YORKSHIRELASS

Hi all

Not achieved much today, other than paid stuff, just soo tired. Its pathetic but I struggled to get down the fields with the dog and back. I know this flu bug is nasty but I hope I start feeling more lively soon.

DS1 is driving me up the wall. Sigh.

Oh and hello Mav. We all have lots of things going on but the support around here is brilliant. Baby steps is the key.

Hello to all the newbies :wave:

Free lego on Saturday for a week or so with the daily mail.....

I wouldn't marry my postie, as she is female.................however the hol relief one is male and OK!!

Ooh thanks kazw I will look out for that for DS. It's a nuisance getting to the shops every day though - I guess we could post off for them.

Just done a couple more hours paid stuff. Switched off for the week now, though. Phew.

I've cleared a path to the boiler cupboard for the meter man - who called to say I'm his first appointment and is 8am ok. Fab, DS is going to school with his pal and it means DD and I are not set to wait in all day :T

Need to buy picnic stuff for the weekend.

Only flying done is keeping on top of the kitchen after dinner and 1 x WM today. I've not really had any free time. But I will do some tomorrow I promise!

I deffo wouldn't marry my postie - he can't read, judging from the amount of incorrectly delivered mail we get around here.:eek:
When I divorced my own wretched KH, I was going to change my name by deed poll - there was no way I was going back to my maiden name - but as Mr LW were getting married three months later anyway, it wasn't worth the bother. Had I actually gone the deed poll route, I'd have had LameWolf as my last name! Honestly.:o

I need to make the lemming cake I deferred from yesterday (thanks again for the recipe Valli); I shall also make an apple crumble, as I can cook them both together.;)

I wondered if it was mine!
I am not posting because I am not flying other than running machinery in the form of DW and am
Thanks for lists
Looking forward to virtual wedding when I wiill, of course, be dressed in drop dead gorgeous designer gear dripping with diamonds and sipping vintage champers

Meanwhile in the real world my name is Valli and I live in a pit...

Ty for lists will clean someday I promise...

Hi all
I would like to join please as have just finished de-cluttering my house using the Marie Kondo method. But now it looks a bit grubby for want of a better word.... I think I will try and deep clean one room at a time and also try to keep up (ish) with the weekly lists.
Mav x

Welcome to the thread. I agree with the others on this - it sounds like a bit too much and better to try the lists for a week or two and then see how it goes. Good luck and let us know how you are getting on.

Good morning all. Can I sneak back in please? I posted a while ago but my dh was made redundant, went self employed, and didn't do anything. I go so so down and seemed to give up on everything. We only claimed our tax credits as I thought it would pick up so money has been a major problem. I will admit I snapped, told him I was leaving and he seems to have realised he can't just wait for people to find him.

Suddenly his work seems to be very slowly picking up (a whole year and still only 82 likes on Facebook and his posts are reaching less people now, I have no Idea with computers to even help him). But Tuesday he got a phone call for a job he had applied for in august. It's only 2 hours a day,20 mins away, delivering school meals but it's something. I am going to use this time to blitz the house and get back to some kind of normality. I started with the bathroom yesterday and it looks so much better already. Dh has just got up so I'm going to strip our bed and get that washed. I still have 3 loads of washing to dry from the 6 I did yesterday.

sorry for waffling on but I thought a bit of background might help to give the picture of the state I've got into and it's going to take some digging out (literally! )

YORKSHIRELASS

Morning everyone, just checking in quickly - need to make myself presentable for work.

Glad DH has found some work Charlieyates. My OH is self employed and if he is ever at home I find it impossible to get anything done!

Tired still but I should get some time to catch up on some flying after work. Our bedroom seems really messy!

Have a good Thursday everyone x
