    I am here, but not really doing alot :D

    I had a migraine Wednesday night which meant I went to bed at the same time as the littlies - 7:30pm. Sleep is the only way for me to get rid of them. I only managed just under 12 hours sleep and I usually need 12-14 to totally rid myself of the dratted thing. So, was suffering a bit still yesterday and today my head just has that odd bruised feeling you get afterwards. Still, at least I can catch up and see the computer screen today though I'm under orders from dh not to do anything. How he thinks the house stays clean, the laundry gets done and the dinner appears by itself I'm not sure! q9crolleyes.gif

    Look after yourselves and have a good bank holiday as I may not be back until next week now

    Busy day and due to be busier as I have to go soon as the Bronze test is this evening and I got to go early to meet the assessor and stuff

    Did all my list though! All the upstairs is done - dusted, vacuumed and mirrors polished, and S&S'd the bathrooms and kitchen AND I tidied and cleaned out & washed the cutlery drawer of all the gunk, crumbs etc! And all my dailies too except last poo run which OH said he'd do as I have to be out early.

    And I went to the PO earlier.

    And did two loads of washing + bedding and dried it and put it away ( except for the ironing which is for tomorrow)

    Damn it feels good!!!

    feeling rather pleased with myself !!! a025.gif

    Hugs to all - hopefully have a bit more time tomorrow to read - have a good weekend!

    Right well having felt awful about 11, i came home sick from work, deduced it was severe dehydration and have since sat on the sofa drinking and drinking and drinking. Now feeling like i might be able to face something!!!

    Got to do a hoover downstairs and up, tidy my room and clean the bathroom within an hr before everyone turns up to turn my house into a bombsite. (group of us going to the pub!) Also need to go collect greenbox and i really need a nap, oh well that one might have to give, after 1 drink you will be able to find me slumped on the floor under the table at the pub snoring!

    Hope everyone has a good weekend.
    Axxx

    I have done loads of sorting and you can now see the desk again. The green box for paper recycling is full. Where does it all come from? DH is working again this weekend so I will get on with Friday jobs tomorrow once I have got DSs out of bed. They have cousins coming so they might get upi a bit earlier. I hope.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

    Evening all. Another busy day, but productive. Got the shopping done which is stuff I need to last over the hols, very small bits and pieces is all I should need tops! Left the paperwork for a while when I did this, paperwork is easier to do when kids are with me than shopping. Going to do that after a browse on the internet :) Vets done, realised when I checked Luke's booster was due just after we got back so got that done too, came back about £60 lighter :( Holly been checked, still feeling poorly so on light diet still for now.

    My Dad saved me a trip to the farm shop for the few bits I needed when he popped over. I knew he'd come over this week, 3 years this week since he found his little sister dead (my Aunty) I was very close to her aswell so knew he'd be over at some point. Don't like being too emotional in front of him but have had a quiet cry most nights this week, he's got heart trouble and a lot of stress (him and mum been seperated 18 months but sharing house, until she walked out last week) so try not to give him someone else to worry about.

    Well school holidays here now, what fun that will be as DS2s already been in upset 4 times this evening from falling out with friends. Aren't kids great!

    Have managed to get a second hand trailer for the bikes this week for DS1 (can't ride and is scared of them) so this weeks focus is to get DS2 more confident on his. Also got a second hand car bike rack, so that will come in handy and hopefully get us more active. Downside is I haven't ridden a bike for 6 years, so I'll be the one in A&E when I start :o :rotfl:
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hello,
    Becca, the pups are gorgeous!
    Happy hols to those of you tripping off this weekend (going to be deserted on here!) and happy 'grown-ups time' to those of you sending the littlies away without you. Lil_me, sad time for your Dad by the sounds of things and for you too. Chin up, Chuck.

    Feeling a bit flat at the mo. Haven't put my finger on it yet but don't quite know what to do with myself.
    I've done an overtime swap for someone which means I'm in work all day Sunday, I've half promised to meet someone on Monday that I'm really not looking forward to but I've avoided them for 6 months and I'm stressing about really stupid things.
    Maybe chocolate will fix my world. Worth a try if only to rule it out..

    Not much Flying to be done but I'm in the mood to declutter so I'll go hunting for some. Catch up with you all later.

    I'll be here over the weekend so you won't be on your own ;) but do hope those who are having time away/time together enjoy it, can't wait for our little break, need it. Solway hope Monday goes ok even if you are dreading it, enjoy that chocolate. I'm sat here with my comfort food at the mo going through more paperwork in my declutter paperwork mission, it consists of strawberries, raspberries and with a litte cereal and yoghurt , my fave comfort food at the mo, just a bit expensive :o
