grannynise

So glad I was going late into work this morning ... instead of doing the millions of things I should have done have been able to catch up on all the news.

galantvr4 i hope all goes well for you with your LO at the hospital.

Happyathome Surely if your meds are well managed you'll be your usual self? I need to hear your views on life, they make me laugh!

Pigpen and TGN --- you should be ashamed of yourselves. Taking time out to FLIRT when you could be cleaning an oven? Where are your priorities?

Big Thanks everyone, your all so kind!!

She still cant walk today, but is trying to put her foot down, regular meds and we'll see how it goes

Michelle - Housework will definitely still be there when you get back,i just suggest you keep ticking with a load of washing a day so at least you have clothes to wear.
Great tip, just got a load in WM doubt if it will get ironed tho!

I'll tackle the dishes when shes watching Cbeebies, then she wants to make pink cupcakes!!

Haven't even got enough slummy of any one kind to pay in with my cheque. Guess it's going to have to wait. Oh well, off to wash the dishes and put the washing on as I forgot to start the machine before :rolleyes:

Ok flybabes - time for me to take the walk of shame in to the naughty corner for a beating with the lazy stick..... it didn't really happen for me yesterday. Did manage level one, but should have been able to do at least level two and didn't

I will try and make amends this evening -kitchen floor and cupboards at least

Only Tuesday and I'm a day behind......

Well done to everyone else. Me trying and failing should inspire you all, cos you all DID IT. You should be proud of your achievements

quiet please, ladies and gentlemen. pigpen to serve.......

Morning everyone, another sunny day here so thought I would pop in and say hi while the washing finishes and I have my coffee. Fingers crossed no 'scattered showers' hit today or I'll be in and out with the laundry again. Hoping to get everything I need to done before mid day as I might have to pop through to Birtley later for DP if his stuff arrives at the shop if he doesn't manage to finish work early. Water heater also on, no hot water to clean breakfast dishes or the floors with.

Galantvr4 fingers crossed she's feeling a bit better today and might find it easier as the day goes on, pink cup cakes sound yummy!
Rach well done to you and your friend on the weight loss
Michelle, gosh how the time is flying by, 9 months check already, Charlie doesn't seem to have been a baby very long at all. Hope everything goes ok at his check and he doesn't demolish the house before you leave :rotfl:
grannynise I am sure you have more than earned a late start with all the late finishes you put in, as for shopping delivery at 7am, take my hat off to you, no way I'd be able to cope with that so early!!
nicki hope your Mum has a lovely birthday - I NEED THAT SIGN
TNG - tut tut, but we'll forgive you this once might just beat you with my feather duster anyway because that sounds fun personally I would say today is a new day and just forget about what you didn't get done.

Morning all

The gardener's been and now I have a lovely new lawn and cleared flower beds... apparently he removed 1.5 tonnes of debris from the back garden... which all had to be carted out through the house. The floors were washed twice last night, and still need done again :-S And the cats have found all the mud really interesting - there are muddy pawprints all over the place - even up the side of the wall?!??? :-S

Don't have masses of time today (esp considering mother arrives tomorrow!) Am going out for dinner tonight to meet the OH's exgirlfriend :eek:

Need to:
- change the bedding
- clear the remaining clutter from the bedroom and living room
- wash the floors throughout
- S&S bathroom
- plus whatever else I can fit in off today's list!

rach - well done on the weightloss!

galantvr4 - fingers crossed the test come back ok. My best friend at school was diagnosed with severe arthritis when she was 7 - by the time she was about 18 she started to grow out of it. I haven't spoken to her for years though, so don't know how she is doing now.

Morning all

Waiting for Asda delivery so not much done yet. I did damp wipe living room yesterday and vacuum so it's not bad. I'll try to make myself do it later.

One load of washing on the line, not doing much. I have washed up and put everything away (and watched Corrie......)
