    Hi everyone, and hugs to anyone who needs or wants one. Lots of positive thoughts and special hugs coming your way, Lilo. Been there, done that and sympathise greatly!

    DD's appointment went OK, took biopsies and scrapes and will let her know the results, but she has to go back in six months.

    Before I went, I:
    • emptied the dishwasher, and did one load of washing, which I had time to hang up (trying to cut down on TD use!!!)
    • fed four dogs and two cats
    • made my bed
    • SS bathroom and shower room
    Since I came back:
    • done some sorting of paperwork in study (before DS' lessons this pm)
    • cleaned bathroom windows
    • more washing
    And fitted in a coffee break, lunch and catching up on here! :T
    DS going on PC to do lessons, so I'm going to do a bit more in my utility room, make Banana Bread (Thanks for the recipe) and prepare sausage casserole for dinner.

    Then DS and I are off to the gym. I;m still coughing and he's not at all well, but we thought we'd go to the steam room and hydrotherapy for a while, then pick up hubby, home for dinner and feet up time. :T

    Will anyone be up for a HHC 230 till 3? Think I need a push. Also, how do I get black shoe polish off my wood work surface in the kitchen? It just won't come off!

    Pink fairy - glad your daughter's appointment went well. Hugs to her.

    Now, I got that one - Half Hour Challenge? But what's a DP? I've got a DH, a DD and a DS, and even, if I'm really sad, a DW1, DW2, a DK1, a DK2 and DFP1, and DFP2!!!:rotfl:

    Damn I was hoping it was code for a cup of coffee. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Half hour is too much for me I'm afraid.

    Are those all code for members of your family Pink Fairy?

    Lol.

    I think a DP is a darling / dear partner - I could be wrong though...it might mean a dingy panda...you never know!

  • Greetings flyladies - woohoo the rain's stopped

    Lilo - so disappointed for you and DH (((hugs))) and thinking of you both

    Poor Jill - no wonder you're stressed out with your sleep that disrupted

    Lil_me - how do you cope? I hate remaking the bed once a week - its a wonder you and your WM don't fall apart from exhaustion

    Congrats embb on the new job - another flylady putting her skills to great use

    pigpen - def ebay the bookcase and order your book set again - boohoo about the nail - not faring too well this week are they?

    Way to go serena action-smiley-033.gif- keep up good work on garage

    Mudbath - you must be puffed out after your walkathon today - have a bikkie :D

    Sorry, I can't remember the name of the lovely lady whose DD1 is just out of hospital but (((hugs))) anyway - a double bonus when she's well and you don't have to sclep round to hospital loads

    Did my HHE outside today as it wasn't raining - took the long way to the doctors then carried on for a mooch round the village shops and a natter - note to self remember to take the Bravissimo catalogue to the card shop tomorrow as promised. Might still go on my crosstrainer later if i've finished my list

    Anyone up for a HHC at 4pm?

    LG
