I'm also low on spoons Drs switched my pill from Noriday to Cerazette. It's taking my spoons away drastically and also not doing the mental department any good. I got to a kind of "stable" bit in my life and now it's all unravelling but I have to wait another two weeks before I can go back.

Cerazette not only turned me into a psychotic axe-murderer I was also pregnant within 6 months of taking it (due any day!).. My daughter was put on it a couple of weeks ago and isn't good either.. she had had the implant before which is actually the same drug as cerazette and she is still waiting to stop bleeding from June last year.

Request to change back if the Noriday was ok.. emotionally/mentally I had no issues with that.. though it was completely ineffective. (DS2 and DD2 and a couple of miscarriages )

I wish... I think they just chose to come when it would be of utmost inconvenience just to pee me off.

Your house your rules?

You can exercise your right to not feed them..... like they do to you....

Pigpen - return the compliment by making sure you do something to hack them off enough for them to not want to visit again! Honestly, people think that just because hey are related they can take liberties - very unthoughtful of them

Dusty - thinking of you and yours x

Done nothing so far - not even dressed! Need to find some mojo from somewhere

Good job we're starting downstairs this week *crack*

So far I have arisen at 6 am; out on a towel wash and the DW...

and then I went back to bed....:o

On a positive note last night's jam has set beautifully!

C'mon Helen - me and you in the shower in 3...2...1...

(separately, obviously!)

I can understand them wanting to come Sunday when it is Squeaks birthday but any other time is just to make me uncomfortable and irritable.. not that it takes anything at all lol.

They are hacked off enough that OH and I are together I am certain of it! I'm just not good enough (I know OH's mum reads here too and knows who I am ... and today I don't actually care!) .. I don't do as I am told EVER! and I don't have any kind of addiction and I loathe smoking.. not to mention voting for the wrong political party and OH and I aren't married either yet we have the children I don't need to say or do anything but be here. It amuses me in many ways.

I don't need to feed them.. they are incredibly rude and bring a packed lunch with them!

Morning all.

Finally munched the TC frog this morning. Only took 90min and 7 attempts to get through! :mad:

I'll be flying slightly off list today. I have a stack of ironing to clear, paperwork to do, finances to update, and I could do with doing an online Mr A shop if I have the money available allowing for the bills going out on Thursday..

Personal :

Update Finances
Clear paperwork pile
Sort work orders
Clear ironing pile
WM x2
DD - sort school papers out.

Flinging and Flying in the family room - living room

15 minutes?

A tidy room LOOKS like a clean room so

• empty waste bins
• remove anything that belongs elsewhere to be rehomed
• plump cushions
• wipe over coaster/sticky, icky tables
• chuck out old newspapers etc - recycle!
• quick run round with Henry on suction duty

30 minutes? as above plus-

• wipe switches, sockets and sticky door marks
• vacuum properly - move that furniture if you safely can
• lift sofa and chair cushions and vacuum under them

1hour? as above plus -

• as above plus complete dusting - don't forget the skirting boards!
• Clean the windows

EXTRA SPECIAL

• Sort out cards for November and December - because trying to find birthday cards (etc) when the shops are chock full of Christmas cards is NOT easy! Add them to your list. Put them in a MEMORABLE place - because we don't want them lost when you need them!

I've already sorted cards out until September as I order them online in batches



Think I might get DD to fly in the kitchen as well today. We're off out for the day on Friday (I'm taking her to her grandparents on her dads side by train and making it a day trip for us with a picnic lunch etc I'll be coming home on my own the same day) and I have work on Thursday although I might try and get that out the way earlier if I can.


Off to put the washing on and chase DD into the kitchen to wash up Anyone up for a HHC at 10.30?

Still sorting out my drawers - I've now got a pile of stuff on the LR floor but nothing in the drawers. Suppose I'd better crack on then!

Goodintentions

Good morning
I am in this week - thanks Valli for the lists
I have 1 load in the WM - hoping to get it out & in before it rains. it should dry quickly as it is warm & windy. I have hoovered all through downstairs (and then sat in front of the fan for a while to cool down!) I have also had a quick tidy round. the bins will be emptied tomorrow night, so I haven't done that yet.

I am in the process of making a shopping list, and DH & DS are going to @ldi on their bikes to save petrol It is going to be a struggle this month moneywise as I do not have many children to look after in the summer (mainly term time). on the plus side, I have signed up a new little girl for after school from September, and had a visit from a family who may need care for their 5 month old (he is SO cute!) but she needs to get a job first, and is visiting other minders, so nothing definite (some job-getting vibes for her - and me! - would be helpful )

I am now going to do another half hour or so on my Food Hygiene course - I want to get it out of the way. Then need to do some paperwork (as always!)

Hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them
