    Evening all

    Hugs to lil_me and greenbee - you're not having an easy time at the moment.

    The sink sounds lovely, hex. I wonder if you've stored it as long as I had my new oven and induction hob before they were fitted. They were well worth the wait, though.

    Not a bad day. I had a lie-in and took ages to get going, but then managed a few things:

    Mt Washmore is sorted and WIP
    DW has been on, emptied and re-loaded
    shopping done at the market in town and Mr T's (£20 for £30's worth of stuff :j); all shopping put away
    1 bed fully stripped and another just the sheet to do
    lunch/tea done and dishes put away
    general flinging of rubbish and LR tidied superficially
    Dry washing ready for putting away and a bit of ironing done (DH did that one)

    I've got to do a bit of work, have a bath, make up the beds, continue with the laundry and decide whether I can be bothered to go out.

    Time for another cuppa and then I'll need to come up with an idea for a lesson on Monday.

    Have a good evening, everyone.

    Dusty the bf workshop hasnt put me off, its more useless because it was very this is how we do it and this is the only way we condone type thing and heaven help you if you want to do anything different to the way we say.

    I understand they cant cover all senarios but it was very regimented for want of a better word. Have got some books and know i can always ask for advice and phone helplines etc so will see how i get on with it and if it works great, if it doesnt well then thats why there is formula.


    There are lots of us on here who bf. I did it because I thought I would give it a go and I thought bottles would be too much like hard work. So you can always ask on here too. Having said that I accept it's people personal choice and it can be painful intially - but once you're over that hurdle worth it.

    My dd went from boob to cup. She never, ever had a bottle (she had a dummy though so you can see I'm not a 'perfect' mum). Having said that getting her off the dummy was far easier than persuading DS to stop thumb sucking (WIP - yes he's 18!)

    Theatre was FANTASTIC Tracie Bennett was BRILLIANT as JUDY GARLAND! Not a HINT of Lancashire accent AT ALL (and I do like a Lancashire accent!) when the house lights went up for the interval I didn't know what was happening I was so absorbed. Excellent production well worth seeing!

    Washing didn't dry too well; neverhteless I have ironed all the bedding so it can have a good long ait in front of a radiator (did this before I went to get DD before I went out) I also managed to take up the hem of 1 of the pairs of trousers I bought today so wore them tonight (bye bye baggu brown trouser with the permanently descending zip!) trousers are a good choice for me because I have lots of pairs of anke boots...abouit 6 I think...

    DS borrowed a £10 off me this morning then wanted another £10 for a dominos. I refused. I'm kinda wishing I had given it to him becuase he decided to make [STRIKE]a mess[/STRIKE] pancakes. Note to self - DON'T BUY EGGS!:rotfl:

    Hex you put it about right, not felt like this in a very long time but I'm functioning in parts :)

    Did a good outing with the dogs, I walked less letting them play around the ponds so that worked and made little squish less hard work today. I've done the dishwasher and laundry so that's kept up with. Dropped off and collected children. Took the boys for a hair cut. Think that sums up the most I've got done

    Currently up waiting for DP to get in who has been attacked at work :( not happy, doesn't seem to need treatment just shaken, see what he's like when he gets home
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning All

    Hope DP is ok lil-me.

    I'm going over to see my grandparents this morning as it's my grandad's birthday tomorrow and I won't have time to go over then. It's also my niece's birthday Tuesday so I need to wrap both their presents and write their cards. I went out for a couple of hours last night and bought a handbag but apart from bringing everyone else a cake back hat was all I bought so not too bad. Other than that not a lot planned today I don't think.

    Lil-me and greenbee - hope you're feeling better today.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all

    Nothing like the coalition standing in a row on a Sunday morning.

    Managed to sleep a bit later this morning, well in 15 minute blocks. I've done a few bits in the kitchen.

    Lil_me hope DP is ok

    Quillion lovely to see you

    Cuppa and then an hour in the kitchen to get it straight enough to start the day.

  • Please count me in cant find the christmas tree.I used to be a flylady and have been looking after Mum who

    has been very ill.

    Thank God she is much better now and I am now living at home(my home)

    I left a teenager at home for months and the house is destroyed!!! Well a terrible mess anyway.I only came

    home very rarely.

    I really dont know where to start? Since I have been home I have been ill for 5weeks I think that it was the

    stress and worry about Mum.Now instead of looking at it albiet through closed hands I have to try and tackle it

    I have very little energy and can only do a bit at a time.

    Please help!
