Feeling tired here this morning and a little bleugh, think I may have picked the bug DD brought home yesterday. How nice of her to share:o So Im going to take things slow today and hope I feel better tomorrow.

Pigpen I hope you don't mind me being nosey, but why does your sister need help out of bed? (although I need a good kick most mornings! ) And when is the new baby due?

She has dystonia which causes her to have back spasms.. I don't see why they prevent her getting out of bed TBH

Baby due October

Sad news about Mummyslittleboy, I remember her name from crafting threads. God bless :A

Won a welsh dresser on e-bay so need to do some serious de-cluttering in the kitchen to make a space for it :T hopefully collecting over the weekend.

Shoulder playing up (car accident 5 weeks ago!) so will do what I can, another cup of tea first though!

Happy flying

oooooooooooooooooooooh thats spooky - i was just thinking of you last night after I logged off and decided I needed to email you - how lovely to see you sweetie - are you ok - thanks for the comments about my list - you maybe dont know but I moved house so the list has been getting shorter as I was doing all the things on it referring to the flat before it got sold! will have a new toots list soon!!!:D:D:D
thats great news about the new job - hope it works out well and well done for getting stuck in at home -you will get things under control soon. How is DS?
love and hugs
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey Toots - I knew that the move was on the cards, but didnt know you had actually now moved! I hope your loving your new home and have settled in nicely... DS is really good - getting big and eating me out of house and home, he needs a new school uniform every 6 weeks or he ends up going around with ankle-danglers! But yeah, hes all good!

Truly inspired - I have my own Toots list...

I am getting pretty good at keeping up with the dailies and downstairs, my room and the bathroom is always pretty tidy, so cleaning the room is actually taking less and less time the more I declutter! As always, I have far too many clothes and far too many toiletries, so am still working on those!

Pigpen - hope you, the bump and the brats are all well (not that they are brats, they are lovely - but all kids are just called brats :cool:) xx

Hugs all round for everyone else... x
