ZIGGY!! You don't bring the thread down at all, you are a really lovely, thoughtful, helpful and generally awesome lady. Please don't worry, we all have off days and its great having this thread to be able to vent if we need too. :grouphug:

Also echoing what 1LL has said ziggy! You do not in any way bring the thread down, far from it! You are one of the pillars holding this long standing thread together. We're friends, sharing the ups and downs of life. Gosh I know I have shared a lot of both ups and downs over the years.

Now young lady be gentle on one of our girls, DMS orders!

Hello :wave:

Ziggy, don't think you bring the thread down. We're here for support, not just with DFWness, but everything else that comes along with it. Chin up

Thank you!

Trying to get back on track to salvage this month after last week’s set backs. Have only managed one NSD so far. Used gym and shower at work. OH found a fiver in a puddle in the street earlier (yay for plastic money).

Yaay to finding a fiver, DNMS was a great wombler of "roadkill"

Morning all :hello: ziggy post any and all of your woes away on here. That’s absolutely what we’re here for. You’ve definitely been here for many of ours over the years, so no apology needed at all. Problem shared, problem halved and all that. Hope you are soon feeling less tired too.

My list for today:
Do a shopping list, if I have time pop to shop
Washing shuffle, won’t be going outside due to rain
Triage fridge and do next weeks meal plan based on that. Will do this before shop.
Paid £co money that’s landed in my 1p fund.
Need to send vibes to a couple of other £co payments that are overdue for payout
Check just for points cc
Aim for a run or long walk later
Working from home so no commute :j

Have a good day everyone. Purps.

Good morning all!

I finally feel like my funk of the last few weeks might be lifting... fingers crossed!

Speaking of roadkill, my dad is the CHAMPION of it. He actually walks along the kerbside looking for it specially! I have seen him dig a 1p piece out of a muddy gutter in the pouring rain. He keeps all his roadkill in a special bag that he uses for paying onto buses etc. He is very obsessive over it (we think he's probably well on the autistic spectrum - not just due to this but he displays many other autistic traits).

Piddling down with rain here but it's my Saturday so I am slobbing around in my dressing gown and stretchy pants OH is recording today so he's out all day and I can take things at my own pace.

Today's mission:
:heartpuls B/L/D from stores. Not sure what yet but lots in - done
:heartpuls Post up some crochet photos to page - done and getting a good response
:heartpuls Should crochet some baby blanket but am actually knitting a sock - sock all the way
:heartpuls Reconcile budget sheet - done. Lots of spends
:heartpuls Put away washing - done
:heartpuls More washing but on 30 deg and reduced spin. - doneWill have to dry on airer - done
:heartpuls Check garden - all looking well and plants taking! Not too much slug damage this year! - done
:heartpuls Use water from dehumidifier to water plants in greenhouse - done
:heartpuls Strain yogurt - done
:heartpuls Register purchase of new cheesecloth to get 1 year guarantee!
:heartpuls No alcohol - done
:heartpuls Check PMP - done
:heartpuls Make some sweet treats using up odds and ends treacle/honey/golden syrup - done

Not much but I might add through the day. Have a good one all

Many thanks for everyone's good wishes but I have to say that I think everyone is inspirational on the thread.
We are all on different journeys and face difficult challenges along the way, but we keep fighting them.
Special mention to Ziggy. U definitely don't bring the thread down. I can relate to the tad difficult mum and my brother and I don't speak. When I went into hospital none of the family knew as it has been ripped apart by another family member with serious health issues and was a mess even before that.
I like that we are a big supportive thread and are always here for each other. Ziggy and everyone-u r the best
Spendy day yesterday, cat to the vets for 6 month check up.
After DawnW mentioned about chicken, I fancied some chicken casserole so that will be made today in the the SC
Popped along to a bestie's birthday celebrations, was really nice to have a catch up
Not sure what I will be doing today.
Need to do a kitchen tidy.
Pop out for cat litter only-don't need anything else
Youngest cat is currently trying to destroy the kitchen practising her hunting skills on box of weetabix!

