Morning,
Good luck with the exam G&B.
Had a quick S&S of the kitchen, much easier job after yesterday. Breakfast pots all away and last nights baking trays done.
I've started on the hallway - I have a really dodgy looking shoe box thingy which really needs to be removed but don't want to replace it at the moment. I will have to design some sort of washable cover for it, will have to see if I have any suitable old curtains stored away, or a trip to the CS perhaps. The airing cupboard needs a sort out anyway.
Will do a quick hoover just before I go to the job centre - DS is in bed and he didn't get home from work until 1.30am so he needs his lay in, he's back at work later.
Need to sort out some paperwork for the appt this morning so will be back flyiing this afternoon - hopefully.0 -

Morning all, thanks for all the hugs. I'm feeling abit more on top of things eventho my sleep is still up the left.
Plan now is get kids up, fed and dressed. I need to get a new password today for my online banking, i'm total lost without it. Library books are overdue.:doh: Need to get DD's and DS2 glasses fixed and lift me own, mine been there since January.
Rhys has his appointment and i need to go to chemist aswell. Then if i have the time i'll take the kids to the shopping center to exchange there games. Need to get Joey some food too.
House isn't looking too bad and the washing line is full already so hopefully they will be dry when i come back. Loads to do today, hope everyone has a great day.
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.:j :j0 -
Morning all. Hope everyone's ok, I'm trying to stay away from the computer atm. As I mentioned before, the weekend was spent with yet another 3 day crazy aura based migraine (no pain just horribleness) - goodness knows why these seem to be getting more regular, maybe I'm menopausal, but surely 43's a bit early for that? I might slip along to the doc's for a discuss.
Anyhow, please please forgive me if I'm not up to date on what's happening with folk.
Spent yesterday having a blitz in the bedroom. Flung to charity shop several huge piles of magazines and a load of books I will never read again, or that have gravitated into my bookcase. I *know* I should have saved the books for selling on Amazon but they were all worth less than a penny when I looked, and I know I should have ebayed the magazines, but tried that in the past and it cost me in the end. Kept MIL's vintage mags, because they do sell at a reasonable price, (thanks to the FL who suggested that) but these ones simply don't. Bedroom now looking much more uncluttered, and am going to press on today. Bit worried it's post migraine euphoria tho, and I'll regret it all shortly, my judgement seems slightly off after a migraine.
I'm off to find a list....
