    MrsC You can have some of my time. I feel like I've been up forever. DH crowbarred me out of bet at 0600. Have dealt with 2 frogs and a hound walk and I can't believe its only 1030.

    Anyone got any spare hugs and spoons at about 1200 - going to be quite difficult thinking of sister. Although did manage to organise champagne and a card to get to them.

    That's the sitting room done apart from the vaccuuming - DH is installing the new bath with our friend the plumber so I can't ask him to do it yet.

    I now need to attack the kitchen which is suffering a bit from me being incapacitated. I think I'll make it a HHC from 10.45 if anyone wants to join in.

    That's very kind and generous. Will be thinking of you and sending coping vibes.

    I have now booked a hotel room, apologised for the missed hairdresser's appt and asked for a new one :o and made an appt to take cat to the vet's tomorrow. Not bad. Need to get the DSs doing something productive, though.

  • Well done on the weight loss kaz, that's brilliant. What have you been doing?

    jue - your poor feet! I'd recommend fitflops, they are the most comfy things in the world!

    DD is frantically flying as I promised I'd take her to Debenhams to look at prom dresses once her room was tidied to my satisfaction :p;) Quite amazing what she can do once she puts her mind to it.

    I'm absolutely raging as I've just had a big row with 3 mobile over DDs mobile contract. The shop will be getting a visit on the way to Debenhams. They wont know whats hit them :mad:

    12) Brush up paths.
    13) Weed said paths.

    Right tractor outside so i best keep Bo in, so i think i'll go clear and clean the back hall.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
