Morning all
I'm in again this week, thank you for the lists Dusty and Natty :A
I have quickly read the thread so far and it seems there's quite a few that need extra hugs, spoons, get well soon and general positive vibes; sending all I can muster to anyone that wants/needs....
I cycled to school with DD2 this morning so more than HHE doneIt was soooo cold out there but at least the sun is almost out and it's not grey and dreary
So far today I have S&S kitchen, DW loaded and running, all the beds are made and sausages out of the freezer (sausage and mash for tea with loads of veg and onion gravy). Looking at the list, I'm wondering if I should tackle the study as my RoD... It's full to bursting but not much of it is mine..... It would be a much nicer space to work in if it was less cluttered though... decisions, decisions... :think:

Dusty thanks for the list, I'm trying to be in. Last week was flapping rather than flying as except for Tuesday I had DD home all week ill. She's just gone back today.
Goodintentions I hope SD recovers well and that your Mum can have a little break - what a good job it was that DH went to sort her out not you as I think clambering over a side gate was rather tricky!
Natty have you seen anyone re your grapes? Sorry I wasn't around last week so you may well have said that you have but if not it may be worth going to see someone to maybe have some stronger medicine and give you a check over?
Right, going to see what I can do now - haven't even made the beds yet but I have been working (sort of, plus a bit of looking on the internet too). Here's my list:

Hi all
Well I picked a good week to take off work to make a start on the garden - we have the white stuff here, not much (we are protected here a bit) but enough to prevent me from getting the lawnmower out :rotfl:
There are a few of you poorly, have injuries or have family & friends
that have or are poorly, healing vibes to you all.
DW on
Clothes folded and put in ironing basket
Cats fed & sorted
Beds stripped (didn't happen Saturday)
Bin in my bedroom emptied.
Right where is the list, I have a sunroom/lean too to sort. I may be sometime

The Dragon - I remember when I had to have MRIs - so noisy aren't they. Mind you saying that I had my second one when DD was 6 weeks old and I was so shattered I fell asleep in the scanner!!
At the moment all my rooms are rooms of doom so working my way around doing odds and ends. Made the beds, put the dishes away, loaded WM, shone my sink, vacuumed right through and swept through entrance porch so looking tidier.Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
Thanks for the well-wishes everyone - I've heard from my boss that my friend is going to be okay. Horse piddle are saying it's not as bad as first feared, so she hopes to be home either tomorrow or Wednesday and is saying she'll be back in work by next week. She's been ordered not to hurry to rush back as we're all chipping in with her shifts (and fortunately, she's not struggling for money); just so relieved - not the Mother's Day she was expecting by any stretch!
I've been into town today to the beauty salon and have decluttered eyebrows and bikini line and had a lovely manicure, exfoliation, heat treatment and polish. I feel a million dollars now - wish I had spare pennies for luxuries like this on a frequent basis. Been to thank my boss for the vouchers and show off my brows and nails - didn't think she'd appreciate seeing the bikini line :rotfl:
Off to to HHAdmin if anyone wants some company - ready, set, GO!!!!!!
