Thank you for the thread Valli. Hopefully you're side effects are easing now.

I shall be in as best I can, plus l I'm also on the decluttering thread for 2023 too so I can clear out what we need to get this house finally on the market a.s.a.p. So in-between this one and the other thread I'm covered 😉

Evening ladies

I have done everything that I wrote in my last post, pleased to declare NSD 2/31.

Fire lit, dinner on and a cheeky beer poured. Love to all xx

Sorry to hear some Flyladies are not looking forward to going back to work.  Why is it, whenever I mention to a bloke how much I enjoyed Lockdown, they always tell me they like the social aspect of work, and miss it when wfh?  Never heard a woman say that.

Sorry about the reminder about your friend Pigpen.  It's very hard thinking what could have been if only ....

Today I have:

- decluttered excess clothing from my chest of drawers, so I now have a bag of clothes for hiking that can be discarded along the way because they're pretty much worn out, and a bag of clothes and girly bits and pieces (tit tape anyone?) for the CS (I'm not young enough to show that much flesh any more; it looks better covered up),

- supper prepped ahead of this evening because I don't last that long at the moment, but I can cook it as long as it's all ready to hit the pans,

- turned a kitchen drawer out.

- made brocolli and stilton soup for lunch from the freezer and used yesterday's leftover toast as garlic croutons, which worked suprisingly well,

- patch-mended a double duvet cover and a queen bottom sheet that both had a rip in them.  They're been waiting for that for oooooh, a year or so.  The sheet is on our bed, because I also

- changed our bed,

- cleared the small stack of ironing that's been there since before I broke my ankle, which actually was there for months before that, so I can also sport a clean and ironed apron when I throw supper together,

- had a shower and washed my hair.

I didn't do any laundry because although it didn't rain today the ground has dried out, so the washing would have been pretty soggy when I brought it in. nThere's a bit of a mountain of it so I think I'll visit the laundrette after the Foodbank on Thursday.  The WMs are huge, we've got three bed changes to do, lots of towels and I want to get rid of our TD because it takes up too much space so if I can manage without it this winter it's gone! gone! gone!  The laundrette has gas ones and they're not that expensive in comparison.

Hi all, managed to get two loads of washing washed and, mostly, line dried. DW done twice. Sheep fed and counted, need numbers for a form from some government department. I have to fill it in every january. Also rounded up the rams and took them back home. We borrow a couple every year from our neighbour. Also done a run round with a bin bag and sorted the recycling for tomorrow morning. 

Hugs to all that need them, mumtoomany.xxx

I sorted a bit of my room.. but my stomach hurts and I want to curl up and knit.. always the knitting.. I put away a few more christmas bits which arrived, and a few I unearthed.

I have booked dance class.. That starts in Saturday. I have booked swimming, also starting again Saturday.

DW run,

3x WM

2x TD
Bunch of wet stuff hung up
I wiped 2 doors upstairs.. and discovered a bag of toiletries which was moved to the bathroom

I put bedding away and a few of my clothes once I found the chest of drawers.

The rest may have to wait until Sunday.. assuming we don't go to the inlaws.. urgh... I hate not having any kind of break.

Nail appointment on Wednesday.. and a hospital appointment in the morning I received on Saturday so cannot rearrange because it is closed until my appointment tomorrow.. it is even at a half decent time (10am)

I didn't get the soup made as I read instead!  I'm doing a twelve hour shift tomorrow so don't think I'll achieve anything else.

Unfortunately not.  I did get up and dressed but I have not got the energy to shower.  I’m back in bed now, with a hot water bottle.  Totally unable to fly.  I have cleaned my teeth and that feels like an achievement

Valli, just do what your body is saying. Doesn't matter about the flying, do it when you can.

Biggest mistake DH makes at the moment is not listening to his body and overdoing it. He then ends up worse than in the first place. He curses this chemo of his, trouble is he's on a lifetime maintenance dosage, upping every now and again when needed.

It does get easier as you learn to live with it... 😘

I have decluttered some diabetes supplies (purchasable). A lovely lady is having trouble with the pharmacy who have had her prescription for 2 weeks and not dispensed it.. I have given her sensors and bits enough for a couple of weeks .. terrible service but she hasn't had any glucose checks for 48 hours now and the pharmacy is obviously closed.. Disgraceful service from the pharmacy and she said the staff were very rude when she asked when it would be done as she was desperate on Saturday.. Hopefully she can sleep safely tonight.. She is so sweet.

Hi all xx

valli hugs pal 🤗 hope you’ve managed a bit of sleep and your pain is easing xx

piggers hugs 🤗 for you too. I know you don’t like them but tough! 

Had a house full yesterday for steak pie dinner. Most of them a bit fragile from a nights partying. I was working till 2.45am so I was just knackered. After I cleared up and everyone was away I just flopped  on the couch. 

Backshift done today. Managed a couple of loads of washing today and that been about it. I need to get the tree down tomorrow when I get in from work so I can put the heated winterdyke back up.
