    :rotfl: that tickled me :D I've got my accounts looming which makes my stomach churn when I think about them, so I'm trying not to, I'd rather clean too.

    I've decluttered some toast, a caramel wafer, a mini bag of cadburys fingers :eek: and a ciggie, wrappers in the bin too :A Got myself worked up and now I'm knackered, think I'll go to bed and try and snooze through the crane lifitng roof trusses outside :(

    Fluffy mule required!
    At best some motivation or possibly a kick up the rear end :)

    I'm tired, I'm not sleeping. My cold is still ongoing and I've pulled or ripped something in the side of my ribs. A sneeze results in a scream and coughing doubles me up and makes me whimper and I HATE it!
    Ibuprofen taken and have muscle repair protein shake to take when I can face it.

    I'm sat here feeling sorry for my self. I'm tired and that makes me think too hard and I'm emotional.
    AF hasnt returned yet and I'm a bit peeeed off with my body for not working right! I know I'm probably expecting too much.

    So what I neeeeeed to do is GET OFF MY BACKSIDE! and do "stuff"

    Muscles and headache should get easier if I'm doing stuff. I just feel too sorry for my self to do it. :(

    Sorry - I'm feeling like a right whinger :(

    :wave: Hiya to everyone

    I've not read all of the thread but well done to Juliejim's son for getting his bronze cub badge (and well done to Juliejim for sewing the badges on - a job I dislike!). Embb hope you get the work to your house sorted. Don't blame you insisting on moving if they don't do the work! Hugs to everyone but extra squishy ones to tootles and lady liberty.

    I feel lovely and relaxed as we had a weekend away with friends and my parents had the children and dogs. It was the first time we'd been away together without them and much as I love them to bits it was lovely!

    I'm starting to do a bit more work this week and going to see what I can do from the list so when I've done it i'll remove it from the list....

    Living room, reception rooms and hallway
    Declutter and brush floors
    Wipe gungy marks from walls

    Tidy coats, bags and shoes
    Dust and deweb
    Check smoke alarms
    Clean firesurround
    Wash ONE window
    Phone accountant
