    Morning All

    Well last night didn't go to plan. After football we just nipped to Kidsgrove to pick up some badges and DS locked the carkeys in the car so I had to get someone to run me home to get the spare keys and then go back so I didn't get home until a lot later than I should have done. I've been coughing all night so not a lot of sleep - DH is going to love me when he's at home tomorrow - and I'm now going to have a bath before I get ready for work - I'm thinking if I defuzz my legs I can wear cropped trousers! WM is on but that's about it!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Good morning

    Back to work today, hoping I'll get through to the weekend without any more time off. Quick bath before getting DS2 up, who had a bit of a raised temperature again last night. All good fun...

    Just popping my head round the door to leave some pain-free vibes for Sagaris' eldest beagle before I go and scrub the loo (Wednesday is Bathroom Day in the Wolf's Lair). I hate to think of an animal hurting.
    LameWolf, thank you so much! Sammy is 100% better today, complaining that her food is not is not ready quick enough, whinging to go out for her walk (DH has just taken them out) and last night was badgering for treats! Thank you so much for thinking of her - we do worry since she had cancer last year and an extensive, painful op to remove it - she was complaining as soon as we got her home that there was no food in her bowl! Although she was staggering around like a drunk due to the amount of morphine she's had. She seems much more like her usual self - will give her the painkillers again today and see how she goes.

    Yay, bathroom day today - I like doing the bathroom, lots of things to shine quickly (yes I know I'm childish lol!) - it looks good for not too much effort! Although having said that it's not too bad, l like to swish it every day (kitchen sink is always shiny now as well, proper Flylady!) so again thanks to this thread our bathroom is usually passable.

    Working outside today checking car seats - hope it's not too hot or we get finished early and we're not roasting in the afternoon sun - mustn't complain though! This weather is a huge improvement over the last few weeks, I even bought 4 different tomato plants last week (89p each, QS Stores) so they can go out at the weekend - very MS!

    Hope everyone has a good day today - enjoy the weather while it lasts! Now where did I put that suncream........

    Morning all, we has a fab day yesterday and DD came 2nd in her story writing. :j We thought that was it but she went and won the cup for best over all picture, total surprise... (96 entries).:j

    Not much flying done yesterday, Rhys has a temp of 39 and big rosey red cheeks. So i'll see how he goes today. He is forever coming down with things plus it's put him off eating. :(

    Right i better move need to get the new tyre fitted this morning and then thats me at home rest of the day. :D

    Sometimes 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.

    Kaz.. they interrogate the 7, 9 and 11 year old girls when they go to his and they tell him the bits they remember and the things they think he wants to hear so they can pretend they don't like me. I mentioned it to DD2 and DS3 told me thats what they do.. separately. DD1 saiid he does it before as well. How many babies have fallen asleep in their dinner? I know all of mine have done at least a few times each.

    I need to finish the front room this morning so I can get through that revolting kitchen and OH can do the middle room and mince the grass..

    Good Morning Flyfriends

    Didn't have a great day yesterday and spent most of it in bed:mad: a really bad fibro day with fibro foggy brain and chronic pain. This morning I feel fine as long as I don't try to do anything, the fatigue really gets me down, especially when the weather is as gorgeous as it is right now.:(

    DH had a good day yesterday, he planted two climbing roses, the strawberry plants, tidied the herb garden, planted a new red goosebery bush (to replace the one he dumped a bag of cement on top):D The bedroom didn't get 'Flied' yesterday which is a pain, but it couldn't be helped.

    Today I am hoping to get downstairs and DH has suggested moving my daybed out into the garden, so I can enjoy the birds and flowers. I have some good books so that might be nice.

    Big Hugs to everyone and I hope all the poorlies feel much better soon and that all the troublesome exspouses disappear into the ether:D
