I have come home an hour early as my back was killing me, and I was starting to feel sick from the pain. Got a hot water bottle strapped to my back now, and dosed myself up with lemsip & beechams flu tabs.

Morning All

Feeling shattered this morning - DD decided to wake up at 4am and didn't go back to sleep. After she lay in bed with me talking I sent her back to her own bed - next thing I know she's got her school uniform on at 4.30 in the morning.:mad: I told her to take it off and get into bed - it was the middle of the night - which she did but I don't think she went back to sleep! Worse thing is she's got her swimming lesson tonight so she has a late night anyway and she'll be really tired so won't do very well!

So I was hoping to have another good go at the list tonight after the kids were in bed but the way I feel at the moment, I'll be going to bed with them!

Oh well, hope everyone has a good day.

Jue

PS sorry to hear about your friend's son Kaz.

Lil_me-((Hugs)) that sounds nasty, there are some idiots about!!

Well morning everyone,

I need to go and find my list in a mo but didn't get much more done after picking dd1 up from school apart from take some photos and order christmas cards, was planning to do it at bedtime but dd1 played up all evening and didn't go to bed until 10pm:mad: when I decided I might as well go to bed as it'll shut her up! She can be a madam sometimes! God help me when she's a teenager(she's only 4 1/2)
Kichen was too bad anyway cos I did a bit on sunday but will give it another quick go today, then onto lounge which isn't too bad either.

Ok must go find my list from yesterday!

Hoping to be able to cross a few more chores off today. I love the extras by the way, especially todays phone someone you love! Will try to give my big sis a call.

Very wet and cold here, not looking forward to walking the puppy!

Morning all - hope you're feeling ok lil_me - thank goodness you took evasive action.

Have just rung sis to find out if she got any sleep after yesterday's burglary - and, no surprise she sounded dreadful - doesn't want to go into the kitchen where they broke in, worried they might come back through boarded up door, keeps finding glass everywhere etc...

...and the dirty little ba***rd sh*t and peed in the shed before leaving - police have taken offending article away for DNA. I wish I could lay my hands on them
