    Had a lovely meal out with M&D. Feel very full now. So much for cutting down on what I eat. Really got to lose about a stone - I'm still well within the realms of the right weight for my height but just need to lose a bit for me. This is the heaviest I've been (except for when I was pregnant and with DD2 I didn't dare go within 3 feet of any scales I was that big!). Guess the diet will have to start next week.

    List has been updated on my post yesterday and the house is looking so much better. Really fallen off the wagon lately but saying that since I first found this thread about 3 years ago the house has generally been so much better. Even when I lapse a bit it doesn't get as bad as it used to be.

    Really need to get some sleep now as I've got to put up a new curtain pole in DD2's bedroom tomorrow and adjust her curtains from tab top to pencil pleat. Hopefully my Mum's got some heading tape I can use so I don't have to buy any.

    Night night x

    Greenbee - you sound as if you are fighting fit again - if not do not overdo things
    uropachild - hugs, hope you got some help from NHS Direct. If the dentist had dificulty getting the tooth out it could still hurt.

    Good morning

    Hope you've been able to do something about the pain, uropachild.

    I pre-sorted lots of paperwork last night until after 11pm, but lost my post when I came back on here. Still lots left to do another day,but I found 3 things I urgently need to act on, so I'm pleased with my progress. One will even save me a bit of money.

    List for today:
    Finish laundry (2 lots waiting to go outside, 1 in WM and 2 still to be washed). It looks like it's very breezy, but dry. :D
    DW and wash a few bits by hand in kitchen
    do tea
    some schoolwork
    do something nice with DS2
    HHC in LR

    2nd cuppa and breakfast first.
