Morning Jue

I've done one HHC. Oooo go me. I'm beginning to get back into this properly now I think;)

One load of washing on the line
Another load in. I might get to hang that out before work.
DW salted and loaded ready to go
Kitchen S & S
Puddy's fed
Towels sorted and folded.
Clean washing taken upstairs and dumped in my room. It's a bombsite re: new drawers.
Rubbish out, recycling out

Off to get ready for work now!

Just calling in to say i'm sorry i've not been about. No flying been done here except for the bare basics. It's my friends baby shower tomorrow and i have been making the games stuff. I took a bit of a slack week to spend a bit more time with the sprogs too. Last week i concentrated so hard on the flying that the kiddos went ignored a little bit. I need to strike a better balance i think.

Anyway, not read the thread so hugs, sticks & spoons to those in need and congratulations and good lucks if appropriate.

Hopefully i will be able to do at least the level ones on Sunday to keep things ticking over.

Bah!!!!!

Been awake ALL $(@$%(*@$(% NIGHT!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Was just trying (and nearly managing) to get some shuteye when the familiar rumble of the commercial bin men started up in the next street.


So by 6am, I had

WM x 1
Cat litter tray emptied and refilled
Cat litter in wheelie bin
Bins emptied
Coffee decluttered
Recycling out (doesn't everyone do that barefoot at 5.42am?)
Garden waste (the non compostable, powdery mildew stuff) recycling out
Splats fed
Morris & the Munchers fed
Cat combed. No illegal aliens on her.
Fluffbag shoved her jealous carcasse in the way of the comb and then went all stroppy because it wasn't the brush. so she got brushed and scratched for 20 minutes until my hand dropped off.
Taken photo of both cats attempting to become invisible on throw (brown, black, beige, white & ginger throw, one brown, black, beige and white cat and one black, ginger and white cat almost melted into it)
Towels replaced in bathroom
DW loaded but not yet going
Gibble removed from settee
School blazer removed from other settee, underneath cat bum.
Music shifted to another corner


Got orthodontist at 12 for Minion. She's still got a bit of tidying to do before her friend is allowed through the door this evening, but a whole lot less than she had this time yesterday morning. She can vacuum down here as well.

I really need to stay awake now, but I can feel myself nearly nodding off.


And I need to buy food for girls tonight - dairy free for lactose intolerant friend, apparently [shrug]. As long as I know in advance, these things aren't so hard.


WHY are there bin men walking through my front garden when they have already been next door? They can't be trying to see me plodding around in my Blockheads T-shirt and beige jeans, as nobody is that brave this time of the morning!


[yawn, grumble, mutter, sniff]


Ugghhhhhh [crash]

Morning early risers Am sitting here with a pile of ironing waiting to be ironed I have put the ironing board up and filled the iron with water and have it plugged in, just haven't got to the actual process of ironing yet..:p

Well yesterday went okay, I only got tearful a couple of times. But the weird thing, with the relationship I had with my mum when she was alive, I really really missed her yesterday. It was a strange feeling. Maybe after nearly 5 years it has finally sunk that she is gone. Still it was nice at the crematorium - her rose bush is in full bloom as are the others on her section of the memorial garden. I reakon she is having a ball with the new people that are next to her and around her. It heartens me to imagine her with a load of new friends around a big table eating her favourite meals - either fish and chips or egg and chips

Therapy was good, well actually it wasn't really therapy this week as we spent most of the two hours talking totally off tangent and having a good laugh with each other. We did do a bit of therapy but not as much as we normally do..lol. It probably helped the main facilitator was off and we had the second in command, and she lets us get away with stuff..lol Although she did tell us we have to get back to normality next session

Found out some details about where I will be going once I have finished group therapy next year - Brenchly Unit in Maidstone. The only bad news is that it is 3 times a week for 12 months :eek: I know they said it was intense but blimey they weren't joking.. Then at the end of that there is another group that is the final recovery of all this therapy.. Thankfully that is only once a month for a year.. So I think maybe by 2014 I might have finished therapy..lol. Ooh the good news about doing this intense therapy in Maidstone is that we get the opportunity to go in as facilitators afterwards if we want, as we have first hand knowledge of BPD and can help others that are just joining etc.. It's also a training ground for Kent University in Canterbuy, where they have students doing their placements from the psychotherapy course. Should be interesting as my friend T is doing this course in September so she could end up doing her placement at the same place I am going to for therapy..:rotfl:

After saying I was going to take a day off flying yesterday I got a second wind inbetween various things happening - I cleaned the kitchen, hotspotted the living room, put things away in their respective homes and did some ironing. All before DH got home from work at 7pm

Oh well suppose I had better get on with this ironing..lol

Piggers hope you have a good weekend, and please rest for a couple of days
Tag - ooh a murder weekend You'll have to come back and tell us all about it. Hope you aren't the murdered victim though Have a good weekend
JoJo hope you manage to get some form of rest later today. Wow I was tired just reading what you had managed to get done since 6am..lol. Oooh piccies of splats, you must post a piccie up this weekend so we can all go ooooh and aaaah over them..lol

Hugs/spoons and love to everyone, especially Toots, LW, RachelS and LL.

Have put away lots of folded laundry which was waiting to be attended to upstairs.
Refilled the machine, including the cushion covers from LR
Matched some socks
Started packing
threw out some misc gibble from LO room
Cleared DR table... again
Swished the bathroom

Off I go again...

But then you deserve it - youve done amazingly well at clearing all that debt, you should treat yourselves! I wish I could get a new mattress - thats what Im going to treat myself to when Ive cleared off the next credit card!
