    Morning all. Up early and have done 2 x HHI already

    Plan for today is to get a quote to have the dent knocked out of my car and to start looking for a new job.

    DH has to go to Leeds today so I'll have to pick up DS1 from college tonight.

    Hope every one has a good day.

    Happy birthday MOAM!
  • Morning all. Little flying done here yesterday too, washing up DW & WM was all due to carp cold and carp day in work (:(this is happening too often lately). Dosed myself and went to bed as early as I could. Still sniffing and sneezing fit to bust this morning so have put off walking plan for today.

    Morning all, been busy as usual here but i did get the day at home yesterday and got the livingroom and our bedroom done..:D OH took me out for a meal last night which was lovely. Haven't been out for a meal in ages.

    2 boys off school today both feeling rubbish with the cold and sore heads, tempature up as well. So there getting some breakkie, meds and then back to bed.

    Plan now is to sort out the mountain of clean washing and put it all away, then i'll get the fire lit and make a start on the bathroom.

    Hugs, spoons and congrats where needed..

    Oh and i had my weigh in on tuesday and i've lost 1 1/2 pounds, not much i know but i nice start. I'm hoping to loss 2 1/2 next week and then 2 pound every week after. Which would mean nearly 2 stone gone by Easter...:j:j
    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 :j

    Woohoo made it out of bed earlier today, so that is day one of my new routine to try and manage my fatigue condition and hopefully my meeting will finish in time tonight in order to allow me to get into bed for 10pm so that I can do it again tomorrow. Its also a :j cos it meant I had extra time to get some flying in so attacked some of the bedroom including the bedding and the bathroom. Should hopefully start work a bit earlier which means I should be home a bit earlier to get paperwork out of the way before I go to my meeting.
