    Thanks for joining me Lil_me - DS1 room done - yey only other 2 to go - doing one a day as it is easier. Going to do a HHC in the garden where I did not finish yesterday.

    OH has started jet washing - he likes doing it and DS3 on the swing. DS1 at the golf course and DS2 been told to get dressed and get some fresh air - like a little house elf that one.

    Good afternoon,

    It is a lovely sunny day here today so I have managed to get three loads of washing hung out. I think it is the first time this year.

    Sorry to hear about all your trouble with OHs, :grouphug: It must be the time of year or something like that. Mine is no better either, seems to want to spend the entire weekend watching sport on TV.

    lil_me, I just wouldn't go there at all but the idea of the uniform is tempting :rotfl:A very old friend of mine kept phoning and e mailing and it just wound DH up so much that I had to break the friendship. There was nothing going on but, he was a friend and he is missed as a friend. And we've been married 24 years on 18th!! I think if I was going to do something it would have been long ago.

    Weekend list.. I had already scrubbed the window ledges in the conservatory and sorted out all my plant pots for seed sowing, before I switched PC on today so that's my weekend job sorted.:j

    I am off on Monday for three days to try a new treatment regime so won't be around much til possible Thursday, then maybe I can become a proper flylady.

    Back again and done absolutely zilch apart from a bit of me time soaking in the bath reading a book. Book was about parenting so does that count as me time :confused: . It looks glorious out so just wondering whether I should get out with DD but I do have a throbbing head.

    Glad you feeling better Dusty and lilme just treat it as flattery if you're happy where you're at. A very good male friend once told me that a bloke is never interested in just having a female as a friend - I gradually tailed off the friendship as I think he must have been trying to say something.

    Hope everyones OH's behaving today - mine is he's gone to bed so is out from under my feet till tea time :rotfl:

    See ya later when I probably still wont have done anything, but then as our current leader doesnt seem to be around cracking the whip ......:D

    poohbear my fingers are crossed for you that the treatment goes well, thanks for the advice, my partner has been unfaithful in the past several times and I find it makes him much more paranoid, probably thinks I am out for revenge or wonders why I can resist unlike him. Truth is I don't think I could be bothered! I can see me possibly having to cut contact, he'll likely be online tonight and will see what I think from there, scariest part is he's only minutes away from where I live now and works in the area, was easier when he was a fair distance away.

    Kaz, mines out aswell, blissful, but like Dusty I'm going to try to get the kids outside, get rid of some energy. What about taking your DD somewhere that you can relax while she plays :) I like play areas and parks for just that, I can watch and encourage without overdoing it when I don't feel 100%

    Poobear's reminded me I have some carrot seeds to plant, so maybe the boys can do some of those. Do you put yours on the conservatory ledges in the propergatory things poohbear? I bought a window ledge size one to try that thinking it might help them grow. Can you tell I am not really green fingered :o but I did have some success last year with a load of alpine strawberry plants which has encouraged me.

    I'm actually having quite a productive days so far considering it took me a while to get motivated. Right time to get those boys dressed (sure ones still in it's jimjams) and throw them out.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I finally got a decent shop done today without the oldies, even though I had to take DD with me, I managed to spend another £66! Ouch! The freezer is nearly full though and there is plenty of choice for teas.

    I'm afraid I have virtually given up cooking from scratch as DB won't eat so many things, he doesn't eat cheese, meat on the bone, only chicken breast, not legs or wings, he won't eat rice and doesn't like too much pasta, he's not keen on curry either. Our diet has become very bland and boring!! I also have to cook separately for the kids as he usually doesn't get in until 7 but then he does cook for us two when he gets home.

    I also got the points added to my card from the times I had forgotten my card and put petrol in my car so that's another two jobs ticked off my list for today.

    Hi

    Haven't done anything so far today - went back to bed this morning when DH got up so didn't get up until 11.30.

    Think I'll make a start and do something - anyone up for a HHC 3 - 3.30?
