    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.

    Woke at 4:57, hips were going mad so been up since about 5:30

    Hope you get some rest later.

    Ionafan hope your DS gets better soon. From somebody who used to get chronic tonshellitis it is vile.

    Morning all.

    Hugs, sticks, spoons, vibes, as needed to all.

    Going to fly today as not got round to it all week. Hopefully if the place gets cleaned today, come Friday when DD is off she can help me give it a quick clean and it'll be sorted for Easter weekend off since I'm working Easter Monday.

    So far we've had breakfast, groomed Zack again, put a wash load on of the throws from the sofas again, and I've put a loaf in the breadmaker. I need to go to Mr Al today. Just debating whether to do a bare minimum shop or get a couple of things we're low on as well.

  • I have not done very well with flying this week, as I have gotten side tracked with uni work. I have made good progress with my uni work therefore I will be back later to join in with the list for next week. I've not even had time to keep up with the thread, therefore thoughts and hugs to anyone who needs/want them x

    Impressed by those who are up and about so early; all I've done so far today is walk to church and back.
    Not very good on a Sunday, but I do still have lots of paperwork to do. MIL to dinner again, but have some left over from yesterday so no trouble. She seems very happy and looking forward to her impending flat move, which is a great relief.

    Oh dear, I seem to only be getting on here about twice a week.:doh:

    (((HUGS))) and posivibes to all who need them. Not going to do a list of people, as I'm bound to forget to name someone, andit's always upsetting when that happens. Have a dodgy :grouphug: to be going on with.;)

    CY
    Tuesday will soon be here, sweetie, hope the chemo helps you feel better than you've been of late.

    Got my new toy (steam cleaner) out yesterday and had a grand time blitzing the bathroom - it does marvels on the bath-lift! :T

    Unfortunately the lupus is having a good chomp on the connective tissue in my arms at present, so I'm glugging Oramorph like it was going out of fashion to keep the pain at least bearable - not to worry, this, too, shall pass.

    I've done the dogs' postcard today, as they're being collected to go home early tomorrow morning. We've decided to leave Dys0ning til they've gone, then Mr LW will move the sofa and the big green chair so that i can do under/behind them.

    I have bedlinen out on the whirligig at present; hoping once that's dry that Mr LW will consider going out and mowing the back lawn. I can't manage it myself at the moment, and it's getting so long that it's getting difficult to poo-pick the garden._pale_

    Anyways, enough from me for now; time to take Rosie and Lucy for a walk, methinks.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    3 loads on line, bunny cleaned out, hutch airing he is in the pen. Car washed and half an hour in the garden then went to dun3lm for seat pads. They only had1 in the colour/design I wanted but I bought it to see if it was right. It is so I need to get 3 more when they come in.
    The to morries for shopping. We are having us roast pork, from freezer and a bread and butter pudding made from a hot cross bun loaf I got for 15p and froze.
    I have discovered DS took the bath sheet the bunny used to play on and chew back to uni with home, it is full of holes :rotfl:

    Afternoon all. How long will it take him to work that out Valli?

    :wave: LW Hope you and Mr LW get some time to catch up when the furries are gone :love: (ask Hester if you need hints:D)

    MinnieMousesMummy Not uni work, but I ssem to have been catching up on everything that wasn't done while I was ill. So flying, but off list all week. Yesterday was lost to rugby.

    Sheets and towels about to be hung up. Then Ozzie needs a walk.

    It's been glorious today. DH and I went for a run first thing. It was still misty and we met a surprised looking shaggy cow at one point. Only 4miles, and it hurt my chest far too much. I've now got only 4 weeks until my 10k race!

    Quick dog walk then off to Helensburgh for my niece's christening. A lovely, and very long service. Both she and her elder sister were angels. The baby at one point tried to go swimming in the font - in her 100yr old dress. She was a hit. Her elder sister was as quiet as a mouse - with a small toy, a packet of stickers, and only one episode of bribery by chocolate:rotfl:

    OK. Off to play catch up. Have a wonderful evening everyone and see you on next weeks list hopefully.
