hiya
just for the record....broken wrists and pmt don't mix. i've done very little of my list and have been so frustrated. tried to vacuum but i can't press the release button and pull the hose thing at the same time so that was a non starter. washed bed stuff and am waiting for dh to put it back on the bed as there's no chance of me doing it only the radiator fell off the wall so he's trying to sort that out. managed a hot spot, listening to readers and filling the bird feeders. cleaned up bits and pieces.

i've got an appointment at 745 in the morning at fracture clinic...what sort of time is that? i've got to have xrays and take it from there. i hope they change the cast so i can have a scratch but doubt that they will. off to add to my list will i'll put on my first post this thread and do what i can.

hugs to all xx

g&b - :eek: :eek: at your fish water BTW I keep calling you bunsandganjos in my head :rotfl:
tia - swallowing a fish :rotfl:
This place is full of nutters!!!!

jjef - take it easy and hope you feel better soon

kaz - must have missed a few posts - so sorry for your loss, glad today went as well as these things can and ((hugs)) to you and your family
penpen - you evil mother sending your offspring out in the downpours :rotfl:
SAV3R - my dentist went private for kids a couple of years ago. I agree, its disgusting, He charges £10 for the kids who are 4 and 3, well she was 2 when we last went, refused to even open her mouth and we still got charged a tenner. Thing is as a dentist he is a very nice gentle calm man and has a nice way with the little ones, I grew up terrified of the dentist and dont want mine to feel like that ... so I don't want to change and shell out the exorbitant fees :mad:

vanilla - bless your DD's heart (((hugs)))
soappie - thats impressive savigs since Jan :beer:

michelle - cant believe your coworkers expect you to stay late on a Friday night when you have days to go before maternity leave. sorry but thats really thoughless of them. Fingers crossed DS over the worst though. Reading your posts brings allo the exhaustion of the summer back to me and makes me feel tired just reading!
Oh and WOO HOO I really hope it is your last day tomorrow :j :j

I just discovered flylady thanks to thi site. is fantastic. Thnaakyou all.
I've started by cleaning the sink then doing the chuck out 27 things.

tracy don't get me started on the IL's neither of them ever learnt to drive. When we moved in here in 1999 they asked which buses came by. They have a stop outside their house and the closest one to us is 150yds away, how many times have they caught the bus.......................... yup you guessed it you don't need any fingers to count on at all :mad: The phones generally work in one direction only. In that respect nothing has changed at all since DH died, I do make the effort but I hate to be pushed into a corner and I don't like the routine of having to go on a set day as the one time I have to break that arrangement there will be so much hassle. Plus due to DH's shifts we never had a regular routine and I prefer to keep things that way.

Ooops didn't mean to rant and I must sound like a right moo of a DIL but to a certain extent it is how I/we always felt.

zarazara

can anyon explain the level stuff? eg is level 1 when you begon or is thtonce a week and level 2 once a month or sometihng/

mudbath hope all goes well tomorrow
Welcome zarazara, just start on level one each day and see how you get on. Some super high flyers manage to do level three a lot. I usually manage just level one or two.

Mudbath

zarazara - us lazy people only do level one and the people who are good do all levels. No, only joking. you do whatever you can. see if you can manage level 1, if you have time do level 2 etc. we get shouted out by pigpen whatever so don't try to please her. welcome to the thread xx

serena - thanks for thinking of me Yes I am feeling heaps better thanks. LO sleeping through (although she didnt last night so am a bit stressing about tonight now .....) and the extra sleep helps no end. Upped my dose of tables so I guess that helps and LO doing a bit better with daytime sleeps so I can get more done. On the down side DS has started wetting himself again, thought we had that one cracked, guess he has other ideas .......

Dusty - I regularly have rows whilst cleaning the kitchen , kitchen cleaning is so autopilot I could discuss world economics whilst doing it ( er maybe not)

pigpen - glad crufts was good. smoke hater here (sorry lil_me and others! Note its the smoking I hate not the smokers. well unless they smoke near me of course). Was brought up by parents smoking about 80 a day between them (where on earth did they even find the time )and I hated it. Very happy the ban is in place though I wish they had extended it to make it so pubs and restaurants werent allowed to have it on the premises at all including garden space etc. As lil_me says the smokers gravitate to the outdoor areas - in the winter I think er why would you want to go outside you loon, but in the summer it means we avoid sitting outside cos you get all choked up. I do love it now though that you go out and you come home smelling the same and not like some old ashtray LOL

oh yeah and similar to the ash flicking incident, in Jan, when LO was 4 months, a complete brainless moron knocked a massive quilty coat off a rack and it landed on her in the buggy, totally covering her. She seriously would hae been smothered except DD1 noticed and started crying saying "oohh I dont like that" bless her. I was looking at the coats at the other end of the rack thats why I didnt notice :rolleyes:

AnW's Mum - well done being the better person withthe MIL. MIL's eh. Nuff said.I would have had that galss of wine but am about to go to bed. Can I hold it in reserve til tomorrow :beer: <- pretend those are wine glasses not beermugs LOL
