Well - of the 14 items listed on freethingie, 12 have been spoken for.

4 things collected so far. I'm well chuffed.

I have cleaned the kitchen so that it is all sparkly.

It is so sparkly, I have told DH to go out for a takeaway tonight.

Thinking about all the fly ladies going through sad times at the moment x

lil_me

AnWsMum been thinking of you and the little ones today xx
Pigpen sorry to hear that lots of hugs coming your way and you DHs
Gratefulforhelp that's so sad, and a hat is a hat if that's what you can do so be it, thinking of you and your DH at this difficult time
Sunnygirl ((fluffy hugs)) for you too x

Oh so much sorrow why do beautiful people always have to hurt so much.

I've gathered some energy this afternoon after a blinding headache I went for a snooze while the boys were out. It's odd as it feels like whiplash headache but I think it's stress as I'm close to tears 24/7 at the mo with some things that are going on. Managed to tidy things a bit, you know those days when you've flung out 6 bags of stuff but nothing looks any better suppose it's just got too bad again. The dishwasher is done but needs refilling again, washer/TD the same. Just need to do that and get the fridge/freezer sorted and put some shopping away.

I'll do some more in the kitchen, try to get some laundry away this evening too. DS2s occupied catching up with 'wild at heart' he loves this programme, DS1 watching YouTube videos on armies and world war 2, the latest 'thing' so for now, after a screaming scratching match, 2 happy boys. I must must must try to find my diary, get it filled in and do my expenses stuff, at the minute if I lost my phone I'd loose everything so I need to get the diary I bought sorted

Has anyone heard from greenbee?

Xxx I best go do something while all is calm, love and hugs to you all xxx

Gratefulforhelp - thinking of you at this tough time.

And, do you have a Photobucket account? If so you can post photos that way.

Pigpen - heppy it was peaceful, sad that she's gone.

(((Hugs))) to everyone who is not at peace at the moment - there seem to be so many of you with troubles just now.

Well, my RoD is half a RoD! I have started a box of "papers that must be saved" - which is about half an inch full. However there are lots of bags of wool, bedding and the like, which are now stacked up 'cause I haven't sorted out the storage yet. And there's all my baking ingredients cluttering up the place. So, the recycling bin is fuller, the rubbish bin is fuller, the charity bag is fuller .............. but I haven't touched the desk, two sets of shelves or the wardrobe yet, and I have called it a day 'cause I have a headache and my back is aching. There was an extremely exciting moment when I found a lilac summer top which I always 'thought' I had bought, but ended up thinking I had imagined it! It's in the wash. At least I have enough things sorted now that I can pick up "a bag" and go through it without walking in and having no idea where to start. Mrs Dog has been supervising all day so is now crackered.

I would now like someone to present me with dinner on a plate ....... not going to happen so I've settled for a jacket potato, and I'm hoping there's some bacon to declutter from the fridge.

Water heater's on for a long soaky bath.

Try drinking cranberry juice, it's supposed to be good for cystitis.
