    I've cleaned the bio lab, primordial muck fest aka the recycling bin....retched much...oh yes.

    Anyway its done...

    Took DD2 to have her hair chopped, it looks great, hubby still very porrly.

    Oh and also taxed the cars, removed some money from savings to place into rapidly depleting bank account.:eek:

    Made and nearly burnt my sauce, resisted a mexican cook book, I don't need it, I can find 'em online....it was hard though.:D

    Off to deposit DD2 at her friends in a bit and then....well then I'll figure something out to do this evening.


    Hope you're ok with your recovery Greenbee.

    Homeworks all done and dinner on, dw been unloaded and reload. Need to sort the wm out and reload it. Hubby in bed so i'll wait until after dinner and i'll go sort our room, shouldn't take too long. Then once everyone is scrubbed i'll get the bathroom a going over. Won't be about much tomorrow so want to get as much done as possible.
    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.

    hello,

    it's been my day off today but i'm not well :(
    Have been feeling run down for a few days but had a bad night with a very sore throat and my sore shoulder seems worse (waiting for physio). Whichever way I lay it hurt!

    Managed to get to the docs who tells me I have septic tonsilitis. He has given me 10 days worth of antiobotics and said to stay off for the rest of the week. If I'm no better in 48 hours I have to go and see him again.

    I pushed the vac round downstairs cos it was depressing me watching all the cat hair roll around.

    I have slept most of the afternoon and feel like absolute carp.

    In fact I feel worse now than when I went to the docs this morning. Kitchen is a tip but DH will have to deal.

    Tomorrow is a mystery
