Deleted as done or carried over
Woo, I'm shattered! Woke at 2:30 so was up until 5am. Then went back to bed but just lay there. Must have nodded off about 6am and then overslept through alarm at 6:30. Oh well, got up and wrapped vinegar soaked loo roll around the taps to descale them in the wee small hours. Will see how that helps.
I have a date with about a ton and a half of ironing today so really ought to get cracking with it too!
ETA: Posi vibe being sent to Baby Anna, DustyMum and Yorkshirelasslassfella
Almost finished my beverage so will be starting the ironing at 10am.

Morning lovelies :hello:
Fell off the wagon last week due to catching DD3's sickness bug :eek: Thankfully though, the house didn't suffer too much. I'm feeling wiped out this morning as I was wide awake in the middle of the night last night. Although I did clean the kitchen at 3am!
Special :wave: for Dusty, Lil-Me, Mrs B, Piggers, Valli, Serena, Natty, & Kaz W
Good luck & get well soon vibes for those that need them. xx

On the 29th December, I was 10st 7
That was where I started my weight loss regime, and it was the heaviest I've ever been. I'm with you but without the f!tb!t.Dustykitten wrote: »Mum's rescheduled op is tomorrow so anybody who can cross their fingers would be most appreciated.
Thinking of you and your mother today and sending posivibes.Blergh, had a migraine all day today
A friend in Germany emailed this morning and told me that his wife gave birth to their first, long-awaited baby yesterday, more than 3 months prematurely. Posivibes and prayers for little Anna and all the family would be greatly appreciated.
Healing vibes for your migraine and lustylife strengthening vibes for Anna.
I took a carrier bag out to collect some rubbish along a fence at the bottom of a slope on the Hoe yesterday and finally, after seeing it for at least six months, picked up the wretched hubcap that kicked off this personal anti-litter campaign - doing that fence has made such a difference! I've only just heard about Kirsty Allsop's tweet of a litter-!!!!!!'s number plate and although I'm not usually a fan, I'm thrilled with her! I take my hat off to her because the trolls will be after her now.
I'm struggling to get enthusiastic about actually doing anything extra at the moment, so I've made myself a list of three small household/flying things to tackle every day so that I can stop feeling guilty about not doing enough. It seems to have broken the stagnation.Better is good enough.0 -
Dishwasher unloaded & reloaded. Filters done and salt topped up.
Washing sorted into loads
WM x 1
TD x 1
Hair dye on.
Floordrobe sorted out.
I'm going to get dinner sorted for later, then I can rest after lunch.MMSSB Club Founder Member

I've finished the ironing. The basket is empty
. OR, it was until I saw the sheet and duvet cover I had put to one side so I could do it later when everyone's home as I struggle to fold it
. Ach well, later for that.
Just had some lunch as I was hank marvin. Well, I say lunch. A piece of cheese and 2 tomatoes. Am trying to low carb (less than 20g per day for 2 weeks :eek:) as well as 5:2 and a limited calorie diet. Let's see how I fare eh! Aiming for 2lb/week.
I fancy a kip but, looking at this list, I don't really have time, do I?!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -

Dusty - thinking of you and your mum today :hug: really hope all goes well.
Also thinking of baby Anna - I hope she stays strong and thrives, its a difficult time for friends and family to watch such a fraught situation xxx
had a day off yesterdaypopped to the allotment with my flask of coffee and sandwiches and had lunch with dd2 and my friend while we planned what to grow
dd2 got very cold though
and had a bit of a grotty afternoon, a big sleep and wasn't very well all evening and night - talked complete gibberish in her sleep so was probably a bit feverish. After paracetamol this morning though she did seem much perkier, ate well and as I have a day off today for working the weekend I sent her off the the childminder and told her to call me if she thought dd2 wasn't enjoying herself - no call yet so all obviously fine;)
I have BLITZED the bathroom cupboards - I didn't think there was much to get rid of, but 1 bin bag later I have proved myself wrong:rotfl:. I've also pretty much finished decluttering my wardrobe - another half bin-bag for charity and rags :eek::eek::eek: That took surprisingly long so was shocked to find its lunchtime - just frying some chicken bits for a slow cooker curry while I eat my sarnie.
Going to try to load the buggy up with these bin bags in a bit and get them down the high st, then to lidl for a big bag of spuds and carrots, asd@ for some coriander then to school for kids. Will try to fit in the PO to send off some decluttered bras to charity too
5 kids after school today - pasta and tomato sauce I think and might treat them to an angel delight pud0
