    Morning all!!
    I feel better then yesterday, the headache is gone whihc was the worse thng! I have tonsillitis for like the 10th time this year! GP won't do anything now though, not even antibiotics as over the years I've had to have loads of them for tonsillitis so they'll come a time when they won't work.. so.. plodding along! lol

    Bexbex - I had my tonsils taken out 2 years ago - at the grand old age of 37!! I was the oldest one in the ward.

    Best thing I ever did. Since then I have not had one single bout of laryngitis (sp), or even flu. (enjoyed the enforced 2 weeks off work as well). I wondered if my kareoke voice would be different, but it is stronger than ever!! (much to the dismay of the rest of the pub!) :rotfl:

    Go ahead and convince your doctor to send you for a tonsilectomy!!! If they dont agree - see another doctor!! DEMAND DEMAND DEMAND

    Pigpen ((hugs)) sorry to hear you're having a bad day.

    Well I didn't just do the kis rooms, ended up moving them round completely aswell, so every spots been dusted and vacuumed, bedframes cleaned down etc etc. Downside is now have to finish DS1s old room emptying and decorate it for us to move into there. Dailies lacking a little, few to catch up on but have kept coming down putting washing on etc.

    Kids swimming restarts tonight so will be posting list early (about 5 minutes) as the forum is offline tonight, so just incase I don't get chance, hope that's ok with you all.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    My back is killing me. My linen basket and babies were empty until i just bathed him. I still need to do a fair few bits tonight, but at least i won't cringe when DH's rellies come to visit tomorrow. Nowhere is filthy, and people surely expect to see some clutter when they visit a house with a baby. At least it is better than this morning. ;)

    Just going to have a catch up here while the baby is having one of his power naps, and then i guess i'd best start dinner. At least it won't take long as the meat is already cooked from the roast the other day.

    Lists up everyone :)

    Michelle hope the back feels better soon. Know how you feel as after moving beds, wardrobes, drawers etc and seeing as this is the first time I have sat down all day my back and feet are throbbing! I am sure relaties don't expect a completely clutter free house when there is a little one. Nice guests should offer to help with things instead of being waited on aswell. For example I would never expect to be offered a drink when visiting people with new babies, I offer to make it myself and them one.

    Need to add to my list

    Complete clearing of DS1s old room
    Clean the room inc wipe all walls, doors etc down
    Sand the cupboard doors and entrance door
    Empty airing cupboard and vacuum
    Find out when friend wants the cot
    Start on the painting, some stain block there to start with!
    Measure room properly so can order carpet
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Thank you all.. and to the 2 who sent pm's .. of course I cried some more.

    Why did noone tell me red wine makes the head POUND and lager tastes like the dogs tongue!! nasty stuff!!! I'm sticking to vodka tomorrow!!

    I wouldn't have let me bring the children home from school!!! I'm saying nothing else!!

    I did clear a space in the fridge and another on the window sill though.. does drinking it all count as flying?? I certainly felt like I was flying.. barrel rolls at one point!!!

    I hung washing out at 7:30 this morning which is now folded and put away.

    My mother wants me to go to pub tonight but I think I would just cry all night.. I'm being a right wet leaf!!

    It's so painful isn't it! If it was just once a year I wouldn't mind too much but it's everytime I get a cold! My doctor told me they don't like doing them on adults as there is more chance of bleeding afterwards, I don't really believe that though. I also get laryngitis a lot too, people find my distress hilarious! lol
    It's to the point lately taht I don't even bother going to the doctors with it as there's no point.
    I'll have to try a different one next time and see what they say!
