    Just whisking through, mainly to send very warm wishes and hugs to shellysue, for your Dad.

    I've decluttered my four pretty blue stitches - still healing reasonably well, except for one little bit, but that should sort itself out by the end of the week, with a bit of luck.

    Flying wise, well, those who were at home today have done the recycling, the washing up, one load of tumbling, and started tidying the stairs.:D

    Love and hugs, especially for toots, and good luck with your move, also for lady-liberty, and lamewolf.

    Glad to hear you have got rid of the stitches ~healing vibes~ for the stubborn bit.

    *CAUTION*

    Skip this bit if you are squeamish.............

    I'm new to this whole thing...I just kinda stumbled upon it last night when browsing the OS forum, and being the kind of person who loves and thrives on routine (just like my 6 month old baby!:rotfl:), this got me really excited. If i don't have some kind of plan or routine to follow, i find that days fly by without achieving much, so this is perfect! Only managed to do level one today, with having to take the baby to the doctors and spending 4 hours at my mum's, but just clearing the bedroom floor of all it's clutter and putting it all away felt great :D

    Welcome and well done on your great start. All your questions should hopefully be answered in Posts 1&2 but if not ask away.

    Dancemum - I'm glad your Mum is home

    Vanilla - great news on DD doing well

    All of upstairs completely done apart from the shower cubicle which would have been done if I hadn't been up and down like a wh@res drawers dealing with DS3 who is really under the weather, cold/hayfever causing irritating cough and sinus pains in his face/teeth. Finally asleep after his anti-h, inhaler, cough mixture, ibuprofen and a hot water bottle! I need a stiff drink now but I'll finish my cuppa first ;)

    Shellysue - sending (((hugs))) and coping vibes your way.
    Holly - Hope your DS feels better soon.
    There comes a point when the brain cell stops working (in my case fairly quickly) and you are just sitting gazing into space - so shifted and flew.

    Given the result, maybe I should try studying. I'd never get the work done, but maybe we'd have a clean and tidy house. :D

    off to my machine

    Well done! What's your secret? The machine sounds intrigueing.

    Have made dinner and caught up with messages - that's all. Less sense of urgency this week as I'm on holiday from Friday and I've also been really tired. No break duty on Mondays anymore :j but I still worked pretty much non-stop 8.10-3.45 today.

    DS2 and I had pasta leftovers and DH/DS1 shared the stew I made last night, with some mashed potato (and sweetcorn for DS1). I also had some chocolate (and still want more :o).

    Another cuppa and then some more marking. Must also hunt for elusive paperwork (again) which I could do with for tomorrow. DS2 is hopefully finally asleep. He's full of cold and struggling, despite being dosed up with vick's and calpol. He's a good sleeper, so this is unusual.

    Hugs, spoons and sticks as needed, especially for LL, toots, LW and quite a few others, by the looks of it. x
