    ME take it easy my dear, don't want you to do any more damage.

    FFP poor you what a shock, I hope DS recovers quickly.

    ooohhhh Yaaay for new tree Pigpen, I love christmas :T

    Well I'm a bit slow with it today after being up half the night, but have so far managed to, finally clean the WD40 off the windows (thanks pigpen and Jo for the advice) Put the sheets in the wash off the spare bed. Hung some clothes up, decluttered a couple of bits from the spare room, still have sooo much to do but am really lacking in the energy today and I've ordered a new book on my kindle and can't seem to put it down :o

  • Even remembered to put the two :j extra portions of chilli and rice into the freezer last night! I am totally EPIC (well, according to Minion, anyway).

    Her opinion of me will improve when she finds out I've finally managed to get her another physio appointment, 2.30 next Tuesday. Not bad for a fortnight's phoning every other day and just having them ignore their voicemail.


    Need to make bed for tonight, but CBA yet. Probably do something later this afternoon, instead.

    my christmas tree will be here in the next hour!!!!!! OH is going into meltdown.. he makes Mr Scrooge look festive!

    This is the most tempting time for me. Really don't need any more Xmas stuff but really WANT more stuff.:snow_grin Saw some great trees, about a metre high; here's a link to the small version. http://www.paperchase.co.uk/multi-sequin-tree/invt/00486732/
    They - and there would have to be 2 of them - would have the advantage of being less wide than our current tree so would take up less space in the living room.

    I bought 2 packs of these instead, just in case I get to do anything Halloweenish.
    http://www.paperchase.co.uk/small-multi-glitter-skulls-box-of-6/invt/00487217/

    If anyone can help me find this week, that would be great, I seem to have blinked and it's Thursday _pale_ Friday's already spoken for; Saturday - off to Liverpool (Abakhan!) so that leaves me the rest of this evening and... Sunday! (Roll eyes smiley here).
