Grrr!  Wrote a comment last night, but apparently failed to 'Post' (again).

You're more than welcome to join this crazy crew, Crazycatlady2.  Yes, even with vague meal planning I often get caught out by what to cook for our evening meal - last night I ran late because I went to take the key back to the NNDN and she wanted to chat, so I ended up cooking cauli cheese, a small piece of gammon shared between us, a fried egg each, and extra green veg.  It tasted fine!
Hope your DPs don't wear you out, Valli - it's good to hear that the inpatient has become an outpatient xxx
HB, I would have ranted too x
Fayolle, perhaps you should invite your boss to visit your office   Hope your boiler gets fixed soon x
Round, you sound very organised! x

DH redeemed himself a bit yesterday by helping to make up both beds...

4 Christmas cakes and 2 puds so far have joined the mincemeat in the fridge out in the utility.  One more pud has been cooked overnight and is now cooling, the 4th is already in to cook and will be ready about lunchtime, and that leaves 2 large and 4 individual waiting in the kitchen fridge.  I actually feel quite organised on that front!

Today's 'bitsa' list (à la Narc0):
- Write down my weekly list before I forget something
- Sort more photos
- Reply to two PMs
- Sort more photos
- Wash towels
- Sort more photos
- Arrange a lunch trip with my Cypriot friend
- Sort more photos
- Keep on cooking puds
- Sort more photos (hopefully by now I shall have finished the albums and be onto the digital files, which should be quicker)

(((Hugs))) to asb and the lame piggy;  also to YL and anyone else in need today.  Hope everyone gets some sunshine xxx

Morning all.  Hope you're well today.

As my bed is so cosy I stayed in it until 8am.  Just having second cuppa and some cereal. I have checked emails and freshened the sofa covers. Dog food is being prepped too.

Another day to do as I please.  I will report back with any flying.

Have a great day everyone.

Valli

Morning all

my priority today is to proof read DD’s dissertation.  My sister is organising a family meeting to see what support can be given to the aged p’s,  by the family, hopefully this weekend.  Mum wanted to visit my late sister in hospital yesterday, so i’m envisioning a time when she forgets Janice died and the grief will return.  

Anyway my house is neglected though DD has done stuff but she is busy.

Ive no idea how the day will pan out though i need to go up to theirs, i forgot my toothbrush.  Fortunately it’s electric, we have a couple of handles and i have spare heads (bought in a sale…this is MSE after all)

ETA flying - DW x 1

Morning all, was up early as puppy was crying to go out in the garden to do his morning constitutional, so I popped on Mr T's app and booked my Christmas slot 😉

Welcome to the club Crazycatlady2 😀
Oooh fayolle has Tuesday's off... 👋 Cooeee 😆
Valli I do hope being at the p's doesn't tire you out too much Hon.
asb huge hugs honey it sounds like you need them.
Piggers hope you aren't in too much pain today - let others do stuff and youlook after yourself today 👍
I'm exhausted reading your posts round..do you want to come here and sort the house out...lol
Iona that is way too organised for me...lol

Afraid I've got a busted right arm - well a small fracture just down from the elbow. It's my fault as I fell over rather awkwardly 10 weeks ago and didn't realise I'd busted it..I just thought I'd bruised it. Well it's been getting more and more painful since the swelling went down and the bruise appeared. Also I'm finding it hard to lift things, heavy or light..even laying on it is agony. So got an appointment yesterday afternoon to get told I'd left it too late for strapping up as it's finding its own way to heal now. And leaving me in agony, so I'm being referred to the skeletal and muscular department (didn't think that was a thing..lol) and they'll do look at it. I have got a tubular bandage on the arm, using ibuprofen gel and taking co-codamal all prescribed yesterday. Plus I have to rest the darn thing..not good when noone (DH) will do anything in the house for me. He says he's not well... And I need to sort the living room out, and empty boxes etc. hmmmm!!!!

So far I've decluttered chicken thighs into the slow cooker, fed the pup and picked up his toys and debris (toy stuffing) from the floor.

I may do 15 mins, rest, 15 mins etc....once I've showered.

Hugs to everyone ❤️

Morning - waving like crazy in all directions, to Round, Natty and Iona 👋
Did I mention that I don’t work today…
Anyhoo, up early (awake at going to work time, grrr), hair washed and sorted, wm x 1 run and hung, bits and bobs rehomed. Just getting my thang together to work myself up to drive to big town for my flu jab. And inspired by Round’s organisational abilities, I might start thinking about the C-word. Other flying on the list for the day includes duster flicking (yawn, thankless task), bathroom cleaning (hmmm, also no thanks there), and vacuum cleaning (you get the gist…). I would also like to clear the final few lurking boxes from the landing of random kitchen stuff that I obviously haven’t missed over the past few months. And I need to make sure that a cs bag is right in the way as DH will be passing one tomorrow and I’m not missing that opportunity 😉.
Enough there to contemplate, methinks. Highly likely that very little will be ticked off, as I have new knitting and a library book or 3 on the go.
Have a lovely day all. Hugs all round x

Natty.. I would come unpack for you if you were closer. Why do we not just have a little village all to ourselves?
Valli..that sounds like your mum has had a rapid decline.. it is so sad watching who they were slip away. My ex-MIL has vascular dementia.. I'm waiting for her to forget I left their toxic family and ask where I am.. that'll stir up some mess. She has lost about 15 years so it is very close. (I won't go see her, it will just confuse her more plus I don't want to)

The migraine is a patch of numbness in my face today but I cricked my neck on the way out to take the girls to school so my ON is screaming instead.. head pain in the absolute worst.. but it is detracting from the pain in the rest of my body so there is a bonus. My tummy is not happy with the amount of medication being taken.

I do not get the manic food buying at christmas.. I feed 11 on a daily basis and had 33 last christmas.. bought 'extras' in the weeks before and just did a normal shop on the 23rdish.. it's one day of shop closure so I got 3 extra loaves, 2 milks and an extra cheese and ham. I have done a meat delivery of pork, bacon, chicken, gammon and a few bits of steak for OH as part of his gifts.. he likes the meat! Honestly one of my FB groups people are hysterical over delivery slots.. life is way too short for that level of panic.

Don't be too inspired ladies. I just caught myself about to squirt hand-wash on my toothbrush 🤢 

Anyhoo I'm showered  washed hair, cleaned my teeth 😉, and dressed. All worn clothes have been put in the laundry hamper. 
Before that I slipped my fleece over my nightie, put out the recycling and pegged out the first load of washing. Second load is swishing. First load included my lunch bag - a linen tote bag which I noticed was looking very grufty. 
I've also fed the birds, emptied the kitchen bin,  and put a new bin bag in.

I'm now having 5 minutes with a coffee. Join me? Then I'll peg out the second load, WUDUPA, and write those birthday cards. 1st and 2 x 7th November birthdays were sorted. Got a breathing space now til 25th. Then, in December,  it's 8th, 9th  13th, 15th and 30th. And January 4th and 8th get sorted with December birthdays....meaning I can then breathe until 14th and 16th January. I only have 8 birthdays  from 17th January til 31st October! I'm sincerely hoping that DS and DF have summer babies...if they ever get round to it. 

Natty - MSK Team provide physiotherapy here. They probably do other stuff too. 

Fayolle - it wasn't a secret was it? Ooops. It isn't now 🤣

Posi vibes, healing vibes, hugs and much love to you all.

PS if we're having a Flylady village I'm available for pet sitting and child sitting. But no popping. I'm not a fan of people popping. 😊

Valli
