    Lovely dogs Mumof2 I love whippets.
    We seem to have a few dentist visits at the moment, so all the best to anyone going there. Personally I'd rather see a dentist 10 times than a doctor once.

    Had high expectations today and [STRIKE]failed [/STRIKE]miserably, I know I can't use that word. Despite returning to my mindfulness course first thing, I have not managed to settle to work. I've got 1 report finished and another started, but should have finished at least 2.
    No flying apart from very minor putting a few things away and hanging washing.
    Aghast at how many calories MFP seems to think I have eaten; I must be recording something wrong. As a treat, because it is so expensive, I bought a loaf of gf bread as a change from rice cakes. Huh, it is twice the calories and the slices are miniscule. I can't go to gym classes every day! Well I could if I knew I would settle down and work faster at report writing.

    Sorry others have far more to worry about than me, I'm just a bit exasperated with myself.

    Hope all went well for CY today. Apparently my great-nephew's op which was postponed is now scheduled for Friday.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Morning all. Glad the party went well Bossy and glad your migraine is gone LW. Hope all goes well today for CY and for the young man having his op tomorrow.

    I cleaned the downstairs windows yesterday, so plan to do upstairs before the paid stuff today.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Good Morning, didn't post last night as I went to go bed at 8.30 - I was falling asleep on the sofa. I've spoken this morning with an upset tummy and gut so I am hoping it is not the stomach bug that's doing the rounds at the moment.
    Yesterday I managed to strip each and make up the bed linen in my room, quick tidy up but no vacuuming. I had a girl scouts meeting in the afternoon so that was half A day gone doing that. Lots of fun though.
    Right, let's hope my stomach doesn't get any worse - I've skipped breakfast, put on a load of washing and am ready to start the day.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Narco dont be too hard on yourself. This is one of my traits, comes with the anxiety I think, hope today is a better day for you.

    And MMM when I got my current job I was amazed because I didnt think I had done very well. And it probably doesnt sound helpful right now but its great that you did it and great experience for the next job if this one doesnt work out. Fingers crossed.

    Must shift myself, kick DS2 out of bed and get ready for paid stuff. Back later x
