Good morning!
I will try to join in this week! Thanks Valli for the lists, and thanks Natty for last week.
Top of my priorities today must be car insurance, as it runs out tomorrow. I have done the leg work, I just need to actually buy it!
WU has been done (thanks DH!), DS's bedding in WM, bank accounts checked, meal plan done. I have a long list of things to do, including allotment stuff (that may have to wait). We need to do a food shop, and I have 3 bags to take to the CS so I may put them in the boot of the car.
Narc0 - I can sympathise with the bride & groom re the timing of the wedding. We got married on the day of Diana's funeral. I got sick of people asking if we were going ahead with it (duh, yeah!!) and then saying (with their head cocked to one side) "Oh, well - it's what she would have wanted" Like she would have given a stuff about some unknown's wedding!!
Hugs, sticks and spoons in abundance to those that need them.
Have a good week everyone!9 -

Piggers I'm going to tell my BPD support group this, below, they'll all be so happy to know we are all normal and sane...😜 (I don't mean this how it sounds, snippy, just can't convey it properly)
Actually I wish I could deal with it but as it's my Bipolar and BPD that sort of floors me I kind of have to go with the flow, so to speak. I try not to let it rule me, or take over, but sometimes it's too much and I just have to give in and deal with it as best I can without harming myself or causing pain anyone else around me - I basically disappear for a while and sleep a lot..pigpen said:I am starting to think normal and sane IS having mental health issues and it is how we deal with them and acknowledging them and giving them time out of our lives to heal a little before real life drags us back in. The minute we let them win or take over or rule our life that is when we lose control. I have so much control over my head it is life a prison. I am actually scared of myself.Dealing with each day as it is dealt to you is not giving in.. you are floored then you get up again and you fight it off and you do amazingly well given your difficulties.. Some days we need to have that bit of time to fix ourselves, and that is great that society is becoming more accepting of this and we can allow ourselves that time.. Maybe I didn't convey what I meant properly.. I am sorry if I offended. I meant that sometimes we have to allow our minds time to heal like we do our bodies before we can get on with our lives.. but getting on with our lives is important and it is when we stop doing that we start to lose the battle. You have the fight, you battle through every day, I can see it. You have bad days or weeks and you get back up, brush away the dust and keep moving forward.. yes your bad days get very bad but that makes it more inspiring that you still keep moving forwrads. A couple of my offsprung have bipolar diagnoses with other ASD bits as well and I see the struggle. Being there to support, listen or just being there is all I can do. It is hard to see, but harder for those who live it.You are just perfect and we all love you just as you are. And all your friends at groups.. They are all amazing just for getting dressed and going out. Just keep getting up again because we miss you when you're not here. ((hugs))

Bank account spreadsheet updated and reconciled against latest statement.
Two scam numbers reported on Who Calls Me (brilliant site well worth checking if you receive an unsolicited call or text)
DiL (well she might as well be called that) texted re shop opening. Apparently Debenhams has queues outside. Was planning to look for bedding in their closing sale - it can wait.
pet dishes soaking after I WUALTD.
Was gifted an empty hamper (wicker) which fits on top of wardrobes in guest room. (I already have another wicker hamper and two wicker baskets up there). Have decided how it can be deployed into usage now. They actually look very smart up there but I don't want them holding a lot of heavy stuff for lifting up and down. If my plan works I can then move the stuff off my own wardrobe into the back room.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Ahhh the power of flylady. At the weekend I was feeling somewhat overwhelmed with a 'where do I start' head on - hence the HP film binge - which I do not regret as I thoroughly enjoyed every second (especially when Alan Rickman was on screen -drool). I now feel as though I have a few of my plates spinning again. Plenty still sat on the floor like (not literally in case you are wondering) - but a start is a start.
Work tomorrow: clean clothes ready, car filled with petrol, food for pack up lunches and cooked evening meals bought, clean crockery and cutlery in cupboard / drawer. Golly - I feel like an 'organised' person ...so this is how it feels
To do list this week:
pay rent at PO on way home from work
buy b'day card for H whilst at PO
order 500g pick and mix sweets from NN (b'day present for H)
take card & sweets to work on Friday
order foot measurer - if size 7 shoes no longer fit what will? Not buying shoes until I know!!!!
start new shopping list: kitchen roll
Going to tackle that second bowl of pots now.

Bother bother bother *stamps foot petulantly*. Have put the stuff in the wicker hamper but I cannot lift it up onto the wardrobe. Everything is going to have to go back where it was bother bother bother.
Rethink - I expect i'm going to need a summer duvet so I will put the duvet which is not being used in the hamper. That will be light enough for me to lift I expect.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

I had to go to the local town to run an errand. It was absolutely heaving; queues 30+ people long for barber shops, no distancing, then whilst in the bank my anxiety was rising (what I was doing was important but the cashier didn't fill me with confidence and kept asking me questions I thought he should know), I ended up having a panic attack.Got home, lit the fire and I've stayed put since. Kids will be disappointed as I'd promised a trip to the park after school but I can't face it. I just want to stay safe in my world. Sorry for the pity party, give me a class of teens and I'm fine but swathes of joe public all over the place and people getting excited about pubs, I can't understand x12
