hello - im in this week got to get back on track!:rotfl:

Sequeena

I'm still recovering from food poisoning so didn't get much done last week but hoping to get a lot more done this week. Problem is Thomas has suddenly switched his night routine and now won't sleep unless I hold him?? Last night I was up until 4 or 5am because everytime I put him down he screamed blue murder! hoping tonight goes better... no idea what's got into him. He seems well enough

hello all

I will be flashing through and flying under the radar until I get up to speed with work stuff.

I am a LIVING EMBODIMENT of PARKINSON'S LAW unfortunately...

oooh my exH bought me a coffee at football today!

I almost fainted with shock! It has taken me a LONG time and a LOT of effort to get to a 'talk to each other like decent human beings stage' oh - and he called me by my name, too (as opposed to just looking at me and talking if you get my drift). he and his partner have been invited to DS's 18th, thopugh DS thought it would be 'awkward' - I chatted to his partner and told her DS thought this but I didn't, prior to the invite. My family are better than that - they will be perfectly nice to them, if they come.

I'm in this week - I want to get as much done as possible although so far I'm out Wed and Friday day, Tuesday morning and every evening apart from Tuesday.

Still got loads to do though if I want to get this house sorted before I hopefully get back to work.

Count me in. Thanks FCC for listy.

I aim to try harder again. I will be down to one house after Wednesday as my Parent's have organised a cleaning company to do theirs, starting with a spring clean.

Hi all

I found this thread over the weekend and think its just what I need. As a full-time disabled working mother and part-time student, I struggle to keep on top of things at home, especially as I seem to be loosing a running battle with our dog who seems to molt everywhere daily. So if possible I'd like join, although not sure how often I'll be able to read or post on the thread .
