    Morning all,

    Thank you for the lists. Unfortunately my kitchen really needs doing so I'll have to catch up with that one later, or tomorrow.

    Just waiting for the wm to finish then it's off to work. Must fill up car with petrol on the way.

    Hugs aplenty to all who want to take them. X
  • Morning all, another week and hopefully some quieter times between now and Christmas.
    This week I'm working Tuesday am and Wednesday pm, with Pickle at the Childminder's for three days. So I should not have an excuse not to fly.

    Today: day at home being a Mum with Pickle today. So just keeping on top of the daily drudge of life. Not enough washing for a load at the moment, but we are planning on going swimming later, so that will change.
    House is actually quite tidy and last night's dishwasher run has been emptied and this morning's pots deposited.

    In 'long term ness' I'm trying to introduce Pickle to the Montessori 'tidy up as you go along approach' we shall see!

    Right. Need to build a railway track now!!!

    Kitchen cleaned all bar the oven.
    Attempt to buy family secret santa gift thwarted as preferred item is out of stock on website. Phoned nearest large M&S and they don't have it either.
    Anyway. as it's a bright sunny day all windows open to air house; noticed a lot of dust in guest room/office/DD's room (all one tiny room actually lol)window frame so have cleaned frame. (Probably because it was left permanently ajar all summer). So now smeared window needs cleaning. Could really do with whipping through bathroom before I go to work as I am working all day tomorrow so won't be able to do it then.

  • Hi folks, count me in again this week. I didn't get much sleep last night so once I am home from work my my plan is do do a few tasks and then have a relaxed dinner once OH gets in from work (he's in around 7pm).

    Tonight's plans:

    Kitchen - clear worktop and wipe down.
    Sort dinner - leftovers so easy enough.
    S/S upstairs bedrooms.
    HH Ironing. It probably won't even take the full half hour.


    Tomorrow morning before work:
    Strip and remake beds. Remake may happen once i am home from work.

    Likewise.


    For reasons unknown, my pain levels have increased considerably; and I had some extremely disappointing news via email this morning.


    So what little GUAG I had left had promptly left the building.

  • I'm in on the sidelines, tried to post this morning but failed. But never mind it just isn't my day for technology today as tried to do an insurance survey by video conference and thought it was all ok only the photos didn't save on my phone so had to ask tennant to take them again and email them so felt a fool and didn't want to make her go outside in the rain again. But upside is insurance have agreed to pay all so very good news and that is frog that was risking turning into a toad gone!

    WM has been on, so has TD and I've done one load of ironing/putting away. Bank statements also filed away. Bed made, room aired, dinner planned (only soup but a least sorted)

    Working most of the week so not much time to fly but sometimes that makes me more productive with the little bit of time I do have. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Going to look at a few more bits in the admin tray whilst I have my cup of tea.

    Thanks. He hadn't been on mtx for several months, it was changed for Hydroxychloroquine some time ago. Sadly that hasn't been effective against the joint pain hence re-starting mtx. He was very surprised when the nausea and tiredness reared its ugly head, hadn't expected it all. Will mention the dairy and check the folic acid. Think he has an appt next month to see how it's going. Ironically Ibuprofen worked best when he was on Hydroxy, but nurse was most unimpressed when he told her.

    Have just done a bit more of a report then written a few more Xmas cards.

    How long has he been taking NSAIDs for? They're right so and sos for beggaring up your stomach (3 doses and I was puking - just before I suddenly became allergic to all of the blasted things, complete with burning, blistering hands). Put long term use of them and something that can cause nausea together and it's not going to be pleasant.


    Our 38% chance of scattered, light showers has been seven torrential downpours with thunder and lightening and a main road under roughly a foot of water (straight up from the culverted beck underneath the house) so far today. Only two leaks in the roof at work, though - directly over the so-expensive-it-can-never-be-replaced equipment :cool: but rapidly spotted and covered with a wastepaper basket and a strategically poised Gratnells Tray.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
