    Hiya
    Not done much today as was out until 930pm. Had a fab day so it's been worth it! Made sure I didn't make any mess this morning so all downstairs still very tired. Tidied a few things in bedroom but will finish off in the morning. Off to bed now as shattered! Take care all xx

    Well I have sorted 2 of the piles, few bits left to file and a few to action but mainly recycled! Still some piles to go but at least I can move the mouse now with out setting off a chain reaction of tumbling paper.

    Off to the lottie in the morning if it is not raining, if it is bathroom first.

    Night to anybody who is still up x

    hey all

    7ww, have replied - you're a star! i'm so excited!!!

    well, i go away tomorrow, to friend's in brum overnight, then to see OH in london (his bday on sat) then to scout camp on monday-friday. just about packed for camp, OHs prezzies in a bag and just need to finish packing for weekend. gotta leave at 9ish for drs in the morning, and want to have everything in car so i can just go straight off. so early rise for me!

    just feel worn out at the moment, a bit like i'm chasing my tail. house is not as tidy as i'd like (thats the effect of having someone here) i really want to hoover before i leave in the morning. feel like i need some time and space to myself but that's not gonna happen for at least 2 weeks, though i guess at OHs its possible, he is happy to let me just be!

    sorry, moan over. :)

    michelle - are you ok? seems like things not good at the mo. take care.

    Hiya
    I've got a lot to do today and we're going out at 1030 so I'd better get started soon. I'm going to limit how much I do in the study as my dh uses it as a dumping ground and itsn't about to stop any time soon so i'm not breaking my neck about it. He's already noticing the rest of the house is tidy and the study isn't so hopefully he'll feel guilty and get his act together. Then again, is that a flying pig I see.

    Have a good day xx

    Morning All

    Failed miserably yesterday but it was oh's birthday and we were busy all day - thats my excuse and Im sticking to it.

    Today am meant to be heading for the beach but I know I will at least get level 1 done.

    Have a great day.
  • Good morning everyone,

    I'm nursing a slight headache this morning - I blame that third glass of wine! Still nothing a few mugs of tea plus some ginger cake (courtesy of my mum) won't cure.

    Cha97michelle: I hope you are feeling a bit better this morning. Take care, because you''re definitely not sounding on top form.

    I'm meeting some of my ex-colleagues for drinks and a bite to eat this afternoon/evening so all flying will have to be done by early afternoon.

    Take care everyone

    PS Mermaid - I think my dad has got some wierd genes. He still goes to the gym 3 times a week (though he has now been forbidden to run on the treadmill and is only allowed to walk briskly). And when I phoned him last night I was asked to call him back later to give him time to finish hoeing the veg patch (this was at 8.00 at night!) I need some of his energy!
