    OH now sleeping off his beverages .. after keeping me awake an extra hour upchucking most of it.. saves peeing I guess ;)

    I set the alarm for 3 am and when it went off I obviously turned it off in my sleep and woke to the second alarm at 6:30 ... so DS3 didn't get his bloods done but DD3 was up and ready and out the door right bang on time..

    As a result once again I am up with the baby who slept past 5 but.. woke me by setting off the apnoea alarm instead.. She was fine just waking me for the fun!

    I always follow this thread(but usually too busy cleaning to post :() but I'm becoming more and more aware that I'm doing everything on the weekly list, every day! I host 4 students and have 2 children so I never seem to stop. I'm very grateful for your tips and inspiration, sometimes I really can't be bothered and you guys spur me on, thank you! :D

    Morning all

    I've been asked to go into work late morning for the rest of the day to cover as another volunteer can't make it today after all. I will have to fly (or more likely, flop around) later. I have ironing to do but can't face it in this heat!!

    Boddy welcome back, take those baby steps slowly x

    nanamia :A you are going through a lot, bless you, hugs and strong vibes coming your way. And big sticks too if you need. x

    Did she tell you off in front of other staff/customers?? :eek: :mad: If anyone told me to 'upgrade myself' I think I'd tell them to go **** themselves :o I would say if it's making you unhappy and affecting your family in some way then it's time to say bye bye. Not worth putting yourself through it and in my opinion the longer you do stay and put up with being treated badly, the message to your boss is that it's ok to treat you like that. Good luck whatever you decide xx

    Right, breakfast and find something cool and decent to wear, it's gonna be a hot one here.

    Stay cool and happy folks!

    nat21luv glad to hear the thread is helping you and thanks for finding the time to post!! Keep going, and it would be lovely to hear from you again, when you get a free moment.... x

    Morning All!

    Am feeling on the mend today, penicillin kicking in, taking painkillers and drinking lots of hot tea. Had a much better nights sleep.

    Am wfh today but it's a quiet one and the boss man knows I'm unwell, so is quite flexible (better than me just having a week on sick I suppose!).

    Not much catching up to do from y'day as lr in a good state.

    Tuesday - Living Room and computer desk
    Clean the tv/computer screens ready for Olympic viewing
    Sort out the DVDs/CDs

    Wednesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Hoover and mop the floor
    Shine the sink, clean your plugs and plugholes
    did Monday
    Level Two
    Wipe the seals of the fridge and freezer
    Clear and wipe the sides
    did Monday when defrosted FF
    Level Three
    Sort out your baking cupboard - use up any end of packets OOD stuff done recently
    Catch up on laundry - tonight, as kids nursery clothes will want adding to pile.
    Clear a hotspot - kitchen, felt so rough y'day that all kids supper stuff is still on side along with numerous mugs and other tat. Will stick in DW and set going, soon.

    Bit cloudy here, was expecting more of the sun, and tots didn't want shorts on today. But I stuck a pair each in their bags so they can change if it gets warm again.

    DS brought 3 lots of washing home y'day. One he slipped and landed in the water tray they were all playing with (?) two he had a wee accident and three he had soup for tea. Nuff said...

    Morning all

    Welcome back to boddy and (((hugs))) for nanamia.

    DH at work, DS1 in his pit and DS2 at school (will be hard to motivate myself for a daily walk when he's on holiday after tomorrow).

    Breakfast eaten and all things internet caught up with, so I've no more excuses. It's not as warm today, so I'll get changed and make a start on the bathroom. Think I'll alternate HHCs in there with 15min of other jobs (laundry, keeping on top of kitchen and LR, put clothes away).

    One quick phonecall first, and I think I'd better change out of my nice white T-Shirt. ;)

    I'll be back for a catch-up at lunchtime.
