Hi all,

I just wanted pop on and say that Toots brother has been in touch to let us know that they have decided on family flowers only.

Toots has left instruction that any monies raised her name go to Macmillan or myesthenia gravis association (keeping us organised as always )

Decogecko very kindly posted a link t'other day for Macmillan,

And here is a link for The Myesthenia Gravis Association

(I'm really hoping this has worked on the iPad. If not give me five minutes to log on from laptop!)

Extra Mission : help yourself

My very own special list:

• Pick up Emma's Diary pack from Boots / Argos
• Buy a new cooker and freecycle the old one
• Convert Euros and put them into account
• Rearrange hospital appointment

System

I think I've been approaching this all wrong, with my usual initial enthusiasm trying to do everything at once and not succeeding! So I'm going to start again and attempt the 15mins a day tasks, then when I'm comfy with that I can get more ambitious.

By the way, what are sticks & spoons?
Thanks Rx

Spoons = http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/wpress/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/

Sticks are thrown to send off the Black Dog when he visits

Evening all. Very productive day, and a rather more settled DS who has now decided he likes school and "hotdog club" (after school club where they were having hotdogs when we visited - he only goes twice a week...)

Much done in clearing conservatory, around feeding children and generally trying not to leave the rest of the house in devastation.

Promised DD I'd take her swimming tomorrow, so I've invited my mum too. We can take turns watching DD and both still get a few lengths in :T she's feeling a bit down lately so hoping DD and I can cheer her up - we are well practiced at finding the bright side to look at

Will do kids beds tomorrow too, laundry basket not looking too scary, although a hhi is in order - will probably leave till DS uniform is all washed though.

I'll go update my list I think! X

Most of the deliveries have been done Just 1 that can't pay until next week, 3 to do in the morning and I should be sorted I still have books/newsletters to do so I'm going to put something on to watch while I staple notes to the books...I only have about 160 to go _pale_ The the newsletters need to be addressed and put in. I can see it taking me a long time, but I'm not staying up past 11pm, I'm feeling rough and coming down with a cold again.

Flying wise....I've made tea, decluttered stuff to customers and tidied up I think Saturday will be a cleaning day here. Off to put my pyjamas on and get comfy to work

Raph.... Spray hairspray on the newsprint until it runs and the ink should dissolve so that you can wipe it away.
Cubs were up the woods today so DS and I now have muddy boots to clean when the mud has dried off enough.
DH has painted some coving and more of the ceiling.
Nothing from the list done today as been unable to or it's been done already
