Today I want to:

Cut DHs hair
Wrap last few presents
Hoover skirtings
Mop floors

Sleep for more than 4 hours in any 24 hour period...! Poor sleep pattern!

My gosh, can't believe I wrote that almost 24 hours ago :S I've done lots of other jobs not on the list, and I slept in the afternoon haha!

Same list applies for today, plus deep clean bathroom which I've started on. Got Drs/Hospital today!

Natty68

So sorry for the late posting of todays list, I went to bed at 6pm last night as I was feeling decidedly strange - turned out it was a touch of dodgy food from our day out at Leeds Castle (not actually the food from the Castle more from the Christmas Market stalls in the grounds!) Plus I was worrying over Olliecat having to go in today..

Anyway am away to do the listy now, so all those that thought that you had got away with a day off.. Nope!!! I'm not that nice..lol

Can I ask for lots of good vibes to be sent to my Olliecat while he is having his teeth done and xrays to see what is happening with the unexplained mass by his kidney? I know it's not the same as for those with children, but Olliecat is my big boy and DH loves him to bits and would be devastated if anything horrible was found. I am due to ring them at 1pm to see when he can come home and to talk over what they have found..well that is unless he gets too stroppy and they decide he can come home earlier..lol Thank you everyone xxx

I now have a cough to go with my failing body lol.. though, other than the huge new ulcer the rest seem a bit better today.. see, something positive...


I hate my scales.. after them saying I had lost 7lb a couple od dayd ago today they say I haven't and I have had nothing to eat some days and others just had a couple of slices of toast for 2 weeks and the weight is the same as it was the day after I had Pixie.. !!!!!! is wrong with me???


I eat I gain weight, I don't eat I still gain weight... there must be something wrong there! I need to lose some to see if my hips feel better with less lard to lug about!

Dusty - Congrats to DS2

Dancemum - *hugs* healing vibes for your DF.

Skint - thank you for mentioning R@nge, you reminded me we have a Dunh3lm opened yesterday I was going to go today to look round but I'm stuck in waiting for a parcel to arrive.

Natty - Sending vibes for Olliecat

Well my main work has finished for this year now, I have 2 deliveries tonight, 2 (to the same house) on Monday, and 2 who need to contact me. I have someone coming to collect a delivery today (but can I remember what time I agreed? Can I hell ) and I'm waiting on a delivery to arrive (I had to put an extra order in on Monday, the website is saying "with carrier" but it was saying that yesterday morning as well so I hope it arrives today!) then I'll have someone else coming to collect their stuff and a couple of bits for DD/Me for Xmas Other work left for the year is all admin based so I can do the majority of that while DD is away over Christmas/New Year

So todays plan is to do a tiny bit of work on the window (instead of a thin outline on something its nearly an inch and looks blooming awful so I need to scrape it down to a thinner line), check that I'm happy with the rest of it, tweak it if necessary and put all the paint etc away! I also have shredding to do, shopping lists to compile as I think of stuff and a house to clean :rotfl:

It looks like DD has been snooping in my p0st-it note pad so will now know what she's getting for Xmas :mad: I wouldn't mind but I deliberately put it a few pages in so she wouldn't see it, but she's taken off pages beyond where the list is which means she would have needed to look to see which pages had stuff written on them :mad: There are at least 2 other pads she could have used excluding the one in her school blazer! Thank goodness she can't snoop at her actual pressies as I've got them locked in a suitcase under my bed.
