Well, we did our ten mins, the spare room looks better but needs another HHC to get it up to scratch. DD said she put 50 things in the bin........bits of papers and old stickers!! She has a pile of clothes to put away which have been on her bed since yesterday (yes, she slept in it last night!!), she is not borrowing the laptop until they are put away properly!!! She will also get a £5 bonus if she gets them put away in the next HH otjerwise the money decreases every hour (she doesn't get any pocket money so hoping this will be an incentive for today and the future ???)0

I've tidied the side shed, thrown away a few old garden toys and swept up. Finished cutting back and weeding in the back garden, just need to toss around some PPM in a minute. DH can help me with a couple of last bits out there tomorrow.
Washing in from the line, our bed to remake and a HHC in the kitchen still to do.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
LW those boots are amazing:T Not sure I could walk in them, but great style.BB is getting old and seems to need to pee most nights on the floor of the utility area even though she's had amply opportunity to empty her bladder throughout the day and evening...
So the mop is on constant standby...toochoosey wrote: »Woke at 7, fed the dog, made a cuppa and came beck to bed!!!
We've braved the crowds in Central MK today (not nice when you're at groin-level to everyone else):eek::eek::eek::cool: but we got everything done that we had on the list... F&V stocked up, nuts (for making nut loaf) replenished, photo for new CEA card done, optician appointment made, and new socks and underpants purchased for Mr LW; this last made a sizeable hole in my pension money this month, but as he declined my offer of a tin of blue paint, new pants and socks it had to be.:rotfl:
He made our dins when we got back:A - his special "omelette-with-everything" as he calls it.:drool:
Wendy, Poohbear and other BD "owners" - I think half the trouble with a lot of GPs is they've never suffered depression, so they don't have a scooby how awful and debilitating it is; they also don't appreciate that different people react to it in different ways.:( I swear, the next one who tries to send me for a "talking therapy" is going to get a thick ear - I've had more talking therapy sessions in one lifetime than anyone should have to endure in three, and they don't help me one iota.
Hey ho - onwards and upwards; I have a list of tasks as long as my arm - it seems every time I eliminate a Frog, I create a new batch of Tadpoles in the process!:cool::DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

I've been waiting for nearly a year for three different doctors to sort out some counselling for meThe last doctor told me to basically sort it out myself :eek:

Hi all
Hugs to those with the BD with them at the moment. It pays me visits from time to time. I have had CBT counselling which I feel saved my life (I paid for this myself as I knew I had to do something, but know not everyone can afford this). I had humanistic counselling when my OH died (very kindly arranged by the local hospice) but that wasn't for me, it made me feel a hell of a lot worse. But BD is a very personal thing and what worked for me won't work for someone else. I wish some Drs realised this
Today:
Bedding changed and fresh linen put on.
LR, kitchen, stairs, landing & bedroom vacuumed
WM x 2
Decluttered 30 lengths in the pool & a haircut
Took carrier bag full of 'stuff' to CS
Item collected that I put on freecycle last night
Bathroom S&S
Have a great weekend all
Deco x0 -
