    Back to the important stuff has the RF appeared yet?

    Nope, all is quiet on the northern front. Rest assured ladies, you'll be the first to know if it does make an appearance.

    Just added a few comments to your list Michelle!

    My Jobs - all light i promise:
    1) wash hair and have a bath - take as long as you like - have a soak and rest your back
    2) declutter magazines in rack by sitting and reading some - that sounds okay
    3) deal with a pile of stuff that needs shredding - not too strenuous
    4) email my work colleague - nothing that involves making you more work
    5) mark my books/or coursework or something like that so i have made a start. - 30 mins tops!
    6) peel some veg for dinner later - okay
    7) deal with post - can cope with that

    Morning all;)

    Soappie - hope Op RF is going well - I'm with PinkFairy - I can get a set of hubby's cams and hide in the bushes! Although I think DD1's bright pink binos may give me away:rotfl:

    My living room was looking almost normal yesterday until we went shopping for a dining table and came home with one that's too big for the kitchen but fits in the living room fine (it seats 6!). So there's bits of boxes, packing and all my furniture is moved! Just great that DH went back to work today :mad:

    Hopeing he is going to get his leave that he asked for as my mam and dad are arriving on Friday night and my house looks like a blooming tip!!!:eek:


    Oh sod it, I'll get my mum to help me - she loves housework :rotfl:

    Hope you are all having a good day, am off to do some more flying in the kitchen and get all my recycling and cardboard in the garage:rolleyes:

  • ***Am i on the right thread???***

    Have you lot been drinking your stardrops instead of cleaning with them??
    Operation ORF sounds good though(and i have a gillie suit too;) )

    Jill i think it was asking about my dairy freeness, i have not had a single bit if dairy, not feeling a huge benefit yet because i think i have subconciously replaced it with sugar so need to stop that!

    I will do some flying...

    Will post a list in a minute, was a lazy mare yesterday:o

    cha97michelle- well done on trying to take it easy. Make sure that list for your OH has all the small jobs onn that need doing- great to have an excuse and [STRIKE]get[/STRIKE] ask OH to do it.


    Soappie GO...GO...GO for operation ORF.:rotfl: :rotfl:


    JillD BIG hugs



    Well haven't been at my best the last couple of days, feeling soory for myself and crying alot. Got annoyed at the kids because I couldn't really tidy the living room because they were there. Way too much shouting from me :nono:. To make matters worse DH (bless him) phoned up his mum abnd asked if she could take the kids for a little while this week to give me a break as I am stressed. Just what I want my MIL thinking I can't cope. Idon't know what is wrong with me at the moment. Think having the 2 little peeps at home isn't helping.

    DH has taken money out of the account to get me something for valentine but TBH we really don't have the money for t so wish he hadn't/ Had a go at him this morning and now feel bad about that. My mum has even asked me if I want to go to lunch with her and she never does that.

    *mumofjusttwo sighs*

    anyway guess i should stop moaning-for once, and get of my backside and start doing something. Did nothing yesterday.

  • Morning nutcases - sounds like you were all on the cooking sherry last nightlaughing-smiley-014.gif and I missed it - damn

    Am stuck in at home again today, waiting for the council guy to come and inspect the windows so that I can get my FENSA certificate - the only timescale they can give me is "between 10 and 4" - no s**t sherlock, that really narrows down the field...........and the local highways agency have started retarmacing the access cul-de-sac outside the house with no warning so it's a good job I don't need to go out in the car as I'm blocked in (tho not with a Fi-art - any sign yet soappie - that's a bloomin cheek, I'd let their tyres down)

    Did the whole of my list yesterday angel-smiley-002.gif
