    Haha yes Mrs MP I did feign surprise but they all knew anyway haha.

    Had some lovely replies to my farewell email, plus a phonecall from a regional director saying they'd miss me - aww, so had a nice chat with them and wished them well.

    I called FIL this afternoon to see how he was getting on with MIL being away. He must have missed us since he turned up at school lol. So an extra one for dinner tonight. He's set off home now.

    All cleaned up after dinner, kiddies in bed - lots of giggling tonight, I think we're all in good spirits lol. I just nearly punctured a hole in the kitchen ceiling when I opened my fizz, lol.

    So that's me done for tonight, and tomorrow might be Thursday but it's also the first day of the next chapter of my life:D

    Hi all x

    I've had the migraine from hell today. I've spent most of the day lying down with my head under the covers blocking out the light. As always there wasn't a pain killer in the house cause I was needing some. OH was flung out to the chemist the minute he got in at lunchtime.
    That's me just stuck our dinner in the oven, it should be ready by the time OH gets back from picking HRH from the dancing.

    narco I agree with piggers about the injection, doc told OH he needed to have them for his shoulder, he went to see our old next door neighbour who is a physio. She sorted it in a few sessions.

    thanks. I've seen the physio 4 times so far, and she felt it wasn't improving with what she was doing and to await the scan. I've sent her an email saying what the radiographer told me, and she's replied saying that did fit the signs, and to keep her posted if a) the doc recommends the injection and b) if I decide to have it. She can't see me for 2 weeks after the injection, if I do need to see her. A bit of research coming up.

    No flying this afternoon as went to tutor's meal. Interesting to hear what everyone is planning to do now we are the victims of funding cuts.

    Hi flyfriends x


    I've washed, dried and put the throws and cushion covers back on. I've also cleared out my handbag and purse and decluttered and dusted the TV unit. Think I will eat some more painkillers and shuffle myself to bed now.

    See you all tomorrow.

    Morning all. FFP - hope your migraine is now gone.

    This morning I am going to check banking, do some things from the list and walk the dogs.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning All

    I have been wondering about trying to follow a more structured approach to housework again and used to get the flylady emails
    But i unsubscribed because the frequency of email was just too high. So a thread for motivation sounds good.

    I have two children, DS 7 and DD 7 months, and at present am remembering how much you struggle with when babies are small. I use a sling to get on with things but hoovering is a big issue as she hates the noise.

    So Im going to join in as much as I can.

    Good Morning all,

    Piggers - hope the mouth is easier today
    Bossy - happy new chapter my lovely
    FFP - Hope you feel better

    Flying visit as I need to get the small people ready for pre-school and nursery. New (to us) sofas being delivered today, yay! I have piled a load of random kipple on the stairs to take up, and the LR looks neater already.

    I need to do DS bedding, but it will need to go in the TD as it's persisting it down. Online food shop being delivered late morning, and DW is doing it's thing. Then to crack on with the lists - really really must look at the household budget and list those ruddy Vans on ebay!

    Have lovely days all xx
