Pigpen - Do the younger children have a friend each they could stay with for a sleepover, you could return the favour another time?Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together.0

No, DD3 wets the bed so noone wants her, Tiddles friend spends weekend with her dad so no room and moomin is out Friday.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
:wave:Waves feebly - I'm still here - honest!
DD1 seems to have recovered - I was so scared that there would be an ME relapse! Thanks for all the spoons sent our way....
Yesterday got progressively worse for me - and I was so glad I had started the medication. I nodded off during the Apprentice and went to bed at 9.30 - i got up today and got the kids off to school/work.....and then I rang in sick and went back to bed!
The next thing I knew it was 12.45!
I do feel substantially better for having had a good sleep this morning! May take tomorrow off as well depending on how i cope with the rest of today!
Luckily the GP I saw yesterday is a regular one - and she is committed to keeping me off the surgeons table if at all possible! Suffice to say that there is a Plan A, a Plan B and quite possibly a Plan C already on the table, none of which involve surgery!
DD2 should be home soon and this afternoon will be spent revising coasts! Wish me luck!:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -

When I first tried all this Flying stuff I realised some people were actually ahead on the week. There was me quite delighted to have slogged through Level 1 for Monday & Tuesday & people were posting that they'd finished Wed & were onto Thursday.
But now I'm a changed person. My house is on the OK side of tolerable - and I am up to date for Thursday and Friday!
Going for a spa day tomorrow - then ds is home for revision & exams & the house will disappear under a layer of books & papers. But as of now, & for the first (& possibly only) time ever ... I'm ahead on the Flying. Yea!!!!!!!0 -

Well so far done.....nothing.
Ok, had a shower, got dressed, cooked dinner, made lunch, but that is it. Nothing from the list. (Did dinner for midday but delayed due to collecting son so had lunch instead)
Was hoping to do something, however small this afternoon but middle son has come home ill from school and being autistic there is no chance of getting on with anything now.
Pigpen...Thanks for the tip. Not sure it would have worked as I closed the whole page somehow but worth knowing for next time I delete a whole message by accident!0
