    Night all

    Just wanted to check in. I've not achieved anything off today's list today but did do some of it on Sunday so the place doesn't look too shabby yet. I've done all the dailies which takes a good hour so now I can go to bed :) Work is work, crazy and never ending. It'll all calm down in a couple of weeks when they leave to do exams so I just have to survive until then!

    Hugs to all who need them

    Now you've made me cry again.. I was almost ok until OH started crying then I just fell to bits.. see sometimes he may be a twerp but he is so lovely and sensitive there is a reason I keep him. DS3 is devastated and guilt ridden, I doubt he will be at school tomorrow.

    DD2 has hospital on Tuesday, apparently I'm going with her.. I fully support her right to choose what she does and respect her decision but this is killing me.. :(

    DD1's OH is being a nerfherder and she is upchucking day and night.

    If I had an issue I'd be indulging in overindulging by now!

    bossy big hugs, your family are in my thoughts x
    pigpen sorry about the bunny. Sending you strength to support dd2
    lw pleased it's good news, will continue the posi-vibes for Mr LW

    Flying:

    WM x 2
    TD
    Washing hung on indoor line
    DW on and emptied
    LR, hallway, stairs and landing dusted & hettyed
    Lemon curd cake made
    2 rhubarb minis made
    Washing up done
    Kitchen s&s'd

    Just a warning about sw!nton insurance. I had my house insurance with them, they rang me a month before renewal and stated I didn't want to accept their quote as I wanted to look for myself. I said I didn't want to automatically renew but they have! I have to send proof of my new policy or be charged a £50 cancellation fee! I'm disgusted with them. But it's in the small print. I won't be using them again.

    Goodnight all

    Hi Everyone - late again


    Pigpen - soo sorry about bunny - surely gone to a happy place.

    LW - what a scare eh - glad it's good news and fingers xd for Mr LW

    Happy Birthday Kaz - sorry it's a bit late

    Dustykitten - thanks for advice - don't think we have Chinese SMs here in Fife

    White vinegar - thanks for suggestions. Will have a punt about

    Mossie bites - I also suffer very badly if bitten. They come up in big jelly blisters and itch for days :eek: Was given the following advice by an elderly Spanish lady.
    Buy fresh lemons and if you get bitten apply a slice until itching stops. Repeat as needed.
    Get a small bottle and almost fill with cold tap water. Squeeze in plenty of lemon juice and add a couple of slices. Shake well and apply to all exposed areas, even face, but mind your eyes. Do this 2 or 3 times a day as necessary. It can be drying for skin but you can moisturise which is better than getting bitten. It's worked well for me for last few years ;)


    Forgot to 'pick up' list so will update on flying tomorrow. Most of list done up to here but it is sooo difficult with DH at home all the time bless :love: he always seems to be where I want to go and offers to help when I'm about finished :rotfl:
