - sorry to hear you have had a stomach bug - just what you didnt need - hope you are on the mend - but take it slowly pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!! how is hoppy? xxx

    seafarer you could have had a cleaner in.

    Quillion awh honey that is terrible news - I hope its the lesser of the 3 evils and they sort you out real quick - and get rid of the pain - be good and do as you are told - keep us posted if you can - dont worry about the house - you can crack the whip from the sofa when you get home - hope wee man isnt too upset - love and (((hugs)))

    pooh fingers crossed for the loan honey and it will make the lunch extra special if you hear in time (((hugs)))
    LameWolf naughty naughty:naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty: I know it is very easy to get carried away - you will have to rest now until you get more spoons - I aint giving you any 'cos you will only go and do silly things with them like housework:rotfl::p
    sockdrawer hope you get both the problems sorted as 'painlessly' as possible (((hugs)))

    bella thats a brilliant start - you should be proud of yourself - well done:T:T:T

    havent looked at the list yet but with the help of my challenge buddy I have done HHI:rotfl: pick yourselves up of the floor! yes I did actually 40 mins and then put it away as well. didnt go mad - did easy bits but 30 mins is my max I wanted to finish my clothes so only left bedding - the extra 10 wasnt easy!!!!

    had a leisurely trip to post office - got some cards and a another pair of pjs in primark.

    have my shower head off and soaking so that will be something else of the lists.

    my private dracula:D came just before I went out - I had forgotten to write it in my new diary!

    Hi all,

    Kittens had a major fight in the kitchen, fluff all over, in the process of which they knocked over the milk. :mad:

    Two pints do travel a long way, under the cooker and the washing machine, I'd done them earlier, little bu$$ers. :p:D

    So, the washing machine and the cooker have been cleaned on, around, under and behind. Also the DW is nearby so that got done as well. The 'fridge can go whistle, 'cos it's bigger than me, and it's got sloppy stuff in it, and I CBA to empty it today. :o

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    DD has done a fantastic lot of flying today - all sorts of odds and ends jobs. DS1 has washed up.

    I have been at work all day, decluttering a few of Spanish and French lessons.

    On the way home, I heard on the local radio news that the elder brother of DS1's best friend when he was at school, was found dead, two weeks ago, suspected drug overdose. Feel quite upset.He was just 24.What a waste. Must gather up my wits and courage, and write to his parents. We were good friends through primary and secondary school, until lower 6th, when friend also a bit involved in that scene, and as DS1 was still recovering, we drifted apart.

    Love and hugs.
