    Afternoon all

    CY biggest hugs and wishing you good days to enjoy

    Been to Mr L and mr M
    Been to a governing meeting - going to type up the notes now rather than create a frog and then start the hoovering and dusting upstairs.

    We are going wedding dress shopping on Saturday morning.

    I am beyond excited.
    How lovely! But be warned - it is very tiring for everyone except the bride. I went with my goddaughter a few months back - together with her mother and 2 bridesmaids. She bought a lovely dress (about the 15th that she'd tried on), got it home, decided that she didn't like it after all, and went out to buy another one. On that occasion she took her OH with her and will definitely be wearing the dress they bought togethr because he approves of it!

    I still haven't finished icing the wedding cake: came home from my NT volunteers' meeting and was absolutely frozen through, so I quickly heated and ate some soup, drank coffee and snuggled up on the sofa under my fleecy rug. That was 3 hours ago. DH has been out to the U3A monthly meeting and paid our subs :T

    I have scrubbed jacket potatoes for tea.
    Now I must finish getting my materials ready for this evening.

    List update is minimal:
    [STRIKE]- Check fire alarms are working[/STRIKE]
    - Sort 10 things from your wardrobe (or someone elses) that you can get rid of
    - Clear a hotspot - still need to clear the spare bed, but most of that will be sorted as I...
    - ...Finish preparing for tonight's course
    [STRIKE]- Pre-season meeting 10.00-1.00 at my NT property[/STRIKE]
    - Ice base board for wedding cake
    - Transcribing
    - Nag DH to phone his sister [STRIKE]and a couple of other people[/STRIKE]
    - Out to run my course this evening

    At least I shall be home tomorrow morning, all day Saturday and most of Sunday :o

    Exciting CY.

    I have hoovered upstairs and recycled a few bits of paper. Cooked dinner for DS3 as he was hungry after school. Going to cook dinner for me and DS2 now. Report not written, it is already frogspawn.

    Sorry to post my list again but I'm getting myself confused with what I still need to do! :o

    DD is upstairs vacuuming and I'm about to dust the livingroom. I think there's only the kitchen left then. Can't do any mopping until I tweak the mop heads. They're microfibre ones which are supposed to just velcro on the flat mop but they keep coming off. Going to get my sewing kit stash out and see what I can come up with to make them stay on ;)

    Personal:
    Demould hall (incl front door), livingroom, kitchen :(
    Iron blinds
    Chase DD to clean her shoes with polish not just quickshine

    GP visit decluttered. Got my meds renewed for another 6 months worth of repeats, and she's given me the name of an online resource - apparently it's CBT based stuff, but without the need to actually deal with a counsellor. (Thought Police, anyone??) She can't increase me anti-d's as I'm on the highest dose already, and it still doesn't stop the suicidal thoughts.:(

    Mr LW has bought new shoes and new boots, so £££ decluttered.:eek:

    Zero Flying done.:cool:

    Hugs LW, I need you in my life, mental anguish is such a dreadful ting. I'm reading the chimp paradox atm. Maybe watch some of dr steve peters youtube clips to see if it might help you.

    Time to tidy up from dinner.

    CY- very exciting! I hope you enjoy it.
    Pigpen- are you feeling better now?

    Well today I have tackled kitchen, dining room and family room. So downstairs looks beautiful. I am sure it will all look a mess again tomorrow!!!
    I've also done three loads of washing, even getting a load of towels almost dry on the line! Will tackle bathrooms tomorrow. They desperately need doing!!!
