  • oh honeybear, i feel your pain and frustration. how about reading through both or getting someone else to and seeing which one you want to go with. maybe you could shelve one and use that for a different story once this one is finished.

    HoneyBear I think mrs m-p is right, you now have an opening for novel no. 2 ;)

    Today I have been wearing my animal-print onesie. The one that DD said made me look like 'a short fat leopard'. Not entirely untrue, but unkind, nevertheless.

    Another load on the line and towels finishing off in the TD. I'm going to bake banana bread now.

  • the good news is that mum is now tolerating fluids.

    the bad news is that the GP has confirmed DH's self diagnosis! He is now awaiting a scan. Just to clarify - this is an arm injury, not a leg one! (And thankfully, he is fit to go to work in the interim.!)
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j
  • good news about your mum CY, and glad that your DH decided to take himself to the drs, i hope his prompt action means treatment will be successful and he is soon on the road to recovery

    Can I just say how much I love this thread :D It gives me a good kick up the bum each week. I've just sorted out the tv cabinet, 3 built in shelves in the living room and taken 2 prams upstairs that I wasn't using. It looks so much better down here!!

    Change pet bedding, they will be spending even more time in them now the weather is turning This will have to wait until the weekend. Two of our big dogs live outside in custom made kennels and I need OH to help me remove their old bedding, sanitise, put down foam mats for insulation and replace with winter bedding. Our eldest dog has taken to sleeping outside with the good weather but now it's getting colder I'll have to get her bed out and bring her inside at night.

    Hmm work is getting in the way of flying this week so I've still not made the casserole :( I have done the washing up though, cooked some plain rice and fed it to No1 cat. No1 cat is now is quarantine in the living room whilst No2 cat is in the DR, she won't be fed until much later as she's still poorly. No1 cat was very appreciative of his dinner and did that pawing thing cats do.

    Quick biccie then I'll clear the draining board again.
