I've read everything, so apologies if I miss anyone...
Glad you're feeling better LW.
Fantastic news Natty about Dave. Now look after yourself. Sticks being thrown at black dogs everywhere.
Well done to your DD, Good Intentions.
Take it easy, Lynne. One small drawer at a time.
Still trying to get over the thought of Pigger's OH doing the hula with that appointment card stuck to his head....:rotfl:

Severe lack of flying to report today. Apart from the dailies, I think that putting the rubbish out and wiping around stuff (saves moving it out of the way!) on the kitchen work tops just about sums it up.
**goes off muttering, I will do better tomorrow, I will do better tomorrow....**

S&S only today. Checked the spare room - done recently so ok.

Kitchen once over - not much mess made in there today. Will be a different story tomorrow. No bake chocolate brownies, Blueberry muffins and Fish Pie to be prepped.

Only 200? You lightweight! :rotfl:

LOL Froddington that's exactly what Mr N said - is that all? We had to prune for ages to get our last photobook done, 350.

If it's gone it's either done or it didn't need doing this week. The floors and HHI (or two) will be delegated to the males of the household (and I don't mean the dog...).
Earlier finish tomorrow, but I've acquired an hour's private tuition in the evening, which will hopefully be a regular thing until July.

I did the Couch to 5K with a local club in January/February. I wouldn't have done it on my own! I never thought I would be able to run for more than 2 minutes non stop!! I now do the Parkrun every Saturday (5K), and have got my time down from 38 minutes to 32:49 since February!!!

That's good going!
Managed Clubbercise strictly without my glow-sticks to wave (what am I, 12?) as per shoulder dictates. Saw physio before I went in so managed to book an appt for tomorrow.
2 loads washing done.
Load of dry clothes folded and put away.
1 report finished.
Phone company hassled again; this one (I think I'm up to contact 7 at present) at least discovered another number which may help the "unlock" team get to grips with it; and she gave me her email address. I mumbled compensation for their incompetence and she agreed to put some credit on it once it is working again (ever the optimist).
Bird feeders filled.
Lots of distraction technique from writing reports by looking up places to stay in Cornwall.
Just back from Tango lesson. Hard. Poor instructor.

Stripped DS's bed today.

Handbag emptied in frantic search for phone (wanted to take pics of (a) fruit/free food stash and (b) slimmer of the week certificate to send to mum, sis and DD). Phone in shopping bag because I was going to phone DS to let me in. He'd left the key in the door.

Been on errands.

Lost 3.5lbs...'tis surely a miracle as I ate cake...

Have baked veggies for tomorrows lunch

House looking ok...

Took bag of too-large clothes to cash for clothes and have thrown the £5 at the debt I am currently attacking. Had ignored it while my mind was otherwise occupied; now need to shrink it, sharpish.

Morning all

It's lovely and sunny today, but bitterly cold. I have emptied the DW, WUDUPA some bits and kiddies are having breakfast. Will stick a wash on shortly.

Plans for today and for an easy-ish day - visiting grandma, pop to the shops for a new t-shirt for DD (she needs one in a particular colour for an event at school tomorrow) and do some financials.

Have fab days all xx

I know I keep disappearing and I'm really really sorry but I am going to do my utmost to sit tight! Just going to jump straight in where I am and see what I can do.

House is an actual bomb site, it really is, but I am thorough unmotivated and DH is now almost a year unemployed and nothing in sight really - been for interviews but no success and I think it's dragging us both down. I've filled out a tax credits form for us as can't manage without help now; I don't earn much and DH's money going at an alarming rate and not going replaced.

Started riding again and of course got Whiz Whippet to walk and that's great as gets me out of the house for some me time but I fear my MH stuff is rumbling away so I am making sure I look after myself.

Hope all are well; I'll doubtless catch up as we go.
