    I just wish everyone would stop dying already!!! .. Seriously, I know the world is a $h!tty place to be but this is extreme now.. I know so many people who have lost children and babies the last few weeks too.. it is all just far too sad... I've had myself a totally off my head hormonal blubber this evening..

    Pixie has mashed Dot on the head with a resin bookend.. so she's been at A&E having the shattered bits picked out and it glued back together.. Pixie said it was Squeaks fault and Squeak is most upset because she thinks she should have stopped her... I swear everyone is mental in here lol..

    Anyway.. bed time once Dot gets home and cuppa time.. then I'll think about a list!

    CY - hope it goes well tomorrow and they can get you the meds you need.
    Pigpen - I hope Dots okay and it heels quickly.

    To those I haven't mentioned sorry, but hugs, sticks and vibes as you want/need. Brain hasn't retained much of what I've read.

    I think we need to rewind the year and start over with some better karma in play! Too many people being taken way too young.

    I got in from work tonight at 9.55!!! I didn't get my books done as today has disappeared, and DD walking in from school at gone 6pm as the lesson "over ran" didn't help as I didn't realise how late it was!! On the plus side, one customer (who had a big & heavy order) has re-arranged for Tuesday, another gave me a miniature whisky as she doesn't like it, and DD tackled the ironing while I was out. Okay so she's only cleared her uniform and some t-shirts plus made sure she had stuff to wear on Saturday but its added up to about 1/4 of the pile which is progress.

    Tomorrow I need to sort the books, run to the bank and pet shop (I hope they have Zacks food in stock or I'll have to go to another branch!) and then I have a delivery to make in the evening which is about half an hours walk away...or I can jump a bus or two ;) If I don't get to the bank I'll NEED to go Saturday.

    I've just taken my 6/21 dose of meds so I'm off to bed. Lots of brain based work tomorrow so I need the sleep. :wave:

    Calming vibes to pigpen and all the household; hope you got a decent night's sleep and Dot is OK this morning.
    Hope you feel better soon, CY.

    After a good but non-stop-busy day on Wednesday, I went down with another migraine yesterday and slept all afternoon. I did manage to unpack the new filing cabinet and transfer papers from the old one, which DH :A kindly disposed of, but the study-bedroom is still a tip and I need to do a bit more sorting now. I've slept all through the night but have still got the grumbling migraine so I will probably have a sleep before lunch. I have arranged to go out with a friend for a cuppa at a garden centre this afternoon, and I don't want to let her down. Otherwise my list for today looks much like yesterday's.

    Will catch up when I can. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round x

    Hi all

    Big hugs to those who have problems with teeth (or recovering from head bashing, poor Dot!)

    Hope today goes well CY.

    I really really CBA this morning. Can I go back to bed? The answer is no of course, I have to work at both jobs today.

    Welcome newbies. Decluttering is the way to go. I rant on about it but I discovered Kon-Mari last year and it has changed my life.

    Got to run, need to get ready for the paid stuff!

    Did loads yesterday but not much of it was for me so need to crack on tonight.
    Didn't really get mils cleaning done but got some CS stuff sorted out for her and got prescription review done and appt made, they've lost the letter she gave to give Drs and me permission to talk to each other about her so I need another one of those for her file.
    Did loads of shredding and junk paper clearance - but have loads more to do.
    Washing is all bought in but will need sorting later.
    Friends birthday today so need to nip and get her some flowers and a card for ds2 to drop in on his way past, I'll see her with proper pressie tomorrow.

    Better get on. Have a good day all and catch up later.

    Morning all. I've only read back this page, so hope CY's appt goes ok today and Dot is ok. Hugs and sppons where needed.

    I didn't do any flying yesterday as I had a really early start at the paid stuff. So far today, I have done the dailies and the ironing.

    More workmen in today but DH is around to sort that out while I do the paid stuff.

    I've half an hour now before I start that so I'll take a quick look at the list.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
