    I managed a whole 1 of my necessary phone calls..

    I fed the TD and folded the dry stuff that was in it.

    I did nothing else given that I can now barely walk after the hobble back from nail shop. I need a Davros mobile I think!! lol

    I have 8 of my ebeast things ending tonight.. 6 have bids so far and I have no bags to post stuff as they have not arrived yet.. hopefully they will be here sharpish and I might be a bit pleased I can't post until Tuesday! My other account has 13 things listed and 1 with a bid but almost everything has watchers so hopefully it will all go.. not for as much as on m other account given my feedback of 4 from 2006!!

    flying wise a nightmare - dailies just about done, but everything else has slipped badly. Must do better.

    I am incensed by the off duty I have got for june/july. I have got a flexible working arrangement in writing that is barely 3 months old which says that I will work 1xlong day and 1xearly on thurs and fri - with flexibility to work on the weekends, but only the early. I'm on a long day this sunday:mad: have the following weekend off and then have a long day 2 consecutive sundays:mad: an early on the following saturday and the weekend after than an early on the saturday and long day on the sunday:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: How is giving me 5 weekends out of 6 keeping to the flexible working arrangement. !!!!!!!!

    I am very very seriously considering my options here and thinking of going on the bank at a different hospital - I would be very much out of my comfort zone, but at least I would work when I chose to. As it is I am paying £80 a day for 2 children in nursery and then having to work on entirely different days - if I wanted to work 4 days a week instead of 2 then I would rather get paid for it:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    LW have you been assessed for adaptations to your bathroom - a wet room or bath lift?? The waiting list can be up to 5 years long in some areas so even if you are just about managing now (and a manual lift by DH wouldn't be classed by the OTs as that) it is worth getting on the list. - apologies if you're all up to speed on what you want and need already though :)

    Batch 1 of the curry is cooked. Batch 2 is nearly ready.
    The kitchen is a tip and the cooker will need cleaning.
    All I seem to have done today is make more mess.

    DH on his way home, so we'll have something to eat, then I'll try and do a HHC
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift

    :hello:Hi to all my flylady friends! It's halfterm!:j:j:j

    I've been flaked out rather today, after a very busy week. It was my birthday yesterday, but I was working, so just an evening celebration with the family, although I took a cake into work, and sweets for the kids.

    I have been doing a bit of flying - mainly catching up on the washing, and also cleaned the bathroom, which was horrible.

    I'm way behind on the thread, so love and hugs to all.:grouphug:
