    Afternoon all :)

    Greenbee - how are you feeling lovely? Hope you're feeling better x I am slowly getting better although my eyeballs feel like golf balls :( Just going for more paracetamol now.

    I've just finished eating, going for paracetamol then I need to iron clothes and shower and get some biscuits made for father in law's birthday tea party later :)
    I have to get some catalogues out later, (wish I didn't have to :( ), then I'm going to go around the house to do my toots list which I didn't bother doing last night - I just slouched on settee with temperature and stayed there all night.

    Brightest blessings all, will catch you later x
    Jen
    Everything happens for a reason :)

    I have done nothing Jenny... Sudafed and ibuprofen (actifed to sleep last night) and dozing on the sofa. I don't mind the snottiness etc, but the coughing is really annoying me as it stops me doing stuff.

    On the positive side, it sounds as if the floor is done and skirtings are going on, so they may well finish the spare room this weekend, in which case I can take my occasional cleaner up on her offer to come over on Tuesday morning, as I can just have a quick tidy up tonight and tomorrow. I'm hoping I can persuade them to do the other room next weekend... I need to find the decorator's number and get her round to quote and plan dates...
  • Both me and the kids have been ill for most of this week so no flying done this week and the house is a mess which is getting to me. Plus my OH still expects me to keep up with the housework. ggrrr

    I am going to make a start on things now as only just feeling like i can actually do something without having zero energy or one of the kids wanting me to stay with them so off i go.
    Got to pick OH up from work at 4.30 so don't have too much time, oh well it's a start.

    Hope everyone gets well soon.

    I've decided that except for vacuuming living room daily (dogs), washing, washing up, cooking, making beds etc I'm not going to do housework at the weekends. Today has been spent cooking.
    Spend less now, work less later.

  • Like it Jazee!

    Pigpen and Greenbee - get well soon. Lots of horrible germs around, yuk.

    Flying this weekend:

    Washed all dog bedding
    Cleaned dogs ears (they weren't happy)
    Did 2 x HHI.............:eek:
    and climbed 2 mountains..................my hips and feet are now sulking but at least I know what I need to concentrate on training wise.

    About to start HHP x many.............

    1 step
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p

    My "Happy Birthday to Natty" post seems to have disappeared so I will have to add
    Happy Belated birthday Natty.

    Have a stinky cold but have been battling on. Been selling stuff to declutter but now am losing interest so may bung leftovers (still good stuff) in a charity bag. Nobody has dared to stand still around here as they may have been sold. :cool:

    Half term here :D:mad: (mixed blessings), it is now raining so hopefully ice and old snow may melt away.

    Healing vibes for poorly. While I think about it, hope Ed has awoken.

    Piri piri homemade chicken for tea and am just going to rescue it from the oven so back later.
