Hi everyone,


I'm another feeling very achey at the moment. We walked round London Zoo on Saturday (and from King's X to Regent's Park and I found it very hard work.


I'm waiting for DD to let me know that she is back from Glastonbury safely, I'm sure that I'd have heard if she hadn't but I do like confirmation.


I've got a busy few days ahead because we're going up to Yorkshire on Wednesday night as we're having guests coming to watch the start of the Tour de France. I need to get the house clean and sort the packing and I have a course tomorrow morning.


Have a good day everyone.

Morning all,


Sistercas nice to see you back I was wondering where you were, what a worry with dd1 ! I hope you feel better soon x


Day off today as has dd, we are off to a vintage clothing sale where you basically rummage and pay per kg, got to be worth a look, We will probably have lunch out then a look in Dunelm just want to price up some curtains for my hallway I know what I want but whats the betting they don't have them !


Cold chicken for dinner with mash and salad chicken is cooked so will just do some spuds later on.


Something has been got in the garden, there is a big pile of grey feathers but luckily nothing else unless OH moved it before work.


Ok have good days all xx

Morning all I hope you all had a good weekend,

bright and sunny here today. Ive got a million and one things to do and don't know where to start.:( Considering no one ever makes a mess in our house its amazing where the mess comes from.:mad:

TTFTM I hope your feeling better soon. Same to you sistercas, I hope the pain from your tooth subsides now you've had treatment from your dentist. I'm lucky, I don't think ive ever had toothache.

Chores for today:

[strike]Vacuum upstairs[/strike]
[strike]Dust/clean upstairs[/strike]
[strike]Vacuum stairs[/strike]
[strike]kitchen floor[/strike]
[strike]Vacuum downstairs[/strike]
[strike]Dust/clean downstairs[/strike]

[strike]Laundry[/strike]
Tea - Barbecued chicken and something (not decided what yet)

I'm not sure I will be able to complete the lot but i'll have a good go.

Onwards and forwards (and as my Mother used to say, 'Stick a broom up my @rse and i'll sweep the floor),

have a great day all.

Jlhmd, as a fellow fibro, please don't overdo it with the housework. I know how hard it is when you see everything that needs doing but cannot do it all. I too have a list that i like to tick things off, although days do slip if I wake up with the dreaded fibro headaches and rib pain. (Hope you don't mind me saying this, but I overdid it a couple of weeks ago, and was totally whacked all last week, just had to sit most of the week.)

Thanks I am really trying to get the house back up to scratch as it has become neglected since my diagnosis I overdid things last week and MIL ended up taking the brood as I didn't even have the energy to cook that night

I think, if I do small things and try and tick them off the list, the jobs won't seem so big and daunting. I hate having this though. I am so exhausted a lot of the time and my whole body just has this heavy ache. The house really does need sorting though

I hope you're feeling better now

Good afternoon everyone :wave:

Sorry I've been MIA for a while as I had let the big black dog in to come and squish me and I have been quite ill. I'm feeling a lot better now though so I thought I would post.

I have given up on weightwatchers and slimfast now lol....not a great shocker really! I have, however, joined slimming world online and it's all new to me so it's giving me something to focus on and hopefully I will lose some weight and feel a bit better about myself. I think there is a lady on here that is doing SW, any hints or tips would be fab .

The house has gone to rack and ruin whilst I've been poorly but I can only do little bits at the mo. My girls will help me after school, they only moan a little bit :rotfl:. I can manage to make tea for us all and of course it has to be very healthy. Tonights offering is bacon and spinach spaghetti. I'll use the very low fat creme fraiche as the sauce but everyone likes it. I'm still full from my cooked breakfast so will just have a snack to keep me going this afternoon.

Hope everyone is ok, take care xx.

I'm a great believer in lists. Having a list saves wasting energy trying to remember all the tasks you need to do!:D Also, if you can try build in rest periods, or at least intersperse sitting-down tasks between the others, that'll help, too. I know just how you feel - I have lupus, which is also very painful and extremely debilitating, and like you, I hate having it.

Afternoon all,

Started off lovely and bright this morning but rainy this afternoon. It was supposed to be the schools sports day this afternoon but the heavens opened just before the start so it has been postponed. I stayed behind and helped to put up the gazebo and got soaking wet. Waterproof jacket didn't work very well!

Sistercas - Hope the mouth is feeling better.

Dumpling - Glad you are feeling better.

Afternoon all,

I'm just popping in a sour visitors have gone glamping to Warwick castle so we have a quietish evening. They've taken ds3 as well. They are in a huge tent with a four poster bed!
It's been lovely having a day to catch up with the house and washing etc and also I've even done a bit of pampering.
dumpling it's me that does Slimming World. I'm loving it, 1 st 2 lbs off so far. I find it very straight forward and it fits in great with the family, ask away if you get stuck.
Right off to take DGS swimming. Hugs for all the poorlies and fed ups. Bfn x

Afternoon all
I'm having an early night, I got 3 hours sleep last night & I've worked 9 hour day on my feet.
I did pasta for tea as we needed something fast & easy, I've done enough for my lunch tomorrow, so that's another job sorted.
Have a good evening everyone
Hugs Hester
