    Hi all

    Not had a chance to pop in all week. Not much flying done, upstairs all cleaned but only fire fighting downstairs.

    Doing well with my frogs - one and a big half to go.

    Busy day with kids in and out all day tomorrow but I hope to get some bits done in the garden and more paperwork decluttered.

    Spoons, love and hugs to all especially Lady Liberty and Toots (hope you have had a restful week x)

    Haven't done much over last couple of days was in bed last night for 8pm and have been feeling nauseous today although it magically disappeared while I taught my Ballet & Tap classes.

    2xwm done, DH ironing at the moment :)

    I will try and sort my desk while I browse for a while. Hope to be better as dancing school are at a carnival tomorrow.

    piggers cheer up. You could try what my godmother did when I screamed (age 18mths and sleeping in the bath) - feed me red wine:p (Although probably not a good idea with a-biotics) Maybe you should drink the red wine[/QUOTE]

    red wine isn't good fo me either with Dot

    Ooops. Sorry. Forgot. Can you do a nice aromatherapy bath with candles? What's your favourite non-alcoholic indulgence?

    When I'm having one of those days bath/candles/smells and a good book allows me to switch off a bit. (((hugs)))

    :wave: to Dusty and Hex!

    pigpen - Have the rest of your family returned yet? Hope Squeak is feeling better (and you, too)!

    Chocolateteddy - how awful for the little girl, to lose her Mum like this. Makes me count my blessings!

    I seem to be overwhelmed by the task...

    But that's my line! :p Tempted to send you a few pics of my house to make you feel better.
    Oh, and I am two sizes smaller than most of my clothes now. :cool:

    :T:T:T

    Hi to all the new people, too!

    Not doing too bad today, but I'm making sure that I'm not overdoing it. I'm not going out tonight, though, and will have a go at some filing. DS1 is due to burn paper this week (quicker than shredding for us), so I'll make sure he has lots to 'play' with. :D

    Time to put new bedding on beds (just ours and DS2), and then the filing frog. Just a leg to start with, I think. ;)

    Thanks, Valli! Mind if I keep it? Much nicer than my old slippers. :p

    Going for a HHC, 9(ish)-9.30, for laundry, beds and filing. You never know, I might even be tempted to carry on. Stranger things have happened!
