Morning all :hello:

Ever get the feeling that everything is going to go wrong today? No basis for it, but I feel like I am walking around with a black cloud over my head. Need to try and shake it off.

Gave the LR a right good going over yesterday, along with the bathroom. I also lifted the smelly bathroom carpet :j and pulled up the gripper rods as we are due to have the new vinyl floor fitted today It will be so nice to have flooring I can CLEAN in there.

Today I need to tidy the boys' room a bit, sort out our bedroom and clean some windows. I also need to rummage in the freezer for dinner as the pulled pork joint I cooked last night is as hard as a brick DS1 has the dentist after school, then DS2's parents evening, then we have to go and see FIL to decide which photos from our wedding we want printed for the album. Doubt we'll be home before 7, maybe something I can whack in the SC is the way forward.

Starting in earnest with a HHC at 10 if anyone wants to join in the fun?

Morning all

My head hurts this morning as I slipped on the bathroom floor last night and fell onto the edge of the wall cabinet. Scary how much blood!! I now have a corner-shaped bloody mark and a big lump above my right eye. I think I will have to make up a story of some sort of frantic s*xual encounter as a house-work related injury just isn't cool :cool:

I meant to say yesterday I'm so pleased to hear Mr GI has a temp job; as someone who has been long-term out of work in the past I know how soul-destroying the experience can be. Onwards & upwards!!

Love, hugs, sticks, spoons and motivational kicks up the backside as required xx

FizzWhizz you were in my dream last night.... all I can remember is you had long blonde hair and were very proud of it.

It's dry-ish and the sun is trying to shine so I may be able to hang out some washing!

Dustykitten

Oh Bonnie you do make me laugh, please take care with a head injury though.

Been updating the 'control journal' for 2 hours now! Almost there and then I need to email it to DH to do his bits. Also been sorting out what policies/cash is where so that we can do a Will.

Just one page to go and the washing to put on the line then shower and change the cats beds. Sun has come out here so I'll treat myself to an hour or so gardening today.

mrs-moneypenny

ouch Bonnie, hope your head is better soon.

too damp here to hang washing out but at last its not raining.

HHC anyone? im going to nip on the wii

Productive morning so far, washing put away, next load in the WM.
Yard cleaned, recycling taken out. Vacuuming and bedroom done, luckily our bedroom is generally free from clutter anyway! I've persuaded OH to sort her floordrobe at some point today

Just need to wash out the vacuum filters now I've done the vacuuming, and clean the windows, which I think I'll leave as a big job and do the whole house on Thurs.

Morning all,

Fizz I'm sure you can make that cloud go away with something positive, find something that makes you smile even if it's little and I hope it helps.
Ouch Bonnie that sounds painful take care of yourself today.

Nice bright day up here but still looking grey in the cloud department so not expecting much. At the desk job all day then have a meeting for the evening job tonight. Two hour gap in between so will try flying and other bits there.

really sorry if i offended anyone with my comment about none of us living in pristene palaces i shouldnt have generalised i meant i dont but the flylady thread and you good people helps it look tidier and less cluttered by giving me a routine to work to.

Sounds like chez Honey Bear to a T - and I certainly wasn't offended. (I may be wrong about this, but I think the fact that Bossy added a :rotfl: after her :eek: might have meant that she agreed too.)

Another trip to the sympathetic vet for more painkillers for Mrs Dog, on the proviso that she will go for an exam next time, rather than a repeat prescription. My usual vet is on holiday, so the locum's kindness was much appreciated, not least by Mrs Dog. I don't know how I'm going to get her to co-operate if she has to be prodded and poked

LW - how are the mouth ulcers healing?

Dustykitten

Yay I've stuck at it and completed all my updates, sent to DH now for his.

Still in my PJs but heyho. To the washing line and then shower in that order.
