Count me in this week please, and thank you to Piggers and Toots for keeping us all under control..
Just catching up on the thread from last week before I jump in this week…
Serena hope you had a lovely time in France last week …
Mumto5, ouchies on your hand honey. Do you know how long you are going to be out of action with it? I hope the family are looking after you too..
Pjjjx hugs sweetie, hope you are okay..
Mrs B you poor love, you take care of your bruises and yourself hon.
Raphanius huge hugs honey, so sorry to hear about your sad loss.
Greenbee how you doing honey, huge hugs sweetie xxx
Dusty can I ask what are wineberries? Happy Birthday honey, hope you had a lovely one and got thoroughly spoilt
Jinks - welcome back sweetie, good to see you here. You couldn't keep away from us could you..lol
Even while I have been gone, I have been a super duper flylady:D
PenPen Happy Anniversary honey, here's to many more xx
Sockdrawer you are terrible, I just bookmarked those blog sites you posted last week. At this rate I am going to drown under the “old style” blogs I have bookmarked and now crafting ones..lol
Blimey piggers is it really 2 years since KH went, it doesn’t seem possible that it was that long ago..wow how time flies.. So glad you have finally got the house, that is one thing off your mind now.
Oooh LW let me know how you get on with your varifocals.. I took delivery of mine on Saturday and I must say I am surprised at how easy they are to get on with. I’m even surprised how easy I am finding it is to read with them. And now dizzyness either, especially as I was expecting some after people kept telling me I would be dizzy etc..:)
[QUOTE= toottifrootti;41098442]I need more energy, will power in general but need to lose weight (doctors orders), someone to care for me, to straighten out the rubbish in my head, make my life fun again and ..................... lots of things![/QUOTE]
Oh honey if I could wave a magic wand over you and make everything just perfect I would do, you deserve nothing better.. I would love to help you in any way I can, if I can be of any help please let me. Heck even if it’s anything silly I don’t mind..maybe it will help me too. I just wish I didn’t live the other end of the country from you. I also hope today went okay with mother, and wasn’t too tiring or strenuous for you. Xx
Shysarah brilliant news on returning to work, that’s really good, you must have been working so hard honey and look how far you have come. I’m so pleased for you.x
Mumto5 how is your hand, it sounded nasty when I read what had happened..ouchies..
Sending lots of positive vibes to Mudders, hope you are okay and recover quickly honey. Xx
Sexy I’ll pop a text through to you tomorrow morning so you know if you have the right number or not.. I don’t think I changed my number, oh wait I did change phones and provider about a year or so ago and did get a new number. Maybe that’s it.
Happy Belated Birthday greetings Choccybix, hope you see this hon.x
How is Rhys doing Vanilla honey, any better this week? Xx Hopefully DS2 hasn’t got the same chest infection ..
Neaveah so sorry to hear about you having to give up the dog, but it was the sensible thing to do. Hope DD is okay now.. Well done to the breeder for being responsible and taking the dog back.
Triker huge hugs and love..
I’m sure I’ve missed something/someone, so sorry – will catch up tomorrow with this weeks thread..
Saw my psychologist for an assessment today and I must admit it was rather harrowing and draining – he has decided that the Stairways group will be intensive when I start next week so he doesn’t want to put me through one to one therapy until he feels I am ready.. I also have to work with my care worker in completing various tasks etc.. She will also be working with the psychologist and reporting back to him and getting ideas etc from him. We have a lot of work to do and a lot of time allocated – over 2 years if not more..eeeks!!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes last week, I felt so loved..

Toots - glad Mum visit went ok, hope you are having a wee resty now
Jinky - good to see you back
Triker - how painful is that, hope you are taking some parrots to ease it a bit
I have spring cleaned the bathroom tonight form top to bottom, I started to read a book on decluttering and it starts with the bathroom so I went up there and done it, I washed down the walls and ceiling and I stood on the bidet and washed down the light! Knew there was a use for Bidets!! Washed the ornaments and rearranged several parts - we have a big bathroom - it looks lovely in there and its the first of the rooms to be done over the following weeks and I'm being ruthless about chucking out the carp
DH is home now after a 14.5 hr shift so see you all tomorrow
