Today i have done breakfast and Sunday lunch, did dishes and folded some clothes.

Am not doing a great deal of anything today my head is still painful if its still like this on monday i will ring my neuro consultant but i just know he will want me to have a lumbar puncture which will leave me out of action for a week and its DD birthday on Thursday she will be 5 . So i think i will just leave it till Friday and see how i feel.

Soothing vibes to those feeling poorly.

I was 24 hours out in my prediction but;

DD: we need more food
Me: go and get some then
DD: me?
Me: yes, you

That was 3 hours ago...

Minimal flying today, hair dyed (re-growth & grey decluttered) & lots of books in piles in the LR to be listed, reorganised & put back tidily. I'm not busting a gut today am I :rotfl:

Aww mrs mp I remember about your poor little niece (hugs)

Not a lot happening here. Kids are playing elefun in the now empty conservatory. Lots of squealing going on. I've sifted through a huge pile of "artwork" and kept a couple of "masterpieces" and recycled the rest. Also edited the craft drawers for when everything is re homed.

Next stop: ironing board :cool:

Valli

DS's room is really, really tidy.

I might get used to this...

what with shopping (ie biscuits etc) still being in the cupboard within an hour or two of being put there...

He has two lovely girls sharing his flat and there is another young man, The other young man doesn't seem to be mixing; unfortunately. One of the girls is Welsh - I'm a sucker for a Welsh accent!

Been to the picnic, I don't really like those sorts of things but it seemed rude not to go. Did chat to a really nice Mum and we exchanged phone numbers.

Had a humdinger of a row with DS1 before I went out, Valli I envy you with your son living away for a while.

Going to tidy the kitchen and make a quick apple crumble and see when my friend is coming around.
