    I'm in this week. Many thanks to Pigpen and Toots for keeping us all flying.

    Frodders - Thanks for the Soappie update.

    Greenbee - hope your cold is a short one and you feel better soon

    Right, I need to get on as DS3 is being picked up for tennis at 9am and nobody's dressed. I have to work this morning but can't go until DD1 gets back from the Doctors. More frustration with the doctors as I can't ring the dispensary to get a repeat prescription for DD2's asthma medication until 8.30 - the time of DD1's appt.

    DH is being troubled by sinus headaches every night. Every morning I come down to find a bowl of water and a towel where he has been steaming. I'm a bit worried about him, he's working very long hours and is under alot of work related pressure.

    Hope everyone has a nice day.

    Spoons being passed to LW and LL.

    Morning All,

    Hugs, Cuddles and Spoons all round.

    Feeling a bit yuck still. Had to see out of hours GP yesterday only to be told I have an ear infection and totally blocked sinus's. As a result I am a bit wobbly and slow but determined to get back on track today. This is my last full week off before going back to work so want to do my best and get lots organised.

    • My lounge has been dogged. Beds and biscuits everywhere! (we wont mention the fluff)
    • My lounge has been used as a dumping ground for the last of the sort out in the house. Boxes and bags in here.
    • My lounge has been used as a craft workshop (by me :eek:) and the WiP is still there.
    • My lounge show's the remnants of yesterday's PJ day (I'm poorly sick and bad) my dressing gown, slippers and dishes are still in here.
    • My lounge is being used as maternity ward, I have chooky eggs in the incubator (only looks like we'll get one outta 6 - I'm not so good at this mummy thing)
    • My lounge now has the worst hotspot in the house....
    ... my lounge now IS the worst hotspot in my house :rotfl::rotfl:

    OMG this is gonna take a while :o
    today the spoons are not limitless, but there's a few for those who'd like one :)
    Hugs are infinite if you need one - raise your hand, they make me feel better too.
    And if that black dog's around, tell him if he doesnt begger off I'll give him my cold and that's a whole world of Snot he doesnt want to get in to :rotfl::rotfl:
