    Anyone up for another HHC at 3.30? This is only going to be a light one for me sorting stuff upstairs, will leave the more strenuous kitchen stuff for later when I've chilled for a bit, doing HHC's are the only way I can get any motivation to get things done.

  • thanks for the hug LW. i can push the buggy with my left hand so its alright. had to call my dad to some take me to pick up DS1 from school coz i couldnt face trying to get DS2 into the buggy and driving is out of the question. ive resorted to the dreaded Tramadol to try to take the edge off the pain. last time i was like this it never touched th pain just made me so spaced out but now i dont care! i need something to make this better. spaced out means i dont care about the pain coz im too busy floating lol. its starting to kick in now so life is a bit better though i may not make much sense on here soon lol.

    kids tea is lefto over spag bol so all i need to do is boil some spag and reheat the bol. my tea will be either a takeaway if my mate comes around and a ready meal if not.

    my flying today has consisted of washing dishes, putting recycling boxes back in the garage and having a shower. productive day dont ya think? haha

    Afternoon all!
    Haven't been here as I was feeling so grotty with a chest infection, and boy did it show, house was a midden! Back to work tomorrow, so today I have blitzed living room, kitchen and bathroom, hoovered in DS room and changed his and our beds and washed and dried the bedding. DD has done her room, something tells me that will be the wheely bin full and it doesn't get emptied for another week and a half! Have ironed work uniforms, washed the contents of 3 laundry baskets, been to sort out old great auntie, made a load of burgers for tea, and am now catching my breath having a browse on here!
    Hope you are all having a good day!
    RIP Iain

    Triker, how are you feeling today? Do you have another day off sick? Although saying that daytime t.v. is enough to make anyone feel sick, hence why I have started to listen to Radio 2 from when I get up till 2pm (or after if it isn’t Steve Wright doing the show!).


    Hi hun, yep, still feeling wierdly vague, whooshy and wobbly. In bed mainly today.

    I'm not rushing back to work, can't anyways I'm not in a fit state to drive at the mo.

    So today I've decluttered some stuff off the sky plus and some bedding has been rehomed with DD1.

    Shame I can't get on with anything, waste of time really but too weak.

    Happy Anniversary to Lame Wolf and Mr LW.

    Unfortunately I didn't get much done until quite late on, it took a fair while to get the asthma under control, but it is sort of there now. So I decided to get on and managed to clear a fair bit - now I am settling down with a cup of tea and a couple of programmes on the Tivo.
