Morning, thanks to pigpen & toots for lists.
I'm in this week, I seemed to lose my way last week after Tuesday, then one of my dogs (29kg of solid muscle labrador) ran at full speed straight into my leg whilst we were out walking and my knee feels as if she tried to bend it the wrong way, so have been hobbling around for last few days.:(

greenbee be careful. Lots of rest needed. Sending Ozzie hugs and spoons - he had a wonderful day on Wednesday. If OH is now going with you, may I suggest baby oil for relaxing massage, and relaxing I-Pod music for de-stressing.

OH will look after me - and the rest of my team are very supportive, although obviously they all have a lot on.

Ozzie is so much more restful than my dad's dog! She's been fidgety and fussy all yesterday and woke me up twice last night wanting to go out at 3.15 and 5.30 ... Although I suppose it's better than not waking me up! She's being collected this morning, so I can air and Hoover the house ... There's a lot of dog hair and it smells very doggie...

Need go get my work laptop started up and sort out my diary. Someone is asking for a call for an Asian client which in don't think I can fit in time-wise for a couple of weeks...

Managed to get printer up and running but I haven't got time to do any of my applications now as I've got to walk the dog, drop DS off with my mum and then go.

Catch you all later

Im up, going to get showered and dressed and then pop to the docs to pic up a perscription, go to chemist and get some cash and then head home to potter until the gardner comes round.

i need to get things done today as tomorrow and wednesday are write off again for flying due to hospital and midwife apts so will see how much i manage today. thinking more of doing the living room list and then pottering more in the spare room and trying to cross off some "toots" list items.

Good morning

Kids have all arrived - but no money :mad: I have printed off the invoice and will hand it to her at pick up time, with a reminder that we had agreed payment weekly, at the end of the week, so she is overdue.
I have no patience with Devil child today DH (& my children) say that it is time I gave notice. i have had him 2 years, and he is getting worse (& bigger!). his behaviour affects the other children aswell This is a HUGE frog, as i don't want to let his Mum down, but he really stresses me out, and I have really tried

I have taken some painkillers, as my shoulder is really playing up I think I may even have to make a Doctors appointment :eek:

Ok - i need to play now I will do the LR when they have all gone

Morning ladies,
DD off back to school, she was delighted, I was tearful! Dont like school keeping her all day

GI thoughts to you - time to let go of devil child, you seem to have done a great job to hang on in there so long! Stress will reduce once he's gone, but try not to feel guilty for the mum, you must put yourself and other kids first, who knows maybe another minder will shake him up a bit (not litrlally of course lol).

Got some frogs to eat - potting up mums at front door,
have ordered trampoline pad (at last - only taken me 3 months).
got new storage shelves for playroom to fill.

Photos to email friends and family of DD first day in Yr2.
All the usuall dailies but in baby steps to conserve spoons for later.
have a great Monday everyone x

Morning Ladies,

OK, having really been sticking to a list as such, but just concentrated on some frogs.

Have sorted all paperwork in, around, and under coffee table and sorted into my pile, OH's pile, action required, rubbish and shredding. My pile and OH's pile are now in other room to be dealt with this week. The only item requiring action, has been actioned (a bill - groan!). Rubbish was chucked, and shredding has joined the shredding carrier bag.

Also sourced a shredder, and this will be bought next month. Incidentally, there is a company called Conrad (both in UK and NL), who do their own range of shredders (which do CD's and cross cuts too), for very good prices!

Updated my budget, and spends sheet (finally). I went overbudget on OH's birthday, as usual, but other areas were OK and I had put some money into my savings as a buffer, so all is good.

Clothes washing up to date and put away, dishes were washed several times but now need it again (of course). Chocolate cake baked, and mostly eaten General living area de-cluttered. Kitchen was de-cluttered and sides wiped down, but need it again. Hoovered in living room and bedroom.

And that was about it. The rest of the time was spent curled up on the sofa feeling sorry for myself and trying not to cry every 2 secs for no reason. I just love being a woman! lol

Hope everyone is well!
