    Good morning :D

    *kick up the jacksie* vibes to Pigpen. Are you still BF? Is there any way you could go AWOL for a few hours at least? Some people never take responsibility if there is always someone else who will do it. Sometimes people need to be forced into it - and it makes them appreciate what other people do for them. Might be the kick he needs! ;)

    Anyway - talking of kicks up the jacksie - I think I need one! :o

    I need to get dressed & do something - anything! Dressed first I think..... I will be back later :)

    *KICK* for GI...

    Yes still bf.. she is a limpet too.. I would stop but she won't take milk at all in a beaker or bottle so I'll put up with it a few more weeks until she is 1 and reassess.. I loved feeding the others but she bites and nips and scratches, she made my eyeball bleed yesterday!!

    I am just so tired :(

    decluttered 396 off my fb friends list.. if I accidentally delete anyone.. sorry... just send me another request I didn't mean to delete you xx

    Afternoon all, hugs all round.

    Boys busy Olympic viewing. DH has helped me with some 'heavy' prunning in the front garden and is trying to mend the hole in the lawnmower.

    Time for a cuppa then insurance quotes.

    It's gone very dark so going to see if Wash no 1 is dry.

    I am exhausted.. I have dug up a huge pile of weeds in the garden ... a wheelbarrow full! and a litter tray of rocks... OH can empty the barrow and I may take my rage outside and be earth moving to level off the hollow part of the lawn. Once it is moved I can empty the little shed and bin that next! I am sick of the squalor here..


    Girls both fed.. scrabbled eggs which they are both devouring.. maybe I can do one thing right today!

    Burnt out lawn mower and bin bag of rubbish taken to tip.
    Park visited to give DS2 a run around and me a go on the swings ;)
    Petrol bought
    We have started to clear the loft ready for the insulation people.
    So far we have discovered
    3 Christmas trees (2 binned 1 photo taken for selling)
    2 box of baubles etc (shared between charity bag and bin)
    1 box of paperwork inc 2 early class photos of DS1, my cookery lesson book from 1975/76, & our engagement cards from 2001. More evidence of my hoarding tendancies.
    OH is ironing as my back is very painfull.

    Pigpen - sounds like you're doing loads of stuff "right" and not just today - go have a nap, OH can look after everything and if he can't then a swift, sharp kick is in order - he helped make them, he can help look after them, hope you get some sleep and feel better soon

    DS had a clear out of gibble in his room with help from me and DD lol - he got rid of a big bag of rubbish, bag to charity shop and 12 annuals for the school lunch club :]] Its the first time he's done a major clearout [I've done them before]

    Avon books collected, honestly, you'd think people would order stuff knowing I'm not doing this for fun lol

    Kids are not playing nicely now so I think its time for a DVD afternoon

    Hi everyone,

    I spent most of yesterday having a good clear out.

    Got up at 4.30 this morning to take all my [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] valuable goods to the bootfair and made £150.00.:D

    Thank you so much to everyone on this thread as you have all given me the kick up the back side I needed to declutter.

    Going to go shopping tomorrow for paint, bedding, etc for DS bedroom.
    Declutter 100 things in August 68/100

    Car insurance decision almost made, just having a break and a cuppa - need to ditch the old one.

    Sun is back out so wash 2 is out.

    Just raising my head enough to say hi

    Self inflicted head and stomach horror-movie style. I think it was worth it. I danced lots, and drank too much wine. I feel vile, lol.

    And the kids will be home soon :eek: I hope they need an early night, lol.

    Am not flying today. It's all I can do to post here... Have no energy whatever. I am a silly beggar. I rarely drink, therefore when I do, I need to do it GENTLY...

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    :wave: Morning

    I got up at 10am thinking it was 9am - 'cause that's what time my mobi said - it obviously lost an hour in the night ?!?

    Woke up to find AF was back :eek: she's just visited for 28 days _pale_ , disappeared for 2 days, and now she's back....am well fed-up. Does anyone know if this is usual for a possibly menopausal 51, nearly 52, year old? :(:o



    Rxx
    It can be - however you need to keep an eye on yourself and get off to docs if necessary...a blood test with show where you are. I'm almost exactly the same age as you -(when's your birthday?) and AF visits are few and far between and brief - you must be getting mine! :rotfl:

    have handwashed some garments ---:A
    have ironed
