Morning all!
Today's list looks do-able - the basics at least! Got 5 lots of washing done and dried yesteday - if I feel motivated enough I might even get that ironed tonight too!
Dog 2 has his boosters at the V E T S tonight, first time we've taken him there for anything (his first visit was when no 1 had to have some stitches removed - we took him along to get him used to the place, the week after we got him). To say he was not amused is an understatement, bit of a shock as no 1 loves it there - she's a 'frequent flyer', has 4 ops last year - all the vet nurses know her by name and want to look after her, she's a sweetie! Although he's the same breed he's not so easy going (feisty would be an understatement!) so tonight will be 'interesting'!
Went to see Mary Berry last night too - she gave a talk at our local library - she was lovely, she had some interesting stories and was very kind to the children that had gone to see her - one had even baked some tiny cupcakes for her, beautifully decorated too!
Oh well, shower, wipe bathroom down (good habits learned, eh!) and get ready for work! Hope everyone has a good day today.:j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
:heart2: RIP Clio 1.9.93 - 7.4.10 :heart2:I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy!

Morning all, no floors or painter here yet...:( I was hoping to have had the floors down by now and maybe even the skirting done. Suppose i'll just have to see what will happen today. On a plus i did get my wallpaper yesterday.
OH not doing great, i think it's more stress has done it. The HTT have been back out again and will be out for awhile. I just can't be bothered with them, they've already said that their doctor will decide weather SS should be contacted so natural i hit the roof. I'm sick of them contacting SS just because there is a box that needs ticked....:mad: They have already told me that if it was up them the SS wouldn't be called because there not needed in any way but it lies with the doctor who hasn't seen OH in years.
So flylady friends can i please ask for loads of ''get a grip'' vibes please before i have a wobbler.. xxSometimes 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 :j0 -
Calming vibes for Vanilla are on the way.
Thinking of mrs-moneypenny today
Vali Hope your workmen turn up and finish your floors etc
DS2 has to go to school in sports kit for sports relief. No warning and he doesn't have any. So joggers, t shirt & trainers will have to do. I hate themed days they don't mix well with autism.

just got window ledge to clear and wipe, mirrors to polish, and floor to mop, but need to go downstairs to get stuff to do that so going to move onto a very quick blast of my bedroom before ben wakes up0 -
I am officially doing nothing today except perhaps post my eb@y bundles. Brat no 2 screamed all night she has chicken pox right in her lady bits poor little lamb, she just can't get comfy. Even now, after I sat her in a cool bath for half an hour and dabbed metanium on, she is still squatting every couple of minutes I guess to sort or stretch things out down there
Anyway, none of us got any sleep, and I still can't settle her now. She's had some nappy off time, and when it warms up a bit I might get her out in the garden with a bare bum.
So that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0
