  • Good evening :D

    Personal challenge - I can't think of anything to do differently :( so it looks like I can't do this one (need to spend time tonight studying, so no flying tonight).

    Winter challenge - candles available, matches handy, rechargeable torch available. I have lit some candles tonight aswell, for All Souls :)

    Declutter mission - this was done a few months ago, when we got rid of the book cases & CD racks in the DR :)

    Dinner cooked & eaten, & I can hear DH stacking the DW :T

    Ok - time for some serious studying, I think :think:

    Goodintentions there has to be something you can do! Take your make up off earlier, study in a different room, prep something for the morning, watch the Ten O'clock news.

    Feeling a tad overwhelmed with the mess I need to clear up - wiped my beloved aga and granite so far.

    Please check your stars and shout if you are any missing (unless you are being punished and you know who you are!)

    WM on, two articles handwashed (Minion has bought herself a top with suspiciously weak looking spangly things attached to it, and I didn't fancy a spangled [cough] as my undies were part of the washload. Especially as aforementioned spangles are black and about the same size as six legged beasties. No way am I removing glitterbugs from the ladygarden shrubbery.
    Bad, bad Jojo! I just spluttered tea over the netbook!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just seen tomorrow's challenges; I shall have to Google the exercise thingies, as I don't know what this entails, but if I can do HHYoga on the Wii and Dr Kawashima's Brain Training every day (as I do);), I'm sure I can fit these in, too.;)

    Re the meds: we're totally up to speed on this; we both have prescription meds, which I got supplies of last week, and I checked all the cold remedies etc only recently, and made sure Mr LW has Lemsips and cough sweets in his work briefcase.:o

    Sun lotion we have to hand at all times, as I need to use it on sunny days even in winter, as I'm very sun-sensitive with this damned lupus.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Oh for !!!!'s Sake. I suddenly get emails from the facebook group or something that's been dormant for aeons and find things appear to have gone pear shaped here because Piggers can't cope any more and poor Dusty's doing the stars (I've only skim read)

    If you need a leader, I'm your woman. Don't expect favours, don't expect fluff and love but do expect discipline and purpose. I'm on my effing uppers but I can do this... if you'll have me...

    But only if you want me to....
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
