    Oh Jacci so sorry to hear that, big hugs.

    Natty hugs for you and little cat too.

    I'm in, in my usual fashion. Tomorrow is my 'work at home' day and I have a lot of paperwork to sort, also plan to finish off master bedroom as it didn't get done properly this week (understatement). Tues I'm on an ADHD course, then Wed-Fri at uni work so not sure how much flying will result.

    Had a nice couple of days at my brother's so at least the house hasn't got messy this weekend, although you'd think dust would have the decency to stay away when I'm not at home.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Thank you for the new thread, Natty - hope you're OK and that Amycat has a better night: ((hugs)) to you both - and thanks to Dusty for last week's thread. I shall be working mainly from my own lists again this week but taking note of reminders to do bits that I have omitted, such as cleaning the living room windows :o The garden really does need some attention, but I have computer work to do and need to empty the utility and strip the walls if I am ever going to get this house finished. We also have quite a busy week ahead with various appointments and meetings, so I need to be more self-disciplined.

    :wave: Welcome back on the wagon, FBO. 4 days is good, and Day 5 tomorrow will be even better :) All the York meet flyladies will be rooting for you, I know. How's Ozzie?

    So sorry to hear about your loss, jacci. Be easy on yourself and have a (((hug))) from me too.

    Mumto5, I'm glad you managed to post this evening. Sleep well.

    Goodnight all.

    Love and hugs to all in need.. that'll be everyone then?!

    BD bouncing on my head again today.. I was fine the last couple of days and here it is again biting my behind... I hate this dog! I actually think it is a girl dog!


    Pixie has decided it is time to go to bed at a sensible time so has been offing herself to bed about 8/8:30 waking for a feed about 11 and then sleeping until around 8-9am.. this I can live with!!! She is such a treasure.. she developed a tooth on Wednesday with no warning or signs of teething or anything!! Such a star!!


    I am spending this week catching up on laundry and very little else.. I fell over the vacuum cleaner tube and.. you guessed it.. crunched my injured toe!!! I am such a moron! I continued my day with trapping my finger in a tub of DS3's test strips so I got a blood blister, and spent 3 hours knitting only to realise I had an error on the 2nd row.. pulled all that out and am just knitting it back up before bed.


    TY Natty.. love to puss.. She is not the last link to your mum.. you have you! and all the things she gave you.. life, memories, fun days, sad days and all those wise old sayings! Here's hoping Amycat is soon on the mend

    Morning all, thanks Natty. Didnt sleep very well so not a great start to the day. I was dreaming about taking the kids camping - where on earth did that come from?

    Hugs Jacci.

    Quite a lot of paid stuff today, at both jobs, so I am glad we are doing the Living Room as its reasonably OK!

    I really need to start thinking about the garden soon too, its a complete mess but that might have to wait (and anyway its like a swamp out there this morning).

    Off to make brekkie and try and wake up a bit.
  • Morning all

    Love and hugs - Jacci45
    Natty - healing vibes for your little cat
    Pigpen bless you, you have such a beautiful way of expressing yourself you always make me cry (in a good way)

    Won't be joining you much this week - still really poorly.

    If anyone can play the bagpipes please come and remove the set that is sitting in my chest and wheezing tunelessly so I cannot sleep. I just need sleep! Giving in and ringing the GP this morning.

    Love and hugs to you all for whatever reason you need them - I'll catch up later. xx

    I am in this week please, thank you for the lists.

    BD is giving me some issues the last few weeks since the health visitor came, as she wanted me to go back to the GP (having already been 3 times) with ds1 so I chickened out and OH took him and came home telling me they have referred him to the hospital so we are waiting on a appointment, FINALLY!

    Sorry we are all having a bad time.
    NATTY I Hope amycat is feeling better today.
    JACCI I am very sorry for your loss.

    There is a lot more I have missed but I need to get the small people dressed.
