  • Happy Birthday Rhys :bdaycake:

    Cat Spoons winging there way to you.
    MUMof2 glad to hear the appointment at the GP's went well at the Dr. Is it the fear of how you will cope when OH is gone that is making your aniexty rise? As toots as said try to start planning positive stuff to do and then th two weeks will fly past.
    ab7167 I dont think you were being horrible and your reaction was understandable but maybe if you and OH sit down and discuss the matter further when you ae feeling a little better.

    No really flying done today other than dailies as Im struggling to walk today, I really do need to make an appouintment to see my GP to talk about pain management but I feel like such a hyprecondriac.

    I need to get DS to strip his bed tonight so that I can get OH to put fresh bedding on as DD did hers the other day as sh got new bedding.

    i have been extremely lazy this week although dh has been home and done nothing so i refuse to feel guilty. the good news is that i have now left work - for good!! the weight lifted off my shoulders is amazing. :) got loads of paperwork at home to sort still but that will be done in amongst the chores. better have a look at what is on mondays list... lol I think i will be doing level one in all the rooms and then building to level two as and when i feel up to it. i have 20 mins til my lunch is ready so will see how much i can get done in that time..
    oh, and cat is poorly again. pah!

    well in my HHC I cleaned the kitchen and put the BM on. I then attacked the bathroom

    Thursday - Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
    Level One
    [STRIKE] Clear floors of guff and stuff
    Clean baths, toilets, don't forget the outside! and sinks[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Level Three
    Wash your bathroom mats
    [STRIKE] Wipe down tiles in bathroom.. defragment your pc while doing this.
    Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins! [/STRIKE]
    sweep and mop and deslop the floors in these rooms.

    I will vacuum the floor when I do the rest of the house later, no point doing it until DD1 is back from school.
    Lunch is now decluttered and BM should be finished soon.

    Going to go put WM on and put all the non ironing clothes away (pj's/underwear)

    Happy FLYing all xxx

    Thanks. I don't know why the anxiety is so high right now; I've coped before with DH away and I love the fact I have the house to myself and when I clear up it stays clear ;)! I miss him as do the kids but we find the time whizzes by. I'm going to definitely plan some lovely things to do :)


    Grobag has gone so I'm now £5 richer :j - think I'll treat us all to an ice cream on the way back from school.

    Just about to sort washing and take clothes upstairs and then S and I are going to attack the garden!

    Hoovered the office
    Dusted the shelves

    Hi all

    Happy Birthday Rhys.

    Ab7167 Mr LW used to be self employed, so I understand where you're coming from. I'd be inclined to sit down with a big sheet of paper and write down all the pros and cons, all the advantages and potential disadvantages, and discuss, discuss, discuss. Things like having a "Plan B" if it doesn't work out as intended, all that sort of thing. Whatever you and hubby decide to do, very best of luck!:o

    Every day I seem to be worried about something and feel like a bomb about to explode for want of a better word. Think I need to listen to my relaxation tape. I constantly worry DH doesn't love me (I know he does), people don't like me, I'm a pain etc etc etc. The depression is definitely lurking again after I stamped on it so firmly 5 months ago. Happy days :(
    ((((Mumof2)))) You're not my long-lost twin, are you? Other than the bit about the relaxation tape (they just make me cross, rather than help me relax, lol), you could be describing me there! If I don't have something to worry about, I worry because I must've overlooked something! Sound familiar?:cool: Anyways, all that waffle is basically to say I fully understand what you mean, and to offer a bit of support.:o

    I'm cheating a bit on the "half-hour of me-time" item on the list (again):whistle: Ted's arrived, so I reckon I can count my half-hour of him belting round the garden and generally having a whale of a time, because it's great to watch him, and play with him, and he's such a lovely little chap, and very interactive with people. Lol, he's "helped" me with my HHYoga as well - I mean, I really needed an extra paw on the Wii Balance Board! He's dozing in front of the patio door at the moment, gathering his strength for his next little dotty session!:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I'll join you - need a mad moment in the kitchen before the school run..

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    LW~ sounds like Ted is a right little character, it is lovely weather to be out in the garden as well, lets hope it holds. How long is Ted with you?
