    Hi all

    Thankfully, I'm feeling a little better today, despite still having a lot of pain, and now being dogless (Ted was collected at 09:45 this morning).

    Piggers good idea getting Triker to do your signing thingy; it's something I'd struggle with I think; when we made our Wills, we had to get one of Mr LW's former colleagues and his wife to witness them for us. Thinking back, I've had the Pharmacist sign things before (when I lived near Bicester), and also the Mensa Local Secretary (sadly now deceased).

    JulieJim Thank you, no I don't need more work - I struggle to get through what I've already got!!:D What I really really want (oops, shades of the Spice Girls there):eek: is to be pain-free and have enough energy to do my Flying at a reasonable pace, and have some me-time, or at least some time and energy for other things; right now, I'm spending all my waking hours cleaning and cooking, and that'd get anyone down, I think.

    Mumto5 (((HUGS))) You know what - Stuff 'em! They're treating you worse than the dirt on the floor, imho;:mad: just go in for the time you must, do what you have to while you're there, and leave with your head held high. They are so not worth the waste of energy stressing.

    Froddy I think I'll stick to doing an open-ended bucket list; if I put a time limit on it, I'll get stressed, as I'm quite OCD about doing things in a timely fashion. Also, money is going to be a major issue when the Gov't stop all my benefits; I'll just have my tiny Civil Service pension to live on, and I don't want to sponge off Mr LW.:o

    Bossy owww, poor Babymoo;:( I've had infected ulcers before so I know exactly what she's going through. GWS vibes for the poor little mite.

    Lounge and hall day for me today - still having to dust around the large dragons as I still can't lift them, even using both hands. And I need to cook some sausages for tonight's sausage salad.;)

    ETA I also ought to try and do the bathroom today, as we're out tomorrow.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Hear hear :T:T I was wondering how to word my feelings and LameWolf has done it perfectly.

    LW glad to hear you are feeling a bit better today. Please take it easy and build some 'me' time into your day. I know you feel you need to be doing stuff while Mr LW is at work but I'm sure he would prefer a happy sparkling wife to a sparkling house any day ;)

    Oh I've realised that the flylady bus is no good for you parked out front :o I forgot to set it to 'levitate on arrival' so I'll re-programme from here, so it will be parked in the back garden and you can safely go out the back door and sit in the van to absorb the :smileyhea

    Right, I'm off for a HHC 11.00-11.30am if anyone fancies joining me??

    Bonnie - I love your posts - always sparkly and happy - make me smile everytime I read them :]]

    Been to Market, bought material, Veg, bread rolls and a PE bag for DS. Also got Trainers for either me or DD, depends who they fit and they were £3 - bonus. DD only uses them for PE so they should last her ages as she doesn't put much effort into PE lol

    Coffee now and then its stairs and landing time

    PS - LW, you were spot on with your message to Mum re the job x

    Good morning everyone

    What is not on my list is done and what is on the list should be achievable as DH is out helping a friend until this evening; so I can get on with things in my own time.
    I must do HH paperwork first as it tends to be left and then becomes a problem.

    welcome to all newbies and returners. I've not been long back myself and have found it a great help in getting me organised.
    I really enjoy the challenge.
