Mrs Chaos you cannot leave ever LOL. You hunted me down and brought me back, without that little nudge i would have been lost so don't be going anywhere. :grouphug:

Sammr Happy Birthday, hope you've had a lovely day. :bdaycake:
My kitchen is still looking lovely :eek::eek::eek:, i just hope it stays that way. Utility room has had a clothes bomb go off in it but i've nowhere to put it so it can just wait. Tomorrow i want the livingroom and bathroom done completely out. Livingroom not too bad but bathroom is packed with crap. MIL has offered to get wardrobes for our bedroom through her name and then i'll pay her each month but i'm not sure if it's the way to go. I despertly (sp) need storage and sooner rather than later. :think:

What about me, you meanies

I'm tying visiting unis in with meeting flyladies. So I'm off to Bournmouth to meet one. Who wants to meet me at Birmingham? Who else has a good uni near them? Sorry should be concentrating on the courses DS1 wants to study

Anyone hear from PenPen?

MrsChaos glad you are back, my feet were starting to ache

Mrs B if we only posted when we did housework the thread would grind to a halt, don't be silly and post away, who knows what you have done anyway.

Doing a few internet jobs, hoping DH will tidy the rest of the kitchen.

I have put the WM on and labelled 2 coats and 2 pairs of trousers.

I'm only a short detour from the flylady you're meeting in Bournemouth, so you can come and do my gardening on the way or way back... And serena and hex can drop in at the same time! Not sure what DS1 will do... Get the train home?

(there are a few other flyladies within easy reach of bournemouth... I'd encourage DS1 to go there... Southampton has a very good uni too )

Thank you all for the birthday well wishes, had a nice day. Voda finally fixed my phone so I got to go into town and pick that up as well as a couple of other bits including a birthday cake 1/2 price in Mr T .

I managed more than I thought I would today. Kitchen is currently messy as DH cooked and as usual made plenty of mess, so I'll clean that in the morning. DS has his speech therapist coming tomorrow to do some PECS work with him so he doesn't forget too much before school starts and I also have a delivery coming with my new coat

Right I am now shattered, so off to bed for moi! Now I hve only 365 days to get used to being 26! Hugs and Spoons to all in need. xxx

AAARGH You're braver than me, I wouldn't have been able to catch it. In fact last week I was actually chased round the house by the biggest spider I have possibly EVER seen. I ended up being cornered, having to jump for my life and badly sprained my ankle
[/QUOTE]

Keep a large plastic container hand and put over s....r. Slide piece of cardboard underneath (I use a collapsed cereal box), lift carefully and throw outside. Retrieve container and cardboard when danger has passed (or ask OH to do this). I have got better at it over the years!

LW - you remind me very much of someone who is a very special person in my life - never one to say 'what can't I do' but always 'how can I do as much as I can myself' - but folks are right, no-one could ever truthfully say you were a slacker - but maybe you need to cut yourself a teensy bit of slack so you're fighting fit to deal with all that life chucks at you - not forgetting your four pawed visitors.

Awww, thanks *blushes* I just need rid of this wretched BD, then I might get back to something approaching normal (actually, what IS "normal" anyway??):o

*slinks in quietly through the back door*

Thank you for your support! :A Not my best day today, but I think I can see light at the end of this particular tunnel. Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to fight this BD. My mum and grandma got through a lot worse and did not give up! I'm not going to let them down, but I can't do it without the support on here.

:T:T:T So pleased you're not going to leave us.:beer:

Of course it's OK - but don't run yourself ragged trying to do ALL Mon/Tue/Wed jobs in one day - just do to Level 1 or 2.;)

Oi - who's that at the back muttering "Pot...kettle...black"??:D

Ted's had his bath, and is currently sitting with me on the sofa while I sort out Mr LW's new savings account (guaranteed bond thingy if he puts X amount away for 3 years... we've agreed it's eminently do-able).;)

That's now done, so Mr LW now wants me to sit and play Dragon Age Origins, so I shall bid you all a fond Good Night.:)
