MummyR big hugs, I know from my Mum's health issues how draining and worrying this time is, we are always here for you and it has helped me enormously to know you are all thinking about not only Mum but me too.

Valli DS3 has SF a few years ago, nasty bug, he was quite ill for a good while. It was his hands hurting which was the worst part.

Off to wipe the descaller off in the shower room and then to wrap a present and on to the ironing.

My mum just rang me to say she found a lump in her breast...

(((Hugs))) mummyroys. I hope it turns out to be nothing for your mum or anyone else to worry about. Don't be afraid to moan here whenever you need to. There's always somebody around, even at dead of night!

YORKSHIRELASS

Hi all, been another mad week. Really busy at work, the ds loo is leaking, the boiler has died, both kids have had this flu bug, I have had a really sore eye .. you get the picture.

With grim determination I have tried to get the basics done every day. I have spent most of today doing washing, changing beds etc. At least that is nearly all up to date.

Going to light the fire in the room. I didnt realise how cold the house could get with no central heating. We have a woodburning stove and an open fire plus a couple of fan heaters so its not too bad but you do get used to being able to flick a switch and the radiators coming on!

Coping vibes to mummyroysof3 and hugs to Yorkshire lass. Sounds like you are going through shard time.

Hubby and boys played on the play station earlier so finished the rest of the ironing! Then took boys to soft play before dropping them off a nannies for a sleepover. Just having 5 minutes of peace and quiet and then need to start the giraffe costume for Sunday. And we are off out with some friends fr dinner tonight!

Good evening everyone, I have been missing for a few weeks, as things have been very busy due to me starting my own business. The house is starting to look very neglected so I thought I was use this thread again to give me motivation.

Its funny really I have started a lifestyle management business but yet at the moment I am so unorganised and my house is a mess.

Rather than leaving it to next week to make a start I have decided to make a start this weekend. Each list has been shorted to what I will do this weekend and I have added my own jobs that need done in some areas.

Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Sweep and mop the floor
Clear and wipe table
Wipe the work tops, remove all things which don't belong here

Tuesday - Hall, Stairs, Landing and study/Family Room or similar
Clear the floors and hoover them
15 minutes tidying this area
Dust any fluffy surfaces
Clean the downstairs loo and basin
Give keyboard and mouse a good clean - photograph your keyboard on your phone, remove all the keys and wash in warm soappy water - when dry put back (glad you took that picture!)
Go on a cobweb hunt, is it dusty behind your desk
Sort out that pile of papers/magazines/catalogues and recylce what you can

Welcome back Kezlou (sorry I'm a bit late) and MMM.


Thanks Valli. Healing vibes for you.


Offload all you want MummyRoys. Pigpen's absolutely right - it's more than likely nothing to worry about, but (((hugs))) for you just the same.


We all get overwhelmed occasionally and if there's anything that got me through this week it was the really touching support I've received on here. It honestly helped me cope and I can't thank everyone enough. I forget, when I'm 'with dog' so to speak, just how big a part of my life each one is and losing her has knocked me for six. I went to the library to get things that make me laugh today, and getting out to feed the birds is doing more for me than I would have believed possible.

I don't need to fly, sadly, because there are no black dog hair dust bunnies around the place. If I hadn't spent a couple of days getting the place straight for R on Tuesday it would need work, but it just doesn't without Mrs Dog. I'd even washed all the bits of carpet that were a bit grubby in addition to the area that needed it after she puddled on the carpets last weekend. One more load of dog blankets needs to go through the WM but it's tipping down, so I can't do it. My concentration isn't up to paperwork - I called a beetroot a banana yesterday and left the keys in the front door again.

Evening all.

Welcome back MMM - possibly not the best advert for your new business, but your post did make me laugh.

HB - more hugs for you sweetie. I hope the collie rescue find you a new companion soon, as you have so much love to give.

Well everything planned today (which wasn't very much) is done and the dogs have been bathed much to their disgust. LittleyDog who is white doesn't like being clean.

Tomorrow I will have to have a re-org in the hall as we have a delivery coming on Monday which will need to live where the shoe storage currently is. This will force me to clean properly and sort out the cupboards of doom, so if you don't hear from me, that is where I will be.

Would also like to get in two dog walks, a gym session, hoover and mop through the house (I was frivolous and bought a new mop - and bucket) and possibly some ironing. And maybe some gardening, but I think I'm getting a bit too ambitious now.

Have a great evening everyone.
