    Morning all! Only a couple of hours of work planned for me today - 1 hr with clients and the other hour I might actually start sorting out last tax years receipts for the tax return. I might actually put in to place an accounting system!!

    I've got bootcamp this morning ... I started it 9 days ago and have already lost over 12.5 inches - couldn't walk for the first few days but "no pain no gain"

    I woke up at 7 to find that DD1 had already made the lunchboxes, done herself breakfast, got washed and dressed and poo picked the garden!! How cool is that?! DD2 on the other hand got out of bed the wrong side and is "not feeling well" ... I'm not convinced I'm afraid.

    I'm going to sort out the washing mountain and 2 hotspots today plus at least level 1 of fly lady.

    Hope everyone has a GRRREAT day and sending big (((HUGS))) to all those who want/need them x

    Essexgirl - I'm with you on the feeling ill side. I was exactly the same yesterday - had to pick the children up from school early and call in reinforcements (my Mum!) bless her she travelled 50 miles to help me. Feel SOOOOOOOOOOO tired today though.

    Only OS going on here today will be the dinner out of the freezer, as I'm as useful as a wet tissue. WM on - must unload the DW when I've done the school run and had a sleep. Pulled my shoulder getting out of the bath (ouch!) but the good thing is that yesterdays illness means I lost another few pounds - unfortunately I couldn't get to the WW meeting to be weighed for it though!! REALLY not with it. Loads of things I need to do - will have a sleep and then start with the 15 min blitz I think. At least I should get a bit done.

    Have a great day everyone. Good luck to RR's DD and Hester - best of luck keeping your patience!

    Morning All,

    Good luck to RR's DD for today. :)

    HH that's a bit cheeky trying to finagle an invite to your wedding, but it did make me lol.

    nmlc & Essex I had that bug on Monday, happy to report I am feeling much better today :)

    Plan for the day is cleaning clearing and organising, I am feeling really overwhelmed by this house and the state it is in, and want to get stuck in. I thought I had a funeral this morning, but its tomorrow :o So glad I checked my calendar that would have been embarrassing; its well seeing my head is up my backside atm. :(

    Have a good day all, Bitsy hope you got some sleep and NPM hope you are OK too.

    Hugs all round, help yourself!

    Morning everyone,

    Washing is out, children off to school with packed lunches and I am now at work.
    I have got to ask for a day off to take DD1 to a dance exam (the exam is in Manchester and we live in Nottingham!). I am not looking forward to that with all the threats of redundancies, I think it will be difficult.
    Tea tonight is something with sausages- any suggestions?
    Get well soon to all of the poorlies and to everyone else have a lovely day.:)

    , I am reminded of my late ma-in-law 'Sun before seven, rain by eleven'

    I know that saying as "rain before seven, dry by eleven" which is pretty accurate apparantely due to the average size of most rain clouds in the UK :)

    Now I have bored you all with my random and useless facts I shall say good morning :)

    DS slept through last night. And just typical I tossed and turned and when I did sleep apparantly I was snoring like a tropper thanks to this horrible cold :o Can't get hold of this Slumber Milk anywhere so we just gave him a cup of warm milk before bedtime - still took him til after 9.30pm but hey ho. He's got a new reward chart starting so hopefully that's more of an incentive for him. I think I will stick to cocoa at his bedtime as I think he prefers his hot chocolate.

    So still tired here and feel a bit carppy but life goes on. My mum is coming round this morning for another sewing session :)

    Having to keep an eye on the cat as she fancies the baby blue tits in my bird box :eek: If she frightens the parents away littlies die of starvation and I am not getting rid of any more baby birds :o

    OS today well really depends on how I feel TBH :o Need to clean the bathroom, washing is nearly all up to date so the rest is just dusting and general cleaning.
    Tea should be a makeshift as I ought to be going to tap but I cancelled.

    Redruby - Break a leg to your DD today :D

    Julie - Had to read twice about your diaphragm :o I thought you were on about having a bloke round to replace your birth control :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hugs for all of you suffering with this nasty tummy bug.

    Hugs and spoons all round. Have a good day OS or not.
