    Study is done. Need to summon up the energy to the hoovering and clean the bathroom... Or I could just snuggle up under a blanket on the sofa and read...

    Afternoon all

    Been sorting all day and not finished yet.

    Kitchen is almost done
    Living room just toys and games/dvds to finish
    Family room which is becoming the dining room half done, still loads of paperwork my desk to sort out.

    Still not sure about it all but the kids all seem to like it.

    Need to ring my mother next and then get dinner cooking before another HH to see if I can get another surface cleared.

    CY - I hope your DD rests and recovers

    Kaz - that seems very unfair about your diet, can you at least complain about the bread?

    Rain has stopped her now so I'll pop out to the shed and playhouse whilst I can.

    Afternoon everyone :)

    cyclingyorkie - Sending bucket loads of posi vibes for you and your DDs.

    shoe string - welcome. Looks like you've made a great start. Don't wear yourself out. ;) And you're making me look bad cos I've only done about half of what I hoped for this week :o

    pigpen really sorry to hear the tonsillitis is back. If you like whisky a hot todday is in order tonight.

    Today's flying has been a blitz on the bathroom. Actually did all three levels for the first time ever. Probably overdone it on the energy front as I'm now exhausted but it'll be so much easier to look after going forwards. Next time HH me time is on the list I'll be having a soak in my lovely clean bath :)

    (((Hugs))) to all that need them. I'll be looking out for the start of next week's list.

    I've not even had time to read the posts this week or keep up:( this is my third week MIA or AWOL I can't decide which is more me.

    Getting back on tomoz. I will achieve level one and see how I get on. I have however done a meal plan and we are managing to stick to it (only day 4!)

    My little house is beginning to look like it did before I started with you 15 weeks ago. I did so well at the start and was really impressed that the baby steps had made such a difference:) Think I'll have to keep reminding myself of this and use it as a virtual kick up the b*m :)

    Welcome back BossyMoo glad the holiday was a success. We r off in -18 days can't wait. Want to leave a tidy house so that should be my incentive !

  • Hi, sorry for not posting this week, but i have popped in and read most of the posts. I went onto facebook to introduce myself, but only recognised 2 people, oh well, just thought i would put a face to the name. I had a mammoth(sp?) sprint to the finish line, as slacked off on a couple of days and really cba, but was nice the get back on track and rearrange the mess.

    I did not Catch up on any outstanding phone calls, or do PAPERWORK (arrrgggghhhh), am sat next to it now and am going to tackle later. Take care and see you all next week, so to speak.
  • Evening all

    nanamia don't be disheartened, your baby steps have just become tiddly widdly steps but you are still here and heading in the right direction :T

    pigpen sending you throat-healing vibes and agree that hot alcohol is a great cure :p

    cyclyingyorkie great big waves of positivity travelling up to you and yours from us darn sarf :A

    Welcome back mossymoo glad you had a fab time.

    I've let things slip this week as I had a particularly aggressive visit from AF. However next week I'll be back to normal. Whatever that is :cool:

    An amazing thing happened earlier... I ironed :eek: As some of you may know I don't do ironing; however my neighbour lost his wife last month and finally took up my offer of help earlier today... and do you know, I think I quite liked it :rotfl:

    Hugs to all, see you on the new thread.

    Evening peeps

    Back from work which went suprising well considering I had 3 coach loads of uni students to get booked in, high intelligence levels doesnt always mean common sense! !!!

    While at work DD text me to say DS had come home (no doubt expecting dinner) so another chicken portion from the freezer and he managed to cook dinner for when I got home. Unfortunately DD and DS have both left me to it now to clear the kitchen as they both have 'work'to do!

    Lame Wolf and Dusty - the diet is an absolute pain and I hate it but I know if I dont make an effort with it then I will have long term problems. I am however going to go and see the Surgery pharmacy to let them know of their absolute incompetence and will insist that they redo a prescription that I will NOT be paying for.

    Bossymoo - glad you had a great hols, ease back into the flying gently.

    Pigpen - no alcohol :eek: no wonder you were wanting a night out with the new shoes. You and Valli should plan one together..... lol

    Save dosh - I'll come and find you on FB once I've cleaned the kitchen (Ha - I may be some time)

    Greenbee - you still need to take it easy, I remember you saying you have a lot of time away with work in May, you dont want to be laid up again.

    Right kitchen calls, hopefully will see you all on next weeks fred
