This is getting ridiculous. I walk past something now and rather than thinking - I must move that or I must clean that, it gets moved or cleaned. Just sorted through the sewing box and dumping shelf in my study. Identified a couple more things for charity bag, and am looking at the pile of cookery books trying to resist organising them.
Did get the Corp Tax return submitted though. So nothing else I HAVE to do today. Except client billing :j:j:j and filing:(:(GC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -

i am having a 5 minute sit & chill before the really hard work starts. Miss T has just fallen asleep, and I need to leave in 5 minutes to pick up the 4 boys, so i am making the most of the peace & quiet. It will not be quiet later :eek: I am hoping she gets enough sleep before they wake her up
I think the only flying that will get done will be running around picking things up after them, and playing referee :mad: I will clear up when they go, before I take the dog for a walk with my DS & DD2Then it is take away pizza for tea (I have decided
) as I will be shattered then!
Catch up later. Hugs & spoons to those that need them0 -
Afternoon all, been and picked our wardrobe and it will be here in 3 weeks also seen the perfect one for the boys bedroom so i'll see about it next week..:D
Flying wise nothing has been done except the fire lit. Lunch on now and then i'll crack on with the kitchen..Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

All right, I Give Up! *throws arms skywards, swears as shoulder twinges sharply in protest and makes mental note not to do that again*:D
Flying is hereby suspended for this week. All the "hygiene-necessary" jobs are done, so no-one's going to catch any germies.
Clive and Derek are extremely sweet dogs, but quite high maintenance - walkies are..... interesting, with the buggy - Derek zips off in front, and Clive plods along at a snail's pace.:rotfl:
Also, they need to be separated at meal times, or Clive eats Derek's food as well as his own - and Derek actually needs to be encouraged to eat.:o
Also, a Furminator has been provided in their luggage, so clearly I need to use that on them, too.:o
Plus they seem to want a lot of fuss, and Derek will play with a ball til the cows come home.:D
And the back garden needs poo-picking.:eek:
All the above is fine, and really not a problem, if very time-consuming..... BUT.... to put the tin hat on it, Postie just delivered a H-U-G-E envelope of membership paperwork stuff that wants doing urgently. And I need to print off a bunch of complement slips and membership cards to use before I can even start!:cool:
And my desktop pc is on a go-slow.:(
I'm still looking after two regions for this particular organisation - we've put out a request for someone to take on Oxford, but no takers thus far.:( Once we get someone to do that, I can look at stepping down completely; but I can't just leave them in the lurch with two vacant regions.:(
OK, onwards and upwards, let's see if we can get some stationery printed ready to use......:cool:
Hoping all is well with Piggers.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

after noon all.
last night didnt end too well. i ended up throwing up with all the pain so by half 9 i was in bed and fast asleep.
i feel alot better today so i cleaned the cooker top and took the hoover down stairs hoovered the living room and dining room and kitchen and bottom half of the stairs and stuck on a load of washing.
boy do i regret that now! if i hadnt of felt better today then i would have been calling the doctors to get an app but ive borrowed my mums wheat bag which is alot heavier than my one which is helping to relax the muscle.
i did freak out last night coz when i went to bed it was covered in what looked like flaked skin:eek: turns out the painkilling gel stuff i have flakes and peels once its dried:rotfl:i wondered what the hell was in my bed!!!
anyone heard from piggers? hope she is ok and baby is here!!0
