    OK, all I managed last night is:

    Packing
    Quality time with the OH.

    And I'm happy with that. :D

    Oh, I'm mistaken, we emptied the bins this morning and put them out for collection also.

    Can't wait to see family and friends!!! Is it 9.40pm yet???? No....OK, I'll wait then.

    I've got an interview next Wednesday!
    This will have gone out of my head by then, so please accept good luck vibes now, and put them by for Wednesday.:D

    Jojo many thanks for all the info. On the hossy front, Mr LW is going to help me draft a letter. Re the labrets - I think they'll work for me; now it's been explained, I see how they work (gods, I can be so dumb at times). We'll have to try and get into the pub I can no longer get up the steps to, when the bikers meet, one of them is bound to know of a good place to ask for advice/info - Mr LW can ask them for me.;)
    :mad: at bus drivers failing to stop if there are no adults waiting - I'd have thought they'd be on shaky ground there; it's not that easy to tell someone's age as you whizz past them, I'd have thought.:cool: I hope Minion gets on OK at school with her crutches - they sound cool!:D

    OK - this morning I've done HHYoga and made the lasagne for dins (it just needs throwing in the oven at 11:30).

    Now need to see to my email (mainly online surveys usually) and get some lists under way for our Kent break - I need a packing list and a route at the very least - for the first I can snaffle a template from our back-up flash drive, and I'll dig out Autoroute for the second.

    We need to go grocery shopping when Mr LW finishes his shift at 14:30, too.:think: So that's another list I need to check and update.

  • morning all :hello:

    good luck Julie

    Mrs LW I cant begin to know how you feel, but I have a good idea having had health 'issues' in the last 5 years. I very rarely manage to do the list, but that is no help to you if you have OCD over lists.
    Yes make a list of questions for your GP and you could take it in to the surgery and leave it for your GP to read through and maybe write the answers down for you and be ready to answer questions when you visit.
    I think it may help if you get together a little pack of good memories from your doggy visitors and nice days out with Mr LW and maybe when you are very tired and low Mr LW can put on some 'get a grip' music and you could remind yourself of how valued you are.
    Finally DON'T GIVE UP

    Been fighting a virus but made bread, turned 1Kg of carrots into 4 bottles of carrots, made something strange with courgettes but DH liked it, loaded DW and forgot to put it on:o
    Sue
    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T

    i have slobbed and done nothing for a whole hour.. now i am bored stupid and need to do something!

    We dropped the girls at school.. filled the brum up.. we had 3x 5p tesco fuel vouchers (did you know you can use up to 3 in one transaction?) so saved a small fortune!
    Got the tyre fixed on the car.. it had a nail in it apparently.. :eek: .. I know stuff like that happens anyway but this is the 3rd time it has been OHs car in the last 18 months.. and I am a bit suspicious.
    Baby fed waters and changed.. she is getting more teeth so is sopping wet with drool and has a red looking ear... she is currently rolling about on the floor with her feet in the air.. good job we dont all do that! lol

    Thanks for that tip Pigpen, a big saving! :T:money:

    RE: Flying. Not made a very impressive start back considering I've been off work this week... but needed to take some time out to de-stress. So have read 1 book, and just starting on another. Just have to post some parcels now though and will then try to catch up past 2 days perhaps just Levels 1/2. :o

    It was for us the brum has a huge tank and it usually costs a fraction over £100 to fill up.. this was £85ish or thereabouts.. :D

    We hit 3000 miles on the clock (:eek: my L didnt type!! lol) today too..

    Right...

    HHHC (half-a half hour challenge!!) anyone???????

    I need to get the washing out.. and OH can feed the DW.. then I want to get some more of the cardy done for the baby.. and then I am doing a red aran jumper for Tiddles..
