  • Morning everyone - just caught up. So hugs sticks and spoons to anyone needing them.


    Feeling a little concerned today as couldn't talk to DS yesterday as he'd gone to bed with "stiff neck and feeling unwell". Tried to diagnose by text and waiting to hear if he's in work today. Pse keep fingers crossed as no-one near him has a key in case of emergency. We're 250 miles away. Don't know what's up with 'puter. Got to go to vol job this am so hope less windy than yesterday as 4 huge bags of donations from a neighbour to take in.


    Have a good day everyone and Lynne - it's Thursday today!! - but I only know that because it's my charity shop day - otherwise every day is the same!! LOL!

    Morning all.


    Ds seems to be back in some sort of fashion with the ex-girlfriend. This is doing all our heads in atm.


    We go to my sister's 50th in Didcot on Saturday. DD2 has a sore throat this morning. I shall watch her like a hawk tonight - last time she nearly ended up in hospital with an abcess....


    DD2's fianc! has spent the week job hunting. bless him he is remaining positive. The lady at the agency has retweaked his CV, given him a load of background information and put him through a mock interview in preparation for tomorrow. Fingers crossed!


    This term I have bitten off more than I can chew and am doing 2 Lifelong Learning courses. I am already behind with the reading for one. Last night the tutor pointed out that the last night of one course clashes with an event at the York Literature festival. Said if we were all willing we could go to the event as a group and he would get us free tickets. And then we could have a final session at the pub.... sounds good to me!


    Washing just going on, then washing up and a major sort of clean laundry is required. Will try to catch up with you lovely ladies later..

    Lol.. I *might* see the clowns at the surgery in another 3 months.. if I was pg I'd be the size of a small planet and have my own atmosphere and crutches by now.. it's not that. I'm more concerned by the smear that was done 2 weeks ago, I just *know* its going to come back with errors.

    I do actually think I'm just old and the little one is feeding too much again and added to being stressed out of my head = AWOL Aunt

    If I ever feel the need to suggest you might be pregnant Pigpen, I'll make it very clear. Sorry.

    Just having breakfast. Got the family to strip their beds before they left this morning so they are all in the wash now. Load no.1 twirling in the machine. I don't think my ironing basket will be empty for long!
    Hoping my fitbit will arrive today. Measured yesterday and appear to have lost 1cm from thighs. The rest is the same size but I can see a change in shape. It's improving after my awful day Monday! I think it must have been night shift bloating which never used to be that bad but I uppose when your trousers are on the edge anyway, any bloat is extremely noticeable!

  • Morning all.

    We're covered in a thick blanket of snow here. It was a riot with cars this morning skidding everywhere....not good!

    All my good intentions for last night disappeared. Ended up going home at 5pm last night and every footstep made my brain rattle harder inside my head. I slept from 8pm to 7.30am! Turns out I have caught a cold. Drat. :( Luckily Mr. AMS kept on top of the everyday chores last night, bless him. :)

    Hope everyone has a lovely productive day, and if you have as much snow as us, stay safe! xx

    Morning ladies.
    So far I have made a bolognaise in the slowcooker and unloaded/ reloaded dw and helped ds1 finish his hw which was due in today.
    We are not normally this unorganised but he only got in on Monday and Monday and Tuesday I don't arrive home in time to do anything with him. We did most of it yesterday but he also had his swimming lesson. So just had to do the last page and colour it in! All done and handed in! Phew! Hopefully next time the teacher will remember to give it out on the Friday so we can do it over the weekend!

    I did the kitchen yesterday but looking at it now,nit all needs doing again, including the floor. Grrr! The ketchup exploded on hubby yesterday and he has just Jeff it on the floor. How hard is it to wipe it up when you did it?? No. It's alright the fairies will do it!!

    Here is my list for today

    Shopping
    Run a few errands
    See mum and dad

    Monday Rooms of Doom and Bathrooms
    Clean sink and toilet, wipe the dust that settles on the back of the toilet pipes
    Clear and wipe one surface in the RofD (or bathroom)
    Empty the bins
    Deal with a frog - you will feel so much better afterwards
    Descale the toilet and taps sorry for sounding thick but I don't know what this means 😔
    Hoover and wash the floors
    Wipe the bath panel
    Find a home for a homeless item

    Wednesday - Living Room, hall and stairs
    Clear the hallway
    Hoover and mop hallway
    Hoover/wipe sofas, go on a treasure hunt under the cushions
    Hoover floors including the stairs
    Declutter anything that doesn't belong in this room
    Dust the mantle and TVs
    Eat a frog


    That should keep me going!
