embb hoping Aunty feels better very soon.
Shame I don't live near you - I'm pretty good at putting together flat-pack furniture (though I'd probably need someone to tighten all the screws properly these days).:D It's yet another thing I'd do in preference to giving myself a facial!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just waiting for Mr LW to appear - he's on his way, but stopping off for petrol before he comes home. Dins is 2nd half of yesterday's Shepherd Spy - then I need him to help me wash my hair (hateful task, but needs must.....)

ETA just seen mummyroysof3's post - what a bummer! Hope something else comes along for DH soon.

Hi all, just popping in. Have missed my 10pm bedtime, but just off now, and NO LAPTOP IN THE BEDROOM. Just have to do my new skincare routine first!

I managed to clean the bathroom and stairs so I wasn't embarressed when the man came for the fan. I have also decluttered a couple of largish pieces of work that were bothering me. Took baby to playgroup.

I'm teaching tomorrow too mamanine.
Don't worry about 'falling off the wagon' . I Don't think I have ever once completed a whole list on here! But it does remind me to to something every day, and that is seeming to (very gradually) make a difference. The house is still often (usually?!) messy, but the messes are slowly getting smaller. Yesterday I put away the clean laundry (pile was nearly as high as my 2 yr old!) and even just things like that (which I should be doing anywAY!) make me feel a bit saner. This littlies helped me. I hope you find your groove, and a good balance between kid-time and house-time.

That should explain the spoons .
It's DD's birthday today, 13 years old. I bought her a beautiful cake and then the woofer had a go at it :eek:!
LW, thanks for the healing vibes for Willow. I think they may have worked a touch too well as (I got DH to open our window a little smidge this am), I went up to give her antibiotics at 9 and the window had been pushed open (I struggle to open this window and Willow is tiny!), and Willow is nowhere to be seen. Darn cat has done a bunk from my bedroom window which is the only upstairs window with nothing to jump down on to :eek:. I couldn't find her all day! She's back and safe as far as I can tell.

Pigpen, sorry to hear about your Aunt, I hope you get the support you need during this time.
Sorry to the Aunt who had the stroke, I hope her recovery time is short.

I managed to get most of the housework up together but didn't do the beds. As Willow went off, I ran upstairs with the Hoover as there was cat litter all over the place.

Welcome back, narcolepsy xx- doesn't seem that long ago!
Ok, cub training day tomorrow, so night all xx
