and to top off today.. DD1's ex turned up at hers after being sent home from work early after a member of staff was quarantined after her son was diagnosed with coronavirus..

JUST what we need!

Pigpen

Which area is this ^^^ please?

They are in Lincolnshire.. The colleagues son had been touring in northern Italy, he flew home and spent 24+ hours with the colleague and was admitted to hospital the following day. fortunately it was half term as the colleague works in a school so no children were in contact so it hasn't been closed. The colleague has not shown any symptoms and is quarantined now but she was at work for 2-3 days after spending a day with her sick son.. Must suck though, your son in hospital and you can't even visit

Fishtank sprung a leak this morning (I suspect it may have been Dot related!) so I have 80L of water on my kitchen floor.. Sarah was rescued and is merrily zipping about in a pink plastic stacking box.. the kittens think she is wonderful.. the box has a lid!
New tank ordered I am just hoping it is adequate.. it's a cheap one from Argos and I'm not convinced it is much good fortunately I had £100 stashed for Dots assessment so I used that.. and I am going to fling stuff at ebeast to get that built back up I think.. that is my job for today.. 10 things on ebeast.. I've not put anything on for a while so I need to do that anyway.. see if I can clear another box off the landing.. though I could probably list half of Twinkles clothes because she seems to have had a big growth spurt and pretty much skipped 2-3 size and wearing 3-4 now.

Off for a shower.. after another cuppa..

oh dear that is a lot of water piggers.

Dr's appointment decluttered I am now wearing a blood pressure monitor for the next 24 hours, it goes off every 1/2 hour so a fun night to be had.

Shopping to be done

Snow has gone, but I did take a photo when I got up

Have a good day

Morning xx

If you want a slinky buddy asb I'm here. I desperately need to get on track - I've been fat and forty and fat and fifty, I'll never be slim, but I can be slinky at sixty. Which gives me six months to MAD. And then ten years to keep at it and be slinky at seventy too.

Morning all. Slinky back in here I've gained 2 stone 😢

Why don't you join the Old Style Weight Loss challenge we are a very friendly and supportive bunch x

Apologies to Dot.. the fish tank had cracked after the heater had exploded.. fish safely placed in her new watery home with 2 woodlice (They were in the hose when we were filling it up and I couldn't get them out)
Kittens broke a melamine bowl so thats been flung.. I didn't get the ebeast stuff listed yet either.
I developed a headache so I drugged that and a cold which thinks it might be developing.. and then I was just dopey.

I've got 2 wash loads done and one lot hung up and another in the dryer.

Sending OH off the tip tomorrow.. a fish tank and some old oil.

I do have 3 large boxes I am going to fill with items to leave the house though.. one thing at a time..

Fayolle

Work done. Opticians ticked for me and DD. Washing done and hung. Window cleaner paid. Hair washed. Dinner cooked. Kitchen tidied. DW on.  I think that was it.  How the heck did that take me all day???

YORKSHIRELASS

Hi all, have not been around much, missing you all.  DS has been in hospital a lot and after he had a very emotional meltdown he begged me to stay in hospital with him, so that's what I have been doing.  DH has surprised me by keeping things reasonably clean and tidy at home, but now I am back it seems that its my job again!  What with juggling hospital and work I am really tired but the end is in sight, the last cycle of chemo will be done by 9th March if everything goes to plan.  I am another who has put weight on, once normal life resumes I must get back to the gym!

Mademoiselle

Morning all

I am going to fly today.  Also joining you for slinky, I'm Mademoiselle, 73 kilos, and want to be 65.  My weakness is red wine and cheese, and afternoon snacking if I don't eat lunch.  Real problem is I don't move enough.  So going to up the activity level by getting this house sorted.  

Pellet stoves reloaded and on, breakfast eaten, radio on so no excuses.