Have checked banking and quidco
I have one work frog I need to deal with. I've asked for an extension but might start later

Youngest cat is now trying to destroy the house full stop!
One RM surveys to do
Have come to a standstill on decluttering, just bits and bobs at the minute-need the keep working on this.
That's about it from me, have a fab day everyone x

Morning all,
I wonder is La E has had her new baby yet?? exciting times
Clf, glad you are feeling brighter today, enjoy your Saturday!
Ziggy, hope you are feeling brighter today too.
Ditty, I agree that getting some exercise is great physically and mentally, I really feel a difference if I can't get to my gym classes or out into the garden as I also find being outside in the sunlight has a big effect on my moods.
Seasons in the mist, well done on your find!
Dawn, sounds like you had a lovely (although unexpected) afternoon

Quite a boring list from me today but dh went away for work this morning and isn't due back til late tomorrow night so I'm just going to potter.
So far
* ys bread with eggs for breakfast
* ds2 to free school breakfast club
* refilled water bottle twice at the gym
* home via aldee as we needed milk, got the few other bits that were on the list too


To do
** check banking/update spreadsheet and email a copy back to myself Done
** wrap a gift using preloved paper for my FIL as we will see them at the weekend - birthday not until the summer but will save us on postage
** ring hospital to see if I can get ds2s bloods done at the same time as another appointment he has next week to save on fuel and time out of school for him. done, can be done same day but will involve a lengthy wait, but that will be better then going a different day/time
** my lunch will be leftovers chicken/mushroom pie filling and mash I enjoyed it more then last night for some reason!
** food tonight will be wraps I've taken out of the freezer with chicken and salad and I'll get some corn on the cobs out of the freezer to go with it too so nice, ds1 said it was like something he'd had in Mcd's a while ago but mine was better
** make boys lunches for tomorrow done
** make sure I've done everything important before kids come home as ds2 is having his National tests this week (we don't have sats tests here in Wales, the kids have annual tests from yr 2-yr 9 four papers English, welsh and two maths papers procedural and reasoning) he's been wanting lots of cuddles the last few days as hes been stressing about them he's happier tonight, 2 down 2 to go.

Thats my start. Take care all

Hello again :wave:
Just realised I haven't posted a list :rotfl:
So far:
HG fruit with breakfast
Ordered prescription online

Usual morning kitchen clean up
Put bread maker on, making an olive and herb loaf to use up a lurking quarter jar of Lidls olives in the fridge! Now done, and it smells gorgeous!

Shopping in Mr S. Spent more than I had anticipated, but spend included 3 jars of the coffee I like at £1.50 off each jar, couldn't miss that! Also a few YS items, so not all bad.
Got rid of paper recycling in the facilities at the supermarket - we can put paper in our stupid kerbside recycling box with no lid (they don't fit tight, so blow away and get broken) but you can imagine what happens to waste paper then if it is windy - so it goes to the supermarket when I am going anyway
Paid window cleaner
Noted spends down in diary, ready for transfer to spreadsheet
Put shopping away
Now collapsed in a chair as I had to haul all the shopping round to the front as the window cleaner was faffing about at the back :cool: Just remembered I am not supposed to lift / carry things :eek: Oh well!
Still to do:
Check banks and update spreadsheet Done
Pay milk bill Done
Questionable soup from freezer for lunch -I remember it wasn't that nice when it went in. Hopefully it has improved :rotfl:Done, it was ok, not great, but quite edible, and it didn't get wasted :T
Pesto pasta and olive bread for dinner Will be late, as the plumber is coming to fix the boiler at about 6 apparently :cool: At least it won't take long to cook!
Sort out more stuff for sales unit tomorrow Not yet!
Coffee needed first!
Got outside for a few minutes between massive rain showers, picked some rhubarb and sowed some dill seed. Rhubarb now in freezer

Got stove alight now, as it is cold as well as wet When on earth is it going to warm up a bit?
