    Morning all,
    Finally got some sunshine here today, off out for a picnic to celebrate a friends 40th later, so will hopefully get out in the garden later.
    Went to counselling yesterday am, which kept me feeling out of sorts, so flew round the house and got most of it clean and tidy.
    Off to consider having some breakfast before packing up food for lunch.

    Morning all :)

    Feel up and raring to go today. DDs bedding is already in the WM, and DW is doing its thing. It's lovely and sunny too.

    No real plans for today but I may clean DD bedroom if I can be bothered. Have fab days x

    Welcome Chocolatebum

    Ooh you're all ticking off such huge lists; I'm way behind.
    Had a scrabble round "public areas" last night and this am as I had an assessment to do at home.
    .

    I had to read that twice:o

    Sorting work stuff out was the order of yesterday, including my third trip in to do stuff.
    Then went to town with DD to buy balloons and gift for mama. Balloons do NOT have the number on. I can't give her what she wants anyway...she doesn't really want to celebrate it.:o but have discount card for jewellers and necklace cane up on till as less than labelled so we were pleased.

    Holiday mega list almost all crossed off WOOT

    Hope DS2 has a good day, Dancemum

    Morning! ;):p

    Ok so half the day is gone and I've only hung the washing out and fed some children. Oh, DS has had his hair cut. And DD has been dancing.

    Conservatory has wooden rail track all over it. Trying to take photos but they keep building stuff with it :rotfl:

    Also going to photograph 2 bikes to sell, as the one DS wants is back in stock :eek: so I've said we will buy it but he needs to contribute to the £££ if he wants an expensive one. We might be able to collect it today, if there is anyone to build it for us!

    Still waiting to see if he's playing in the quarter final tomorrow - and when, as DD is dancing after the St George's parade so I need to plan times and lunch for them. That's tomorrow vanished in a haze of taxi-ing then...

    Oh well. There's always next week, haha :D

    Afternoon all

    Waving from the sofa :hello: and trying to ignore all the dust bunnies dancing in the sunshine coming through the windows.

    DSD and DGD have arrived and vanished with DH for a walk round the shows and some instant rides and sugar rushes :rotfl:

    Have an appointment for the Dr on Monday morning - so hoping I can get some more info and verification of the way forward now. Want to start finding some more energy soon as still v tired all the time :(

    Hope you all having a lovely weekend

    Lynne take it from one who knows ;) if you're that tired, your body is telling you to rest. Baby steps, hun; don't try to do anything much til you've at least spoken with the Doctor. x

    Hoping to get back on the Flying wagon a bit more next week; we're now dogless til 19th May :( as Ronnie has gone home today.

    I have done 2 x WM loads today - bedlinen, which is a regular Saturday task, and a "hot wash" of hankies, towels, flannels, teacloths etc. I would have done it earlier in the week, but it seemed sensible to wait for the doggie teacloth (we have one allocated specially for dog bowls) to be finished with, and it could also go in. We counted 38 hankies in the load!! :eek:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    The party went well. DH & DS2 stayed there for about an hour then walked home. He tolerated the event. Small positive steps. I stayed longer to watch the party games and resist the lovely food. I then walked home to add to my step count.

    Made tea and pottered around.

    Hope you get some more doggy bookings in soon LW X

    Sending strength and feel better vibes to the sofa x

    Great news that your DS2 was able to cope with the party, dancemum. What with that and you going out when the befriender came, he's had a good week :) And well done to you for resisting the buffet - congratulations on your one stone award :T

    I have been forced to spend more time than I wanted to on the Flylady sofa this week, with another of my "Is it?/Isn't it?" migraines. But between bouts of extreme fatigue (the usual pattern for me) I have swept and tidied most of the back yard aka dumping ground, bought bags of fine compost to mix with my chunky home-made stuff for raised beds, pots and baskets, and got myself a shiny new garden fork with a nice short handle to suit my short stature :D
    I have also cleared most of the extraneous paperwork off my desk, the top of the chest of drawers and strewn over the floor, filing or binning most, and with the rest now in neat piles on the bed so that I can deal with them one at a time ;) and I have written out my amended list of things to do this week - some of it wishful thinking, I suspect :o

    I must finish putting all my dates into one diary before I go out at 08.45.

    (((Hugs))) spoons, sticks and GWS vibes to all in need. See you later on the new thread x
