    juyst catching up eith the thread. Lil-me thinking of you and your friends family. As said at least they are at the best place. Praying for them all.

    All seems so incidental after reading that. Have been to Edinburgh this week so haven't really done much. Well haven't done anything!! The only thing I have done is give my DS and DD a cuddle and told them I love them :D

  • Michelle= hope all goes well for you this morning.

    lil_me- thinking of you and your friends today.


    x_raphael_xx- have a lovely time away wherever you are off to.

    House is a tip.
    Too tired last night and had horrid tummy ache so not a lot got done.
    I have 20 minutes when I get back from taking DS to school to do something productive then I'm out to see someone about my dodgy shoulder and then meeting up with a mum from DS's old school who I haven't seen since July.

    Only sold 3 items on ebay, but that's 3 more things out of the house and a couple of £'s in my pocket.
    Must get organised and do a car boot soon.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    Morning All,
    Though I wish I could stay in bed...
    Sending DD3 off to school. I think she was just sick because she stole money and stuffed herself with sweets. Serves her right, really, but I wish I didn't have to deal with the fallout!!

    Right, today I've got to:

    Clean bathroom
    Dust and hoover children's bedrooms
    Strip beds ( that's just one now!)
    Get bedlinen washed and dryed and put back on beds
    S&S kitchen
    Hoover throughout
    Wash downstairs floors
    Have some ebay items to post ( YIPEE)
    List more things on ebay
    Ring tilers about porch and conservatory


    I can't think of anything else, but I'm sure there is more, it certainly feels like there should be.
    I've got roofers and blind people turning up today. I also have to go into toen and DS1 is back from his school trip.....
    I've had enough already...
    Going to make a start, will catch up again in about an hour....

    Just been on the phone to his Mam, babies heart is back to front, not getting the oxygen he needs, he's had one operation last night and needs a very serious one in a few weeks, can't stop shaking and crying at the mo, his Mam is coming home to get some things when traffic won't be as bad so going over to see her then. Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts, this little guy needs them right now. I need to find some info for his Mam as she's asked me to. It's called Transposition something, so will be searching franctically and downloading what pages I can on to the laptop for when she comes back. He has the top heart surgeon as he was on call last night which is good news.

    Aimee, hope your Aunty is ok.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all :hello:

    Michelle - thinking of you today

    Lil-me - Praying for your friends family.

    Really tired again today, doesn't help that nextdoor decided to have a blazing row in their bedroom at 11pm :mad: So I'm exhausted again this morning.

    Plan for today:

    DAILIES
    • Beds
    • Kitchen S&S
    • Bathroom S&S
    • Washing
    • Evening meal
    • IRONING - I estimate about an hours worth ;)
    • Shopping?
    • Weeks jobs
      • Update Money
      • Set up a budget for the rest of the month until Paydays for each of us. (4-6 days apart :rolleyes: )
      • Start HGP lists - amended version for me as I have a much smaller house and it started back in August :o (as seen here : http://holidaygrandplan.com/ )
      • Gather ideas for Christmas gifts
      • Update Christmas Card list - thinking save money and send an e-card to people abroad who's email addresses we have ;)
    Ironing board is already out as I needed to do a blouse for DD. Will attack the rest of it in fits and starts today as I've got an achey back today :rolleyes: I should really go shopping but I don't think I can be bothered, nothing is urgent anyway :p Right, best get on :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
