    Hi punky,

    I'm not sure if we have virtually met before, but I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you, and you go right ahead, and do whatever you want that helps you cope. It never happened to me, but my sister and friends had miscarriages, and also had beautiful children before and after.

    Hugs.

    Serena

    i didn't post my list today but i've done a fair bit of it....need to get back into proper list making next week as it really helps me!!!
    i have done the bedroom, study, living room and have hoovered the whole flat. a bit of a lick and a promise this week but i feel better for having done something at least!

    am sitting here with a bowl of homemade yog and grapes and a cup of roosibosch tea. before bed will have to re-make bed, and put more yog in the easiyo overnight. think i might also mop the kitchen floor. :)

    Going away today for the weekend so won't be doing much.

    I've got to finish getting the clothes together and get the kids to sort out any toys they want to take - we haven't told them yet we're going anywhere!

    WM & TD already on
    DD's uniform ready for Monday
    PE kit's ready for Monday

    Just going to do some ironing and a quick tidy up of the living room and that will probably be it.

    Was going to do the bedding today but when i went to air girls rooms notice neighbours 4 door downs bonfire is still producing loads of sticky smoke!! So that will be a job for tomorrow now.

    I have:-

    Swished & swiped kitchen
    Made porridge for girls
    Drank 2 coffees
    Put rubbish and recycling bins out
    Made beds

    and that is it. I did all bedrooms other day but I do have a job to do I did not get round to which is cleaning the top of the wardrobe.

    Other jobs for the day:-

    Go to market for meat and veg
    Do ironing (3 wash loads to do)

    Morning you lovely Flybabes types! Goodnight Denise! 3 cakes?! Think you're forgiven for not Flying much.

    Bit tired this morning as DS up at 1am with 'growing pains' a quick leg and foot massage and a cuddle and he soon got off to sleep not the same for me though :rolleyes:

    Moggins - hope you are feeling better today. My DS's hugs always make me feel better so I send one from him! You must be a mind reader as I've neglected his room and have so much dust on his shelves I think I'll have to dust it them the Pigpen way with the hoover :p
