Shysarah

Hello All,


How are we all.. Pigpen I agree with Mrs M ref your KH. I loved the chicken and cat comment tho it did make me laugh this morning. Big Hugs Helen, it seems like everything at once there. Just take it a day at a time and keep sharing here. Also Hugs to Mumof2 and Poohbear. And of course anyone else who wants one.

I did my bathroom on Saturday so it is still pretty sparkly. I will obv give it a quick once over to keep it going till next week but it does not need a lot doing.

Fallen right actually as I am going to see my sister this afternoon and having tea with her and her family before toddling off to my support group tonight. I had a rotten night last night, I must stop watching anything with babies in it as right now it is really upsetting me and not doing anything to help my mood. Keep flipping out and last night was very bad. Still it is passed now so must move on.

I must go get myself dressed and washed and have something to eat. Even those simple things right now need me to kick myself into action. Oh well.

Love, Hugs and Spoons
Sarah xx

Helen - Great big hugs for you, you sound as though you could really do with some. I've thrown a big stick over the cliffs so hopefully your dog will chase it.

Take care,

xx

candygirl How did you get on? I feel better for having done something. Two bathrooms cleaned and loo brushes left to soak. There was no rubbish to clear as DH did all that last night for bin day today.

Helen and louby hugs for both of you.
Helen can you find a little space that is just yours, with no tools sawdust etc? I guess probably not but when we have work here I try to make somewhere just for me, sometimes it is the kitchen
looby I hope you can get things sorted this afternoon when you speak to DDs teacher. Try not to feel bad

Just sending big cyber hugs to Helen, Shysarah and Looby-Lou.

what shall i do next windows? dusting? ironing?:eek:

Dusting is not worth doing until you can write your name in it :rotfl: ironing erm why? Fold and put away, only iron the absolute minimum you can get away with and think about the saving on electricity you make plus your reduced carbon footprint! So that leaves the windows but not sure on that either as then the world can see in! On the flip side you can see out and it makes your home a much brighter place

Why not declutter or kill a hotspot instead.

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH - AT BREAKING POINT

There is sawdust EVERYWHERE and DS is at home again with earache, Dad is still doing badly and I just want to sit and cry

Have a HUG and a breather. Just think about how nice it will all look once the floors are back down and the rest of the building stuff is finished with, baby steps.

Your Dad is the more important issue just now, you need your energy for your visits to him.


Well I have deep cleaned the bathroom and hoovered there and the landing and stairs so things are certainly starting to improve round here. I have done a 'bit' of farming as well More washing and drying has been dealt with so now I am going to have some lunch and declutter something off the HDD.

Went to town with a list today, so only just home. I get quite wobbly after going out so I would quite like to get back into bed and grind my teeth and shake. But I wont.

Today is DH 40th so I need to bake and ice a cake, pick up some food, clean bathroom, hoover ......... So HHBaking, followed by HHC. Then I get to unpack my new wool, sewing pattern and patch DS1 jeans.;)

Hugs and spoons.

Mumof2 - I'm not doing tooooo bad thanks
I've got nausea but no sickness using hairbands rather than travel bands And if I do exercise and eat regularly (OMG having to watch what I eat :eek:) it seems to hold off and I just get the exhaustion.
Doc says I have to exercise as much as possible. (past 2.5 years gone from a 10 to a 16 :eek:) so flying as energetically as I can :j followed up with some prenatal exercise dvds.

Finishing up the lists arent too strenuous (as long as no one mentions the spare room) after the first week, it's been much easier and DH is helping.

Just made bread by hand so now I deserve a cuppa
Must get meat out of the freezer and make burgers.
might and it's a big might finish off that ironing from yesterday :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

ETA: I'm not working at the moment -so I can take my time over things not overdoing it...yet
