seafarers_wife Ooh exciting!

Triker

DW x1

WM X1

2 binbags filled, all bins upstairs emptied.

Clearing up the dining room which had turned into the dump room.

Ditched two large cardboard boxes, cleared settee, sorted table, tidied living room,put my bags for life in car so I use them!
Sorted pork in slowcooker for tonights tea.
Got two bags of shredding stuff ready to take to work.

Would like to ditch our ancient desktop computer, will take the hard drive out of it and get rid I think, it takes up far too much room and is never used and I could do with getting the space back from that corner.

Right best get back on to it.

Toots...hope your ok hun, I see you quietly getting on with it all in the background and never complaining...think of you often. xxx

Thank you for finding the right words - have thought this often, but not known how to put it.

Hit a bit of a trough in the last couple of hours, but I'm slowly climbing out at the other side now. Washing is on the line, WM on again, some of yesterday's laundry folded and put away, DW emptied and lunch made. Do doritos and salsa count? DS2 had a proper lunch, though. I've also flung/sorted a few things in the LR.

I've got to have a bath soon, and DS2 and I should really go food shopping. Hospital visit is planned for 5.30/6pm and OH's friend from across the road is coming with me. It's a 30min drive each way (unless the traffic is heavy), so a bit of a bind.

Must rememer to check up on sickness benefits for the self-employed, as I'll need to sort this if OH is entitled. That'll be a frog, then. We still have no idea how long he is going to be off for. I really hope they have some answers when I go through tonight.

hi embb :hello: x how are you hun? are you sad that DD has moved out or pleased to have a bit more space:rotfl: anyway its less to sort out for the big renovations - you must be getting excited xx I am glad Lily has settled back in with you.
pigpen - lovely photo
hex some people leave it until the last hour before they bid - 7 watchers is good:D
triker thanks hun:A hows DD coping - is the pain bearable? (((hugs))) for you both - you seem to be motivated to clearing the clutter again - well done but be careful remember xx Yes I just plod along - dont feel I can contribute nowadays so just keep to myself.

MrsChaos:Athanks to you too - you are doing well and there is a light at the end of the tunnel - I have seen it!!!:) Hope you get progress at the hospital - BTW dont leave the claiming of sickness benefit any longer because they wont back date it!

had 2 hospital appointments this morning so half the day wasted:(

pouring rain earlier so at least i wont have to water tonight.

have eaten a large frog this pm - now in the RoD

In an attempt to manage pain of SPD whilst preventing the house from degenerating into a sty I'm doing 5 minute bursts today (when baby and DD are quiet) - I've so far managed to clear one kitchen worktop (only 6 more to go)!

ps Hex, I tend to bid on things in the last couple of minutes - gives me time to decide if I WANT or NEED the item and... gives me a little buzz

Evul plan is to make popcorn and stick tinies in front of Despicable Me while I get going then off to pub and play area to have tea with dh mid-shift as they are barely seeing him for the next few weeks

for an awful minute there I thought Saucepot had joined this thread :rotfl:

just informed my 15 yo DD that I won't be buying her a 'swimming pool' her phrase - our garden's on a slope, we've no hose oh - and she's 15 *rolls eyes*

non payer has paid. Had an infection and was in hospital apparently. But he appears to have managed to pay somehting else bought the same day. Think I'll leave him as blocked...*rubs chin*

anyway making slow but steady headway through heaps of other (ie not quite flying) jobs
