Have twitchy-itis here - trying to rest my foot but not enjoying counting cobwebs. Have worked through all my dailies bar ironing - standing still doesn't seem a good idea, and the stool I would use for ironing is, er, laden with business paperwork which I can't actually reach. At least I always know where all my business paperwork is though! However, resting does seem to be working - although I am also finding the resting means I need more sleep. [URL="javascript:void(0);"]
[/URL] More paperwork from RoD decluttered to the recycling bin too.
ShySarah - will be thinking about you tomorrow - sounds as if you have lots of excellent support, and I look forward to hearing all about your day.
LittleMissHappy - bet you can't wait to be feeding that smoked salmon to your cat.Work is not my Hobby0 -

Been at my voluntary job the past 2 days and visiting my cousin who is still in hospital. Im doing a mixture of meeting and greeting and sitting with patients at the minute. So cracked on today and got quite a bit done.
My new neighbour came and fixed my security light so Im pleased thats done.
Welcome to all the newbies.
Dippypud. That was really funny about the kittens.
jjeff Congratulations on the Uni place. Well Done.
vanilla Hugs for you and DD.
Shysarah. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.0 -
cyclingyorkie - have you got any stone circles or anything near you - human presence made me think of our ancestors. Get some good landscapes in then too.
Be good to find something positive, we have quarries reclaimed as wildlife lakes
Or close ups of tyre tracks.
Or (and okay it's a bit artyfarty) if you get really close to wet tarmac ... it's quite pretty, especially if you can get the water droplets on it.
LittleMissHappy Kitty will be home snaffling the smoked salmon before you know it.
ShySarah tomorrow will fly by and it'll be funI always find the anticipation of a thing is nothing like what it actually is.
Mrs_B try the games on the tetley tea site - if you can beat the sugar cubes past level 34 you're better than me
LW sounds like Dilly's having a nice visit
mummyroysof3 healing vibes for your little ones.
Well I went to do me horsey lesson this evening and poor horsey is Lameno lesson for me. But at least I got to go be around them and that helps calm my anxiety for what ever mad reason.
Cold has developed into a choking gland thing. Cant swallow
The top of my bedroom chest of draws has turned into a terrible hotspot. I have a picture with broken glass and the tops off the proporgator and god knows what else. Muuuuust sort it. Need to find homes for things.
The Lady knows we need a BIGGER house. There is not the room here for us. But the house size we need is like £200k in this area (even more closer to paulie's work)and everyones saying you really need a 20% depost to get a mortgage accpeted:eek::eek::eek::eek: that's like £40K
theres no cash in this house and our teeny savings is nothing like that.
!!!!!!it!!!!!!it!!!!!!it"I know that Prince Charming doesn’t come save me, we save each other and fight back to back against all comers that’s what marriage is to me. Nothing passive, no being carried off on a white steed, give me my own damn horse and lets ride into the sunset side by side." - Laurell K. Hamilton.0 -
I am so in the zone and it helps that dh is out for the night BUT I may have to call it a day now as I am in a bit of discomfort that is bordering on pain and it probably didn't help that i carried a microwave from shop to home (my last one conked out on me after eight years just last week and seeing as I am using up leftovers, it seemed a sensible idea at the time)
I have 9 items remaining to complete (although I had recently done a lot of the bedroom stuff at the weekend which is what put me on track nothing to do with being a super power as much as I would love to believe i am. my wings are still very small and I am still learning to fly) which i should be able to chip away at thru the week alongside other things that are on offer to complete.
well done to everyone for your efforts and achievements.am treating myself to a small amount of caffeine now... before putting the laundy out to air lol
