Fantastic news! Congratulations!

Jue - I hope you are feeling better. Take care x

Just marking time until I can leave work. It's so frustrating I had 15 minutes work to do and have been reading my book for the last 2 1/2 hours. there's so much to do at home. DH is away he took DD1 to work this morning at 3.30am and went north from there. He rang me at 6.30 and he was already in Leeds - I dread to think how fast he was driving in his go-kart.

I must go home and tidy the utility room. If an engineer is going to come round to mend the TD I need to make the room presentable!

the kitchen isn't too bad. We had a family emergency yesterday and MIL and FIL stayed for lunch, Everyone helped to clean the kitchen up as we were all still reeling from the shock so I feel ahead of the list.

Count me in, thanks to FCC and all of you.

DS2 has been sent home from school until September so I have several frogs that will be even more difficult to eat. He needs 1 to 1 support at the moment and there are no funds.

DS1 is off school poorly

I am going to sort school clothes out to stick in the charity bag.

Hi everyone.:o

Before I forget to say it, (((HUGS))) to Wendywitch, Juliejim, Misstam and anyone else who could use one.

Hatti welcome aboard - do make sure to read Posts #1 and 2, so that you'll know what we're on about when we use abbreviations/acronyms.;)

Mr LW and I both need to declutter colds:( We visited the bank to pay in a cheque, and there was a small child spluttering and coughing in there, so that's probably where we've picked them up from. I think we'll be taking Vitamin C supplements for a few days.:o

I had a real job finding 10 Frogs I could tackle unaided, but I finally came up with a list:

FROG LIST

1. Minor repair to washing carousel
2. Clean up antler pieces
3. Provisional meal planning for whole of August, as we'll have canine guests virtually all month
4. Label holiday photos – 170+ of the blighters!
5. Find a home for laminated pictures that used to be on kitchen and bathroom doors (they can't go on the new ones for fear of ruining the wood)
6. Make a batch of Birsay biscuits
7. Tidy up “Dailies” list on PDA to make it more user-friendly
8. Fix broken bit of drawer runner
9. Find out exact dates for 2012 Solstices etc and email to Mr LW's work address
10. Wash clothes that have to be hand-washed

I do like the idea of choosing which Frogs to tackle on any given day, rather than being told #4 and 6 (for instance). Makes life much easier, and they'll still all get done..... at least theoretically.:D

I think in my case #4 may get done in teeny-tiny tadpole-sized bites, as it's going to take an age. What I might do is 2 others today, and also get started on #4, and do wee bits of it when I need to stop for a time-out. Actually, #3 might be a similar case......:cool:

Of course, there's loads more on my Toots list, but it's all stuff I need to have Mr LW's assistance with. Oh to have my health back again!:(

No matter - onwards and upwards - I've decluttered my Quorn and cucumber sarnie, so best press on now.;)

seafarers_wife

Ive decluttered 2 boxes off my frog list, so going to do another 2 and then get some lunch.

RachelS

Right, still struggling to get back on track and do much. Still don't know where I stand re OH. Worried about him as he's not doing very well.

Anyway...some progress made today. I got up at normal time of 6am instead of waiting till 10 to 7 and being frantic.

I checked my bank balance (actually better than I expected) and started making a frog list.

I think it's unrealistic for me to work all day today, given my feelings. Boys in bed for nap so going to take an hour to nap myself, then I WILL BE UP AT 2.20 to tackle 2 frogs and clean up...should take me to the boys being up.

Got counselling tonight but going to try to tidy up a bit before bed to show willing! That will be progress..then going to try for a bit more progress tomorrow.

ETA: Congratulations Quillion!
