  • Morning

    LW hope you have come to a decision. You can probably cope with more pain that the rest of us but I would still have the most painful one done.

    Sorry about the job CP, hope something comes up soon.

    And Frizzle get your feet up a bit and get some time for yourself before baby arrives!

    Fretting a bit about something at work. I made a mistake, not a huge one, but I still think that there may be repercussions. Then again, you know me, I am a worrier.

    DH and DS1 came in from footie last night, threw all their wet clothes in a pile and went and sat down. Despite the fact that I had been running DS2 about and the kitchen was a mess. Still annoyed.

    Right, best get on with it! Have a good Thursday everyone x

    Oh and its raining again here but at least its not snow!

    Jazee so sorry to hear your news

    I also need to sign my tax return and give it to the accountants on the way back from Agility
    Vacuum the lounge (looks v messy for some reason - probably because S had to cut out stuff for his homework last night!)
    Do more decluttering (over 100 things so far)

    Morning all

    Lynn - I use h0tmail (and have done since 1998!) and I've not liked the set up for a while. It keeps lagging and then I end up deleting emails I want to keep or filing them in the wrong folders. Its drives me mad. I can't see any changes on my account yet....

    Jazee
    - Huge hugs. Sorry for your loss.

    Its paid stuff mainly today. I am not liking the weather forecast either since I'm outside but hey ho. I'll just make sure I wrap up the best I can. I think I'm going to wear my walking boots today (they're warmer and water proof unlike my trainers) so I'll have to take the vaccum upstairs to clean them as they've been sat in the corner of my bedroom for a while and I noticed a spiders web in the neck of them :eek: So while the vacuum is upstairs I might as well take the polish/duster up as well and get both bedrooms done today.

    I also need to jump in the shower and make sure I have a hot drink before I go out. Lots of stopping & starting means I won't warm up for a while.

    Personal:
    Book Dentist appointment Decided to go in half term instead of inset day

    Jazee.. such sad news :(

    My son is 20 tomorrow!!!! How the heck did that happen??? He is still very much about 12!!

    Raining here again today.. I think we have had 2 dry days in the last 2 months!!! I want to get my washing out!!


    Super-tired today and getting up very nearly didn't happen.. it's just so dark in a morning my head thinks it is night time and stays asleep.. through the alarms!

    The cat and I have sneezes!!

    I need to switch my knitting onto my non-metal needles.. I have been knitting for weeks with my wooden and plastic circulars and not had a single problem.. 2 days with metal ones and my hand are killing me.. I'll be shifting the metal ones on and replacing with more wooden ones I think!


    I need an energy infusion this week, I'm really tired!

    Not just me then!

    No snow so far. Last night I summoned up sufficient energy to do some clearing into DS's room so in-use rooms looking better. Perfection still needed though

    So sorry to hear your sad news Jazee. Life is so unfair sometimes :( Thinking of you and your family x

    Snow a bit further up the road from us, but we are currently bathed in sunshine. It's blooming freezing, but lovely and bright outside. Annoyingly, my windscreen cracked overnight - I think that might be due to the sudden drop in temperature, so have got to find £50 excess when Autoglass come out on Tuesday to replace it...boo...

    I've done a little bit of flying - changed my bed and put the WM on. Just gonna put the new kettle on (old one died yesterday), make the builders a cuppa then trundle off to the tip with a mountain of rubbish.

    Keep warm lovelies!
