    Haven't done a lot today as I have been feeling very muzzy headed - possibly the start of a migraine? I hope not!

    We managed to get to SW this morning, where I decluttered 2 lb, but otherwise I have spent most of the day napping on the sofa. Tomorrow I must do some studying and get to my evening course, so I shall have an early night tonight. DH isn't home from model railway club yet.

    See you in the morning x

    ETA: DH has just come in.

    So sorry you're having a rough time of it MMM; sometimes it goes like that and it's just all rubbish on top of rubbish. Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you x

    Ionafan hope you feel better tomorrow after a good night's sleep.

    Biscuit monster yes, I hope things keep improving too. Not feeling as anxious about Friday now - things couldn't have continued as they were and I think by me being strong, not letting my MH rear its ugly head and sticking to my guns J may be realising I'm serious about this. Hope so.


    Just having my hot milk before I go to bed. Been a good day today. J has just left for Basingstoke in the new car which means I don't have to drive around in the big van any more and can use the Focus once again. Busy day tomorrow but will do what I can from the list - goodness knows the kids bathroom needs attention!

    Well I had the mother of all cleanouts of the fridge; took everything out - every shelf, container etc. Ditto a load of tupperware containers we use for cereal etc.

    Am just packing up paperwork I need for tomorrow, just an afternoon assessment. Debating whether to go to gym on the way or to have a morning doing my tax return which I really ought to get shot of.

    Mr N seems to have adopted my new padded, fur lined 'gardening shirt'. He wore it all evening although we had the heating on. Just can't stay warm poor thing, I wish he would put weight on. Unlike me.

    I keep having to pick up and refill my biggest bird feeder as a pheasant insists on jumping up and knocking it down then scoffing the lot.

    I need to read the meters tomorrow.
    Decluttered a load more old emails, making progress but they seem to come in as fast as I delete them.

    To those who enquired, I have been in touch with Dusty by text. She is having a bit of a stressful, busy time at present so hugs to her.

    Oh yes, hugs to dusty and anyone else feeling the pressure, especially minniemousesmummy and mumof2 xx

    Things seem to be moving along for you, dizzy, that's good to hear.

    Had a rather busy day today with paid stuff then a small break for a jacket spud before heading off to college. Granny and gramps babysat so my kitchen is clean and tidy :A

    Quite tired from it all now, but it was very enjoyable- learning has begun! I've made notes for my journal while its fresh in my mind which has helped me wind down for bed a bit too...

    Need to root around my stationary supplies ahead of next session so will do that on Thursday.

    Ordered some cake bits for DS, I can't be making race cars so got some on the bay of e plus ordered him a footy training kit from sp0rts direct as a birthday pressie. He's no idea what he wants...

    DD has also "ordered" her birthday cake (an Elsa one) - it's her birthday in September:rotfl:

    Hugs sticks & spoons to all!!!

    Not much at all has been done for the rest of the day here except massive progress with my work accounts. I'm up to just before Christmas which means my biggest/most complicated invoices that I need to go through so I've decided to leave it for tonight. I'm actually ahead of myself for a change so when the "you need to do your tax return" letter comes through in April I'll be able to do it, and update tax credits almost immediately if I can keep my accounts properly up to date instead of just on paper ;) Either way, no mad rush this year to try and get a years worth all done before the July deadline :D

    DD walked in just after 7pm, hung her coat up went up stairs to unpack her school bag as her uniform was in it, then disappeared until 9.30 while she had a shower and got herself sorted for tomorrow. Then she was in bed by 9.45. In some ways I love the extended work time I have on a Tuesday, but having only seen DD for maybe an hour today in total its not so nice. I'm also glad its not every night!

    I'm off to bed, I'll grab/update lists tomorrow when I'm not nearly swallowing myself yawning. :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    I've just had breakfast, will wash the dishes, get dressed then have a tidy and clean in the gym before walking the dogs and tackling today's list.
