Bonnie - It was going well until I started concentrating on the sewing, then I started subconsciously grinding my teeth and the pain has flared up againIf its no better by Monday I might ring up and ask to see my dentist sooner than Wednesday. I take the last antibiotic on Monday morning.

Woo hoo, I wrote on a post it note about 2 months ago, and I then spent about 6 weeks looking for it (not tearing the house apart, but just looking in the obvious places)
Mysteriously, I have just found it on the kitchen floor all screwed up! I don't know who put it there or when, only that it materialised some time after 8pm when the floor was completely spotless
Well, I am a happy Skinty now, I am going to email myself all the details so I won't loose it again!The cold never bothered me anyway0 -
Back again, flying by night :rotfl: haven't done this since DD4 was occupying my womb....DD3, DD4 and DS are all currently asleep, DD2 is out on the tiles and DD1 is gaming in LR with me.

Morning all
Natty yes you are still doing alternate weeks if that is still ok. Valli was standing in for my weeks as they were when my holiday was.
I have no problem with the personal challenges being on here but know from when we have done stars in the past keeping another post updated can be a bit challenging. Somebody could take on this role, anybody fancy it? Just need the post to be on page 1 really with a list of whoever wants to 'pledge'.
Need to shower, wake boys and leave hotel asap o get on the road, again, last leg now.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Morning all,
Even though I haven't been posting I have been flying, honest:)
House is looking heaps better, still have some hotspots to sort out but will leave that till DD1 has gone back to uni, as most of it is her stuff that she is getting ready to sort out, yeah right, will still be there the day before she goes:rotfl:
Nice day here so my bedding in the washer and can be hung out later, then I will do my room. One job I always put off is cleaning the blind in my room, so that is on the list (hope when the inches of dust are removed it doesn't disintegrate!!)
Having a cut and colour at 10am, then eyebrows waxed(ouch), little wander round the market then back to the grind.
\Have a good day everyone x0 -
Ooooh. I'm in for the Brum meet-up. Just round the corner
Enjoying holiday in Helsinki. Minimal flying as we are in a self-catering appartment and DH has just poured his breakfast over the floor. (He went into the kitchen and complained - there is no kitchen roll. Oh YES there is!)
Off island hopping today if I ever get DH into the shower and out of the door.
(((hugs))) to all in need. Hello to LW furry friends.
Best wishes to all.

Hello all, Although I have been MIA, I have been doing some low level flying! I have visitors coming next weekend so need to get things sorted this weekend as working all week. So..... plan is, to do all the downstairs lists today (think it was Mon, Wed and Frid) plus tidying up a bit in the garden. Then tomorrow I will tackle upstairs with gusto - although will still need to freshen bedroom before visitors arrive. Here's to great plans!:rotfl:0

Morning all
Bedroom isn't looking too bad although I've still got some bin bags of stuff in the DR which need sorting and putting away. DH is going to the tip shortly and then to the dentist so I don't think he'll be up to much for the rest of the day although I want to pop into town later and he may want to come with me.
I suppose I ought to get out of bed really and make a start.
Have a good day all
Hugs
