    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

  • Well, I opened my oven yesterday and nearly gave up before I'd even started:eek: But today is a new day and DW is on and I've cleaned the oven:j

    DH hoovered through on Sunday evening so I just need to mop the kitchen, hall and lounge floors - I think I can manage that!

  • Morning all - cheering you all on from my sickbed today (don't worry it's only a bad cold - bad enough to take the day off work - but think I'll survive it!) AF brings me a cold every month as a kind gift and I usually manage to carry on through it but this one is a lot worse than usual. Doctor assures me it's nothing to do with AF - it's just a co-incidence that they arrive at same time. (This is the reason I never bother going to the doctor any more - grr:mad:!)

    However, just reading about everyone working hard is exhausting me. I did nothing yesterday and have been gearing myself up to spraying my oven with something evil today but may have to have a sleep first! Aiming to do at least one thing from today's list and yesterday's (although as I'm in bed I could usefully declutter my bedside table instead).

    Maybe later - anyone who wants to join me for a HHN (Half Hour Nap) is welcome. Happy cleaning everyone else...

    Hiya
    Just popped on to say i'm home and a massive thank you for all the good wishes - it's lovely to know so many people care. I'm spending most of my time in bed sleeping still and on antibiotics for another 10 days but each day I feel a bit better. First thing i did when I got home was light a purple candle for Diva and she'll be in my thoughts on Friday. Massive hugs to you all x x

    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.
