creeps back in with tail between legs.....

sorry, been MIA since monday I've just been limping through this week I'm afraid, its been an extremely busy one and I've been very tired. I spent yesterday afternoon just watching telly with dd2 and doing some crochet when I could have done some jobs. But hey ho ho ho, its the holidays now (although I am working tues and wed next week).

Online shop coming this morning, kids to swimming lesson, big sort out and a bit of list catching up I think.

hugs and spoons and christmas cheer to everyone who needs it

Morning. I have got a soft drinks hangover. This is really not fair, starting to happen every time I go out and drive. I think it must be all the sugar in those soft drinks, I didnt even have a drink every round. Mind you I had a night out for £8.50!

Mountains of washing to do, luckily its dry and windy at the moment. I need to revise my tesco order too. Other than that its tidying, pottering and not getting stressed about what needs doing.

Have a good Saturday everyone.

Morning all. I only woke up 30 minutes ago - unheard of for me but I do feel so much better today so obviously needed it. LittleyDog was waiting patiently for me - she has slept 3 nights in a row with DD's smelly pyjamas - but poor OldDog had had a wee.

YSL - hope you feel better soon, water only next time!! And you've inspired me to paint my nails all glittery - well I will after the gardening today.

LW - sending spoons and whatever else you need over, plenty of coping vibes

Hugs to anyone who needs them.

Plan for today:
Eat (think my appetite is returning)
Walk dogs
Ironing
Hoover downstairs
Wrap presents
Gardening (want to plant shallots and maybe dig a new plot)

Not necessarily in that order.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning Flyfriends :xmassmile

Very many thanks to Secret Santa for the parcel which arrived yesterday. I've opened the box but not the inside wrapping

CY, GWS and healing vibes to your DD and her BF.
Take it easy, Jazee and Juliejim.

Yesterday was successful in many ways, though it was a hard day. Between 7 and 9 am I managed to do a number of jobs, then picked up my friend and took her for her chemo, which finished just before 8.00 pm: 10 hours worth of hospital parking fees (but not as expensive as I'd feared). Once I'd got home and had something to eat, that was it - I just zonked out!

Shopping to be done this morning, choir dress rehearsal this afternoon and concert this evening.

Hope everyone has a good day x

More Peter-come-home vibes heading your way, Pigpen.

Healing vibes for your DD2's boyf CY and for Mr Narco.

Yorkshire Lass, I knocked drinking on the head a few months ago* and finding alternatives was almost the hardest part. Any more than one tomato juice with Worcester sauce was much too acid for one evening, but it was the only sugar-free softie available in most places - until I discovered B3ck's B1ue. Most pubs and restaurants keep it. It has made going out just as pleasurable as it used to be. (I've yet to find an alcohol-free wine that I can stomach, although Sainsbobs do an alcohol-free sparkling that passes for celebratory occasions.)

* with thanks to the fabulous people on the Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol thread.

I rarely drink and second the B3ck's B1ue - very nice! Otherwise I tend to have a lime and soda water - not sugar free but much less sugary than coke or lemonade.

YL my kids get ill if they have more than a glass or too of fizzy drinks, I think they are too used to water. None of us are good on sugar/sweetners/sweets - DS3 (12) was given a box of jelly babies as a secret santa and felt ill after eating a few - he can't understand how other kids stuff themselves with sweets. I drink fizzy water if out - I can taste all the sweetners in drinks - yuck.

Bathroom cleaned.
Last couple of cards written
Birthday present wrapped
DS3's lunch cooking

Going to check a bank account and then clean the shower room.

Just had to share this news. Youngest GS2 has just got engaged to his girlfriend. He has been saving for weeks apparently. I'm so pleased for them.

Bedroom done.
Living room tidied and swept.
Clean washing put away.

Yeah the sudden rise in blood sugar is countered with a massive insulin rise causing a rapid drop in blood sugar and you then get thirsty to try and shift the excess sugar and crap.. = headache!! .. thank you to the consultant for the explanation

sugar free you tend to get artificial sweeteners which are just evil in themselves.

Lemonade drives my kidneys into overdrive and I spend 2 days weeing! with a stonking headache!

Water is the way of the future! lol

Peter Pusscat still MIA

Wrapped Squeaks presents last night... one box down about 1000 more to do.

Trying now to catch up on laundry, pack for 2 nights at the outlaws, sort the hovel for Christmas and still have a mattress and sofa in the front room.. I am very close to throwing a wobbly and chucking them out the front! .. someone will take them!
