Good morning#
Not sure what the weather's going to do today, It was sunshine at 630 when OH brought me a cuppa before he went to work, but is a bit greyer now. Went back to sleep until OH woke me up with a text at 745 remindinding me to put the bin out as he'd forgotten :mad:
So I'm up and breakfasted just need to shower before starting.
Essex girl - please dont think you have failed, nobody fails in this game, we just all do different amounts, we all have different commitments and some days we dont do anything. That is not failing, its having a life
Shirleypark - you're allowed time off for good behaviour :T
The lists are just suggestions not must do's - it took me a while to realise and stop beating myself up if I didnt complete them.
Well I'll catch you all later as off to sower before DS gets up and hogs the bathroom

Morning all ... bad night sleep last night (something like 3am when my brain finally stopped buzzing) and then was up at 7.30 with DD :rolleyes: I'm letting her have a Christmas movie day again as I have jobs I want to get done and I'm in the sort of mood where it's going to take all my concentration to do them properly. Even coffee isn't helping
I'll have to catch up later as I just can't process whats been written and keep it stored in my memory :rolleyes: I think I'll grab another coffee

Morning all
Not feeling motivated at all today. Rain is forecast so of the opinion as we are gonna be stuck inside all day no need to get everything done:o . DD1 was up a few times in the night for some reason only she knows - can never get a straight answer. Cannot believe how tired that has made me feel, to think we coped with it for over 4 years - god knows how:eek: .

MICHELLE - Sorry you are having such a [EMAIL="cr@ppy"]cr@ppy[/EMAIL] time of it. I know when I was due to return to work after having DD1 I went into a kind of mourning period. Not sure if you are feeling the same or whether I am just weird (actually I know the answer to that:D ). I did feel better once I had found a different nursery to the one we had booked in with, I had niggley doubts about the first one. As it happened for us 2 weeks before I was due to return DH got a job offer which meant moving from North Devon to Cambridgeshire. Just take care of yourself.
Right I must do something.......maybe a coffee that involves getting of the couch:p0 -
Good morning everyone,
im laughing smugly because i scrubbed the entire bathroom on monday and its still gleaming with its daily S&S, the pc area was done yesterday.
as i now have no cleaning to do i will make a start on the dreaded childrens bedrooms or i may just oversee them doing it after all they are 17, 18, and 19 years old. Or if the sun keeps out i may go and do a bit of pottering in the garden.
hope everyone has a successful flying day good luck

Morning all,
Well what a miserable rainy day, im narked already cos OH didnt put DS1's bike outside last night, but left in in the utility room, so i took it out and he said 'you dont have to cover it with the tarpaulin, it will be fine, its not gonna rain' So cos its a pain trying to get the tarpaulin around all 3 bikes and a 6 foot by 4 foot bunny hutch and run, all at the same time, i left it by the back door, and now its chucking it down!:mad:
One a brighter note, i have done most of todays flying already so only have to do the bathroom and the little extras, then i think i may just Chillax!:T
Hope everyone is ok and those feeling a little under the weather are soon back on top form!:j
Bye for now,
Feisty!
p.s fancy doing a bit of baking, will have to see what i have in my cupbpard of delights!Northern bird on the loose!

Morning everyone :wave:
I hope those that have had sun are starting to feel the benefits of it. With all the poor weather i do believe its starting to get people down. I know i have been suffering as im a bit of a sun worshiper (not for sitting out in it but i just love the heat) and i'm still in my winter clothes and i would just like to point out to someone somewhere out there who may be able to do something about it IT'S SUMMER, WHERE'S THE SUN?!?!? sorry little moment over.
Hugs to everyone :grouphug: who would like or want one and well done on the lists. I get so pleased when i cross things off as done. Its so satisfying. As im on my own its not like anyone appreciates it so the only way to get that smug feeling that its a bit cleaner is to cross it off here!
Right i really should do some work, see you all later.
Axxx

I admit it I am still sat here, not moved yet and still have my pjs on. Right I will step away from the laptop and dry those dishes (whilst making a coffee).0

Thanks for all the hugs and best wishes everyone. I do feel a little better last night, but think it might be a bit of what shell said, and a bit of trying to make the most of the days we have left.
I need to chill out a bit more, and just enjoy the last 2 and a half weeks and not wear myself out.
Again, can't really be bothered with coming up with a list, will just see how the day takes me.
I know i need to wash some bibs and a light load for charlie, and make breadbuns and potato wedges for tea.
We have sun here (i'll whisper that!) so hope the rest of you have too and are able to enjoy it.
