    :wave:Hi, just popped in to say hello.
    Todays list

    [strike]Clean downstairs bathroom[/strike]
    WM-3 loads-DH
    Clean and tidy spare room for guest arriving later today
    Clean mould off windows in spare room

    The kitchen floor is now covered in screed. The tiles that were delivered were not square so have had to go back. Kitchen floor is now going to be tiled next Monday. I have a fridge and microwave in dining part of kitchen, kitchen table and chairs in the hall plus all DHs building gear/ tools, sheets of plaster board etc. in the hall. The hall walls are also really mouldy too. I will send a photo of my hall sometime if I can find out how to do it. You would all be horrified. It is much worse than pigpen's middle room was before she cleared it. Also the kids old playroom is a total dumping ground too.

    Thanks for the hugs I did need them I was crying into the keyboard. Feel a bit better today but because of the FMS neck and jaw are sooo much more painful than the extraction hole or where I had the stitches in my mouth.

    My new years resolution is to clear playroom and maybe make it into another sitting room or study/spare room.

    I have guest arriving at 11.30 so will read all your posts later when I get five minutes peace. Right must go and do the bedroom as I only have 15 minutes left. I am trying not to panic.

    Oooooh where abouts are you spooky? I've been looking for a job for a while but wasn't sure what - this seems perfect - only downside I can see is it's not set hours - will muck up any benefits WT credits I'll get, but no biggie really.

    (((((((((((Poohbear)))))))))))) I hate to think of you crying into your keyboard :( It's horrid having work done in your house and is very stressful, just think of how gorgeous it will be when it's finished. x

    Thanks JJ x

    Kays delivery just been - it was super quick. Managed to bag another present that littley didn't get at xmas a This is Me doll so that's for her Birthday off Teenie it was a fiver! :eek: :j

    Morning all

    Hope you feel better soon Poohbear, sounds horrid :(

    Blowing a gale here and raining hard, miserable. Two loads of washing done, including throws from the living room, and draped round indoors.

    I've cleaned the sink, toilet and bath and I'm going up to do the floors in a minute. I vacuumed them yesterday so I just need to wave a wet cloth at them. Did the windows in there yesterday too.

    PC desk is in the hall so that was done the other day (Tuesday? I have no idea what day it is since Christmas).

    I haven't been sleeping well lately, lots of vivid dreams so that I feel exhausted when I get up. I get home from work about 9.30pm and I feel shattered but when I go to bed it's hard to get to sleep. I must stay up tonight, ER is back!

    Thank you so much for the photos kaz and pigpen. Made me laugh and feel better about myself. I get depressed because my house feels muddly but it's all relative :D

    I've about stopped shaking enough to go collect Tiddles now.. I hate it when that happens.. we have a family problem of 'borderline diabetic' basically we are producing JUST enough insulin to stop us from actually being classed as diabetic.. but not enough to stop us getting most of the primary symptoms.

    Back in a bit.. :D

    (((((hugs)))))) Polly.. it'll all be sorted soon... don't cry.. it makes us sad too
