    How did you get on Sammiell?

    I effectively only really did my dailies (altered the post a few above this one to reflect it) but also ate a frog - am washing another 2 of DH's pesky woollen jumpers!

    Off to have coffee and chat with friends now; will be back later.

    well I'm in the bedroom today, but not flying, I was meant to be on a long day, got into work fighting rising nausea, and only just made it to the staff loos to be sick. So I've been sent home and can't go in tomorrow either as I need to be 48 hours clear. I feel pretty rotten and I'm going to have a kip in a bit. I'm just gutted that I'm going to have to go on Stage 1 of sickness review because I've had another 2 previous absences with D&V. I've never had a sickness record like this in my entire working life:mad:

    Morning.

    Hope you feel better soon Mamaninie. I'm also in bed still but nothing that unusual for me. I don't tend to venture downstairs until later in the day as I am in and out the bathroom so frequently and we only have an upstairs toilet. Still suffering from eating a bowl of Weetabix so feeling a bit icky as well. Looking around me at the master bedroom and wondering where on earth I am going to start :(

    Good morning :D

    So far today I have stripped the bed & loaded the WM, loaded the DW and DH & I have taken the kids to school & walked the dog. He is on a work call now, so I will hang out the washing & update my lists. He is off for the next 2 days & wants to get the garden sorted. He is also wanting to take the kids camping Friday/Saturday to try out his new tent :) I will HAVE to stay home (with TV, internet, comfy bed & private toilet facilities!!) because of the dog :rotfl::rotfl:

    I have chased the roofing guy (son of my friend). Will still haven't had rain (barely an inch I reckon in about 2 months!), but when it comes I want to be sorted :(

    I am off to hang out the washing now :)

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    Been busy this morning. Made DD's packed lunch, and ironed her school cardigan after clearing up the mess she made 'cleaning' the worktop off to prep breakfast/lunch, lets just say the floor is half mopped! Since I got back from the school run I've done lots of washing, and straightening up.

    Had a brain wave this morning, I have a freezer which needs defrosting so I want to run it down, normally I'd shove scrunched up newspaper in to fill the space but I've been taking my newspapers into school for art. Cue my eyes falling on a pile of old (and needing to be disposed of) catalogues sitting ontop of the freezer...half the pile are now residing inside the freezer and after tea tonight more will be in there ;)

    Now I need to get on with my work so I'm going to do a HHC of shifting work. :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
