Gunsandbanjos sorry to hear about your husband leaving; horrid thing to be going through (((hugs))).

Everyone is doing great with the lists and really putting me to shame! Got kids up to school, done beds and WM going; now got phone call to make and then walking my dog with a friend and doing a bit of shopping. Going to attack the lounge today so will go from this list and also want to:
* Declutter DD's drawers in lounge (full of toys she's outgrown)
* Clean out chooks

Feeling a bit upset as I posted on another money forum on here asking for advice and got blasted by someone who obviously has a personal problem - why are people like that? Won't let it get to me but still hurtful.

Hugs Mumof2, somepeople think they can type what they like and have no thought for anyone elses feelings.

Morning morning!
Successful day yesterday, managed to do everything on my list except clean the windows. But, I did HH ironing instead so not all bad!
Today I've only got until 11.30 as DD finished nurse then and she's got a friend coming over to play so hands full.

Anyway, here's list for today:

Vacuum stairs and clean painted bits along stairs (loooong overdue!)
Vacuum sofas
Empty and clean vacuum, including taping up split in Jose
De-poop the garden in case littlies want to go on trampoline
If time, do windows in the kitchen from yesterday's list

WMx2, TDx2, dishwasher already empty so just fill as I go.
Birthday cards for SM and DS and BFsx2
Gather together everything needed to do tax return (argh, I hate doing this)
Visit BF1 and give card and wish happy birthday
Phone Sister for chat and birthday wishes (it's a busy week for birthdays!)

Then I might do some more knitting with a cuppa while the girls play!
Lovely.

Bye for now

Morning all

G&B hugs, give yourself time to adjust sweetie, how is your DD?

Mumof2 just ignore them. One of the first replies I ever got on MSE was quite rude, in fact I can think of a few over the years. The thing is other people will have different points of view/agendas and sometimes they just jar.

Hairdresser due in a minute so I'll unload the DW and put the kettle on whilst I wait.

trulymadlydeeply_indebt!

After all my good intentions and looking forward to having the house to myself today, I have woken up feeling pants. Going to power down and have a nap. See you later everyone.

mrs-moneypenny

just shows what i can achieve if motivated, ive almost finished todays list, just got stair edges to do then ill start on yesterdays. i failed that because i went off on my own agenda (but i did achieve almost everything on my own 'off list list' if that makes sense.)

going to wash up then start on the kitchen, back to work today so giving myslef an hour to get te kitchen 'up to list' standard

hope you feel better after your nap TMD-ID

Kaz the answer to your question is .....today!!!! Spoon thief came and emptied the whole wretched cutlery drawer, not a spoon, spork or spatula to be found :mad::mad::mad: then a different spoon thief came along and tried all over again - I hate it when people with no moral values try and kick someone when they are already compromised (for whatever reason)

It has been an uphill struggle to take all my meds on time and eat.

*Raises two fingers to whoever has upset our Skinty* Sweetie, I can spare you a weeny salt spoon, so that you've the energy to eat some food, OK?:o Now, will you please rest and let the Flybaby brew in peace.;)

Good morning! The tree and decorations were taken down yesterday, though I woke up to "snail trails" on the hall carpet runner this morning :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: This is the first time we've had that in this house, and I think a slug/snail has been hiding in the tree pot :eek: Cue early-morning hoovering - sorry children who were still sleeping

_pale__pale__pale__pale__pale_ Uurrgghh - I have a major dislike of molluscs. Did you find the culprit? I'd be turning the place upside down til I'd located it and [STRIKE]evicted[/STRIKE] got Mr LW to evict it.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Morning! So my husband officially left last week.....

Mixed emotions even though it was my decision it's still raw and scary.

My mum and dad have been great, they came up on Sunday and we blitzed the flat so most of my flying is done Place is looking pretty good, we have broken the back of it, just need to sort through and declutter more stuff.

Not read the thread yet, hope everyone is ok xx

(((HUG))) G'n'B it will be weird at first - even the lack of bad atmosphere will feel somehow "wrong" to start with iyswim, just because you've become used to it; just allow the various emotions to come, and you'll get through it - just take a day at a time. I do speak in part from experience, even though it was me that walked out on KH. My pm box is available for support/encouragement if you wish.:o

Mumof2 (sorry, can't quote you, as I've run out of my "quotes quota") I've had that sort of experience on another MSE board; I tend to just stick to the OS board now. Some people are just plain rude, and have to show it at every opportunity. Have a (((HUG))).

I shall be attempting to dust the lounge and hall (windows are fine, as I did a major clean-off of nose art after Daisy went home); but I won't be lifting the large Dragons - I have swellings on my left wrist and right index finger, which are painful if I catch them the wrong way, and I don't want to risk dropping anything.

Must do the bins today too; it's the last week of out-of-kilter bin collections, they're back to normal next week.:T
