Hi all

Not much flying this week as I'm shattered.

Dad has had his op he has just gone back on the ward.

Mum and sis not allowed to visit tonight so will update me tomorrow but at least its over - might be able to get some sleep tonight.

Hope everyone is ok

Hugs

It's no good - I've tried and tried to do it all on my own and just stick to the weekly thread posted on a Sunday but I can't do it. Even after only 2 weeks I'm slipping, the house is falling into CHAOS and I'm feeling down.

The result of this is I'll be back daily but I really can't post much; I feel very guilty but I'm finding I just spend too much of the day reading everyone's posts. If I have a quiet day that's fine but as of late my days are really full (started a beginners maths course, doing mystery shopping, paid surveys, got my typing job and helping at church as well as looking after the kids, the dog, the chickens and DH!)

Hi to any newbies who have joined in my 2 weeks absence

hi all

Well i have done ok this week so far (but have ignored kids room as usual) so today i am going to have a quick wizz around in all rooms as we have a guest arriving tonight - this is the thing with living in a touristy place - we have lots of guests coming to visit us, mainly they stay next door in the holiday cottage we look after - but as this is just a lone male (and old friend of DH) then he is going to sleep on sofa bed.... so i need to make sure the living room is clean and tidy,

so i am aiming for level 3 in all rooms (except kids) but will aim for level 1 in kids and to do their bedding whatever level it is on...


Plus i am cooking a number of curries for us tonight... and dd is off school ill - so i had better get on and get the DW on (WM nearly ready for putting out on line) and get off the laptop and get flying..

plus i still have some paid work paperwork to catch up on..

right HHC at 8am (and i need to make ds packed lunch before then)

That is absolutely allowed - doing the jobs is far more important than keeping up with the thread You have permission to post what you're doing, and not chat - we all know that you're not being rude :A

I say this as my life atm is :eek: :rotfl: :eek: :j:j :T so I'm not posting as much as I'd like - hugs and cake all round (sorry, can't do clipart on this computer)

I have friends round for real cake this afternoon, so need to whizz round downstairs, and iron :T

Take care, everyone :A
