    Afternoon, ugh it has come over exceptionally dark here. I am thinking it might rain, maybe that would explain my headache or it could be that Aunt Flo has paid her third visit to me in as many weeks!!

    Actually re Aunt Flo I'm not quite sure what is going on - it's either the start of the dreaded change or I have had a "gulp" miscarriage without realising it :( Anyway I am trying to get an appointment with my Dr's but they are either off sick or on leave..and they are waiting for a locum. Oh well if it gets too bad I will just make a nuisance of myself at the surgery..lol

    I haven't actually got off my rear since I surfaced from my bed, I am so tired that I really want to just drop off to sleep wherever I am. I found myself nodding over the dining room table yesterday..lol Not a good idea!!

    Waiting for NHS Prepayment Certificate place to ring me back to sort out the debarcle with their online payments not working. Started to think it was my fault but after checking with my bank there is no evidence of it being my fault. So it looks like it is there end, knew I should have just waited until the DD went through, this of what you get for trying to hurry things along..lol.

    Oh well better get myself moving.

    Still haven't written my froggy list, will sit down and do it this afternoon when I have a clearer head. :D

    Anyone fancy doing a HHC at 2pm?

    What's the toots list, I don't think I've even read or seen that on topic before today but seeing lot's of it today?

    Thanks
    Saving Jane the toots list is a list of jobs that Toots originally posted as her master list of jobs needing to be done, and some of us have addapted it to our own master list and the names just stuck as a "Toots" list :)

    I went round the whole house with a notepad and pen and made a note of all the things that needed doing or all the things that annoyed me, or the things which made the place look cluttered.

    I added to that list, all the spreadsheet/filing/paperwork tasks which needed to be done

    And my Toots list was born - it started with 96 things on it and I just keep plugging away at it. Soon, Ill make a new one - but the one will have tasks on it I couldnt get to before cos all the crapola with in the way :D;)

    Oh I see, so what's the difference between the toots list and the frogs list

    to be honest they are kinda a mix of each other, the only difference is Pigpen randomly tells us to do Frogs so that we do get stuff done that has been put off for a while
