    Everything done except 'me' time, which I shall have tonight (playing the sims!).
    Having problems with MIL at the moment, FIL died in Jan and she is starting to become too dependent on us, we visit her everyday and do lots of jobs for her. She constantly nags me and puts OH and our kids down. She has now announced she is coming round ours tomorrow and will stay the night! Told her no, I have a house full of children and work to do, but she has said I won't be any problem and is still coming round! It is really getting me down, but I do feel sorry for her and try to put up with her for the sake of my OH.
    Thanks for letting me moan, it has made me feel better just typing it out! At least she won't be able to nag about my house cause it's tidy for once!

    :hello:Hi to all my flylady friends!!

    I have been pottering about flying today - mostly all morning, and have now done the kitchen, cloakroom, hall and living room - all the downstairs!:D Very slowly, with lots of rests though.


    I went into town briefly this afternoon with DD - feel very self conscious at the moment, as the dressing is off, and so my 4 pretty blue stitches are on full display - I had some very interested kids yesterday again, but they've been very supportive.

    I rang the surgery this morning to make an appointment for DD, and was told she had to ring herself (I tend to do it as she's not an early riser!) which is fair enough, but the receptionist was really abrupt to the point of rudeness. Two hours later, DD gets a phone call from the practice nurse to ask why she hasn't made an appointment. So she told her why. Suspect receptionist may get slap on wrist.:D

    Love and hugs, especially to toots, lady-liberty and lamewolf.

    Hugs for boddy, I'll be thinking of you, and kaz as well on Sunday.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Is it time for wine yet????

    Perhaps I'd better wait til I've eaten - dough should be just about risen for pizza. Not enough butter to make scones though.

    Not that much flying been done here the last few days - felt lethargic all week really so I've just done the bare minimum. Saying that the house doesn't look too horrendous as I got loads done last weekend.

    Best go and sort my dough out or we'll never end up eating tonight!
