Morning all
decided to start the day off with a coffee in bed and, as I could hear suspicious sounds (I had a mouse but I let it go and now it's under the console table and I can't quite reach it) I decided to make it downstairs (as opposed to using the teasmade). As it happened my long duster was close by, the console table is in the hallway so I opened the front door, shoved the long duster underneath and, after a bit if bouncing about, persuaded it to leave, managing to keep the cat on the inside. She's averaging 2 a week
DW x1
work later.

Morning all
Thanks again for the new list, making an effort to fly... welcome to moredaisy.
I’m at paid stuff but have just stopped to put the kettle on
Flying progress...
wm x 1 run and now in TD as it’s raining here
bed made and other dailies done
dry laundry folded and put in airing cupboard
went out for a quick walk before work, my back and hip are hurting and I’m sure too much sitting at my desk is not helping... I have an adjustable desk and can stand up at it, I was good when I first had it but have fallen out of the habit, have set myself reminders to use it for 5 mins every hour to start with... little changes and all that.
right, brew made, back to it I go x8 -

Ty For Fred! xx
Love and hugs and healy vibes to all in need.. welcome Moredaisy.. and I hope your prognosis is good and recovery swift!
DD1 been this morning with the 2 smalls and has gonen off to drs.
Twinkle is snotting like a good 'un this morning.
I filled 4 carriers with rubbish and flung those in the bin.
Basket of washing brought down.
My neck hurts and my ear feels like it is growing a large spot which is utterly bizarre and I don't think I have had in years!
Physio sent me some exercises to do.. most of them are impossible.. lift your leg this way and fliggle it about .. yeeeaaahhhhh, that's not happening... haha. Not really sure whether to email back andsay this isn't happening or just wait to see if they bother ringing me.
House is a swamp and I am not 100% certain where to start.. Painting Moomins room? Vacuuming the cat litter which appears to be absolutely everywhere? Putting away baskets of socks? Gutting the kitchen? Sorting toys/non-toys in the girls room? Honestly, I have no idea.

Hi ladies, achieved everything which was on my morning list so I am pleased. I have collected the children from school, they are playing on the gadgets whilst I prep dinner and make some veg fridge bottom soup for my lunches for the rest of the week.It's gloomy and damp here, but not cold enough to light the fire. I hope everyone has had a good day xx8

Long old day at work, came home with a niggling background headache. DH had prepped dinner and bought a nice bottle of wine even though we haven’t been drinking in the week, as today’s my birthday. Dinner done, we have even tidied the kitchen after a fashion. I now have a cuppa and a piece of cake - and still fighting the annoying headache.
Flying....err.... yesterday’s washing has finally dried, and today’s towels will probably take an age. I think that might be the sum total.8
