Morning everyone.

Was going to go into town today but had a really bad nights sleep. It was raining hard as well. Didn't help that DD rang me at 2.30am drunk. She hardly goes out so am not too mad. Just wanted me to know she was home.

So got kitchen done this morning and tidied up.

Catch up on recorded tv this afternoon.

bossy Hugs.

Vacuuming finished, more bits of gibble rehomed (how does so much stuff get in the wrong places so frequently?) dog walked, WM on with dog-grot blankets, dinner prepped for OH's arrival late tonight. As a special treat for myself I had egg and chips for lunch. I love egg and chips and I never, ever allow myself to have it but I have no idea why not.

Bossy, it sounds as though you're having a horribly tense time. (((Hugs))) and (((more hugs))).

Dusty, I know I shouldn't be sniggering about your DS2's antics last night, but at least he's in a safe place on the first occasion - under both your and Mr Kitten's watchful eyes. (I, however, would have left him on the barf-room floor, so it's probably just as well I don't have kids.)

Kitchen floor washed. Another wash out and one in. Finances checked. Currently watching a really good French movie called untouchable. Leftover chops, rice and veg about to be munched.

We are all finding it hilarious, he is so not the child to do this and keeps saying I am never doing that again. He was the politest drunk person I've ever encountered and kept saying thank you for helping me, I'm sorry. He had fallen asleep sitting on the loo and I wanted to use it hence dragging him back, also if DS3 had found him he'd have come running into me screaming that he'd died :rotfl:

Struggling with paperwork, one of 4 reports written but think I've done the 4rd most difficult one. I'll try an easy one now.

This has brought back memories. Thanks for the giggles.

Well I've done everything I wanted to except for getting out in the garden. I just CBA even though it looks a mess out there and the rain has held off, but I did take the dogs for a LONG slow walk which was lovely.

So now I am going to sit down and read yesterday's paper and then see if I feel like weeding.

Mrs Dog has decided it is her job to guard the bed when I/we're out., By sleeping in the middle of it. Bad dog. She's started grunting with pleasure and happiness again, so I can't be cross with her.

Awwww, bless her.:D Btw, cod liver oil capsule, glucosamine, calcium and Tramadol all went down the hatch along with Ruby's dins, no problem - she's Labrador through and through!:D

Aww, bless; poor chap. One time Mr LW was a tad the worse for wear after attending the beer festival, and fell asleep on the floor, I just covered him with a blanket and left him there - but in my own defence, there is no way I can lift 12 stone of drunk male!:D

I have been AWOL but I am back!

BD had me well and truly backed in to a corner.

My uncle who had his voice box removed developed a massive infection and was on deaths door.

A week ago today my OH was involved in a car crash a big van drove in to the drivers side , not at massive speed but OH has broken arm and some damage to his leg, car is wrote of as are car seats, OH was kept in hospital till Tuesday because of possible spinal injury .

My nearly 10 month old ds2 burned his hands badly on a radiator, this was my fault, I had the heating on and went in to the kitchen to dish out tea and heard him scream, ran in to find DD grabbing him of the radiator (this radiator in very low, about knee height and I am 5 ft 2 so only little) so a trip to A&E by taxi on my own with 3 kids and no car seats, that was last sunday. We did see OH at the same time haha.

Now for the positives My uncles infection is clearing up and the kids think its brilliant that he is going to talk like a robot (my uncle is not so keen)

My OH is taking it very well and should recover fairly quickly.

After taking my son to plastics on Monday they have told me the burns are not too bad, just blisters which should heal and leave no scaring and he will not need skin grafts or anything major. I am very pleased DD was playing next to them shes only 5 but them extra 30 seconds for me to get him would of made his hands much worse.

So as of Monday I would like to re-join as my house is a tip, and I go to haven with the kids on the 28th looks like it will be via train seen as we have no car and no driver lol, I am going to ask my dad to take us up and I will have to get him to borrow me the money for new car seats too.

Today and tomorrow I am going to catch up with washing. I have not read back but I hope we are all well .

LameWolf

Oh dear, lozzy you really have had it all happen at once! Good to hear that everyone's on the mend; and good to have you back on the Flylady wagon.:o
