Hi All

I haven't caught up for [STRIKE]days[/STRIKE] weeks but have had a skim thru & spotted this ...


Thanks Ruth nice to see you back .. I still have you on FB but you don't appear on there very often I'm still here, not too great but coping .. latest scan showed more growth, not what I was hoping for but not much I can do about it ... as pigpen says I am moving in 2 weeks ... not my wish to move, but needs must.

I can't do much physically anymore & I was gutted not to have enough 'spoons' to go to sexy's wedding reception .. I had been looking forward to that for months. Thanks for always being there honey xx

Keep positive Lady L. I missed you when I wasnt on here and miss you even more now I am and you're not (or rarely).

Dont know what else to say except :kisses3: You have been a rock to many here; now it's our turn for you.

Afternoon guys - feel like i haven't posted for ages but we've been ticking and flying along nicely these past few weeks... My PGP/SPD means that I'm only able to do housework and other chores for 10minutes at a time before needing to take a break but DH has been shockingly supportive... he cleaned the downstairs windows for me (they're not perfect but 99% of the rain spots and dirt has now gone from the insides and outsides so they look much better) and he washed the kitchen floor, he did leave three DH sized footprints on the lino but even he was amazed at how dirty the water was when he finished so he now understands why it needs to be done twice a week.

In my 10minute slots I'm managing to dust a room and check a hotspot, or vacuum a room. Probably not the ideal time to start stripping wallpaper ready for decorating but I want the bedroom sorting out for where baby will sleep come her appearance mid July!

Decluttering isn't really happening at the moment - I'm struggling to find a healthy balance between stockpiling food staples (pasta, pulses & other long life products) for use during my maternity leave and shopping for what I need (and storing it). It does seem much harder this time round.

Love, hugs and spoons to all. Cat.xx

Afternoon

Had a bit of a blonde moment was cutting DH's roll for lunch...in my hand. Knife went through the roll and into my hand - Luckily not the ubersharp knives. Looks like a nasty papercut and I was feeling a bit daft :rotfl::rotfl:
Or something similar? Fair play to you - thats a heck of a distance :j:j:j

Dippy - have they got any leads on the thieving scumbags? Do you have any ideas? It must be awful

Hi Nixie, no leads at the mo, mind you I haven't seen a policeman yet, they're suppost to 'phone back...but I'll not hold my breath.
I bought a trolley and topped up my Oyster.

Sorry, I know I said I wouldn't come on here and chat, just do my lists, but I am a bit worried as have found a painful place on my breast. I've booked in to see GP on Friday but it seems ages away .

A year or so ago I found a painful lump, turned out to be a thing called 'breast mice', weird, biopsy was clear, still lay on it sometimes at night.:o Good luck for Friday.

On a lighter note;

don't forget tomorrow is...

STAR WARS DAY...

Have had a good go at the kitchen - the toaster had the deep clean this week, and it needed it:eek: All surfaces sparkly. Floor not done cos my knee is a bit dodgy but I'll have a go at that later.

Lovely to see you Lady L, sending you lots of hugs and love

Off to a$da in a minute to pick up Ashia from work and perhaps pick up a few bits.

5 children away to KH's for dinner... He had a strop because I said DD3 shouldn't be in the front.. there was a space in the back where it is infinitely safer, so she goes there obviously... oh, apparently he doesn't argue any more.. good news for me.. I shall be demanding he lets me know when he wants them over the summer holidays by the end of the month or I shall be telling him when he is having them and telling him not to lie and say he has nit combed the children when they all tell me that he didn't! I much prefer people not to argue.. makes my life so much easier!

Done very little today as was out of the house at 6.45 with 2 kids. To childminder via post office as I absolutely HAD to collect a parcel today or it would have gone back to sender. Long very unproductive day at work, so I minced off a bit early at 4.30 and got kidlets early. They were in a fab mood so managed to start dining room while they were playing in the playroom very nicely for 3 and 14 months!

Cookery books back on shelf instead on one of the dining chairs under the table and dining table clear apart from fruit bowl, which is supposed to be there! I need a bigger on though... More expense...

Will do washing up when they are in bed, cook tea, then have a better go at the dining room. The cookery books were the elephant in the corner so now they are done, the rest will come easy I reckon. OH is now a bit wild eyed at my efficiency, I've spent 10 years being a slob, so 2 days of tidying in a row has actually upset him slightly? Just had my cleaning lightbulb moment, I think...

Thanks for the inspiration!
