    Well done for doing all the levels Frooglefraggle and welcome! I've just come back after being absent and find just a little bit every day really does make a difference.

    Mrs MP ow, that sounds painful - hope you're OK now.


    Done everything apart from the floor in the kitchen, now going to have lunch and then put the towels on the midden to dry. Got a scan at 3.20 this afternoon and is one of those where I have to drink loads of water as they want to make sure my cysts are OK and then GP at 4.30. Glad I walked earlier as raining now here in Bristol.

    Hi all. Been awol for ages but am back as house is rubbish!

    Dh finished worm early today so is grouting the new tiles in ensuite. We're on month 4 of the ensuite fitting now and I'm not expecting it to be finished any time soon. Oh well mustn't grumble.

    I've been to asda and sainsbobs this morn and put all that away.
    Sorted kids drawers or clothes which don't fit. Saved those that I can sell and flung the rest.
    Bagged all up and old toys from dd2s room and put in garage.
    Folded up paddling pool and put away.
    Sorted loads of gobble from spare room.
    Hoovered and mopped hall, down loo and kitchen diner.

    Off to collect rug rats in a bit.

    Sticks n spoons to all in need x

    Thanks all think the pain killers have helped as I certainly feel better, legs just feel incredibly heavy and a bit strange. Still find it difficult to believe it's caused by a pulled muscle.

    Been to the awards ceromony at the school I work at, it was a lovely Afternoon.

    Kaz, lucky you going to sherringham, but were going soon so I can't complain.

    Hugs to all that need/want one.

    DS2 is at Alton towers with school tomorrow so need to sort him pack up and spends out for that.

    Better go and do something.

    Mrs mp that sounds most unpleasant! Hope you're ok now, and stay ok.:o
    Welcome aboard Frooglefraggle.:beer:

    I'm deffo Flying off-piste this week; the Noyz Boyz left at midday today, and Ronnie will be arriving tomorrow afternoon, so I'm doggified nearly all week.:D

    Today I've mowed the back lawn (thankfully no silage left in the mower for me to find this time):eek: and pulled three buckets full of weeds/finished annuals out of the front - I got round my fear of the neighbours wanting to chat by doing the front while it was raining.:D Neat solution, yes?;)

    Also managed a Dys0n Tango, after which I removed the filters and washed them - they're on the kitchen windowsill drying now.

    Dins tonight is the 2nd half of the quiche I made yesterday, followed by a jelly (I get the vegetarian crystals) with strawberries in.:drool: so no slaving over a hot stove for me today.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Afternoon all! I'm definitely in this week, need to clear up the chaos after the living room being done! Glad to hear that piggers is ok, just come back whenever you feel ready hun.

    Aiming for Level 1 and a bit of Level 2 if I can. Going to be busy at work all week this week so let's see what I can do :j

    Hope the weather is staying nice for others elsewhere (it certainly isn't here!) :(

    Hiya everyone I'm back again, I hope your all well. I've been to college today, had an interview for a job in a school then came home swiped the kitchen, washed up, did 2 loads of washing. Lobbed the hoover round downstairs and swiped the bathroom over. I'm now sat down clutching a hot water bottle, having a few health probs of late and having to see specialists and have scans etc. It's been a crazy few weeks. I have loads of homework to do as I missed some of today due to going to my interview. Just hope I get offered the job eeeeek.
