    YL - that sounds very much like DS when DD1 was in the early throes of her ME. Could school provide him with counselling? Is there a teacher he could talk to?

    Mmm, I just dont know. DS has always said there is no need to talk to anyone, he was 8 when DS1 was diagnosed and he says he doesnt know any different. He is adamant that there is nothing wrong. I suppose I just need to keep a close eye on him.

    Need to go and do a taxi run. Not doing any of the household jobs that I was going to do today but its been quite restful.

    Hi everyone,
    Been off radar yesterday, as had book club.
    Went shopping for Easter eggs and birthday pressies this morning.
    Sorted washing
    Tumbled a couple of loads
    Bagged up 10 bags of books OH put aside for goodwill.
    Went to in-laws to view their !!!!-up of a bathroom.

    Tomorrow I hope we can get out in the garden and at least cut the lawn.
    Need to inject some colour into the garden but I don't want lots of plants that put on on a good show and then die after 6 weeks and need to be dug up.

    Sounds like quite a few of you are having a rough time of it at the moment, thinking of you. x

    Hi guys, I love how this flylady is only mon-fri, I actually feel like I get a day off on sundays now :) Have hoovered living room, swept & mopped kitchen floor and the dailies, that's about it for today. I've still got some de-cluttering to do, may have a go tomorrow, have a good evening all.

    Painting

    Although I didn't finish everything I did do other stuff that got in the way. Went to collect my car from garage, then went to see my friend whose mum died yesterday. :( Walked the dog with the girls, which took nearly three hours as we had printed a spring scavenger hunt off the tinternet.
    Have also been following OH round cleaning up after his plumbing etc. piggers no need to be jealous re downstairs bathroom - we are making our house an upside down house, bedrooms and family bathroom downstairs. When the downstairs is finished we will be knocking out the upstairs bathroom to make the kitchen bigger, Back to one bathroom.
    OH has also plumbed in three of the radiators downstairs, so we now have heat down there, another step forward :)

    CY good to hear from you, hope the chemo goes well next week x

    Hugs to dancemum , what a terrible thing to happen x

    Morning,
    Sorry I haven't posted as much as I should, we all have this blasted cold and flu virus that seems to be doing the rounds, and I feel completely wiped out, so no flying done. I made soup and bread yesterday, but need to do some washing and bits today. Think I'll spend most of it snuggled on the sofa under a blanket with littlies. Need to get a fire going.
    I'm sorry so many of you are having tough times. YL, CY, Bossy, Dancemum, have the biggest of hugs, go easy on yourselves xxx

    Morning all

    I'm frog eating already, my mother's tax and paperwork, frustratingly don't have all the figures to finish it today.

    Flying will be laundry and a quick hoover and mop downstairs.

    DR - sort out a basket of stuff with DS3
    Hem DS1's trousers for him

    Also going to walk to the library to pick up a book later if the weather stays dry.

    Mrs MP - great decluttering
    Buscuit - sorry to hear about your Mum

    Have a good day all

    Hi all (waves at Dusty and Missywho have also been up and about early this morning). Had an awful night sleep and got up at half six. Now I could go back to sleep. Might snooze on the sofa. Actually feel a bit bleugh, no idea why.

    Must try and hoover today, didnt do it yesterday. DS2 to collect from his friends at some point and he has footie this aft. DS1 was making plans to go and see friends so it sounds like a lot of running around after them. At least the sun is shining!

    Morning all.

    We were both out for most of yesterday so the house didn't got dirty or untidy and I can leave the flying for another day. (How many [STRIKE]days[/STRIKE] weeks is it now? :rotfl:) I have been keeping up with the washing, and I've stripped our bed this morning.

    Today I must put together a slide show about Cappadocia for the Old Wives' meeting tomorrow. I also have three church services to attend, all in different places.

    DS2 has a really nasty bout of tonsillitis and was struggling to keep up with the two little boys yesterday, so I stayed all day. DGS3+4 were very good with me and ate all the food I put in front of them! DDiL2 returned from her conference yesterday evening and is taking the boys to her parents today, so that DS2 can rest, but he's had to cancel things he was supposed to be doing today and toorrow. I have told him to go to the GP tomorrow - hopefully he will be able to get an appointment.

    See you later on the new thread. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round x
