    No. Please listen to your body and have a rest woman. Bath, bed, the mess will still be there in the morning but you will have the energy to deal with it.

    More wise words :A
    Doing an extra morning tomorrow at the CAB. We are struggling to cope too penpen.

    Pants, isn;t it :( We're planning for the next round of funding losses, and are unable to find anything just now to replace it :( So much for the Big Society :(

    DH is in the departure lounge in Chicago, so I'm taking a cup of tea and a couple of just out of the oven peanut butter cookies to bed, and will make the most of my last night sleeping on the diagonal :rotfl:

    See you all tomorrow :A

    5. Wash all skiing stuff (coats/salopettes etc) and put away
    6. Start going through the pile of woollen jumpers that need to be washed - do a few each week. Now 4 to do instead of 6.

    8. Sort out things in attic and sell what I can or pass to charity etc
    [STRIKE]9. Sort out S’s drawers to see if anything I can pass on for Robbie[/STRIKE]
    10. Sort out Z’s drawers

    Last night for me too PenPen so I've got clean sheets!

    Just going to finish the kitchen and head up. I've done well today, bathroom, landing, master bedroom and DS1 bedroom all done.

    Evening all

    Another day at the factory, another $ earned ;)

    Been farming this evening and planning the planting for optimal harvesting by Miss A tomorrow afternoon ;):D

    We have just watched the inside the human body prog on the beeb, fascinating and I have just caught up on here.

    Found out that Quo ARE in Sheff this Dec, thought last night they were missng us out this time but my very good friend made some good suggestions for seeing them in Brum. But now we can see them a lot closer to home :D Miss A does not know yet, I want the tickets booked before I tell her. Not on release until the weekend.

    Better get farming before bed calls.

    Sounds like a good plan pigpen

  • Been up since sparrow fart...why am I still awake?

    Never mind...

    Jobs for tomorrow

    Vacuum upstairs and down
    Make bed
    Empty DW
    Empty & wipe sink
    Um...

    Erm....

    Oooooh....

    That's all folks!


    (In truth there are probably a million other things to do, but I really CBA to even think of them, never mind do them)

    Stuffit, I'm having a day off. Plenty of time to scrub floors over the weekend when I'm alone and bored/desperate.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Good morning :beer: DH is on his way home, and will probably be in Yorkshire by early afternoon :j I'm hoping to get my gardening done before the rain. I have that chewy frog to deal with, too :o but I have dealt with three of the things in the last 2 days :)

    Hex your right and i did just go to bed. Feel abit more refreshered today.:D

    Gonna get the kids to school then come home and make a start on the flying. Hubby should ring from 10 on and hopefully we won''t have to wait long on meds.

    Pigpen that's just awful that KH does this to his kids, he needs a good slap.

    Right i best shift my bum.
    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.
