  • Morning all,

    up early this morning as the joiner is here with a nail gun :eek: putting the new wood floor down in the hallway.

    I'm sooo glad he's finally arrived as it means my stairs will finally be bolted to the walls and I can get rid of the ladder we have been using to get to the loft for the past 8 months. Woooo! :j

    tiamai_d: how is your knee this morning? Mine are really dodgy and I find a kneee support a great help, as well as a hot wrap/bath.

    gunsandbanjos: Hope you feel better later on. Treat yourself to a nice honey and lemon and stay warm.

    Welcome to jenagain and all the newbies - this thread is FANTASTIC and will provide you with as many hugs and kicks as you require.

    Done so far:

    Emptied diswasher
    Done washing up from roast chicken night (mmmmmm)
    Meal planned for next week (For the 1st time EVER! well done meee!)
    Tidied clothes on bedroom dresser
    Made bed and aired bedroom
    Had brekkie

    Morning everyone, still feeling abit sickly here but will carry on as i'm determint to get all done this week.
    Bit of a bad start this morning as we all slept in oppps but at least all was sitting ready.
    Right gonna go get a glass of milk and crack on (can't believe i'm off tea, just can't drink it), be back later to update.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
