I wish I had taken a before and after picture now!

Mudbath

hello
i am in such a good mood today which is amazing considering how weepy and pathetic i was. i have heating, i have heating, i have heating, i have heating!!!!! :T :T :T :T

Ok, i'll breath now....

anw'smum - i love that poem, it's nice to be reminded of it.
jill - hugs to you. it's horrid when it all gets to you and for me it always seems something quite small that is the thing that sends me over the top. take some time for yourself and that's an order!
pigpen - how do you do 3am in the morning and then children. i'm to old for all that now!

seems there's a few of us who are 40 years young this year.

how would any of you feel if your daughter came home from junior school with a personal invitation from another child to what is effectivally a recruitment meeting for johovis witnesses (sp?). i went into school to say i wasn't happy with this to be told 'oh yes, we said she could give them to teachers but not children but really it's just their equivilent to having a party'. i have no problem with people being any religion they want, they can believe in pink elephants with purple spots if they want, i just don't like it being pushed on my daughter. last year this same child told my daughter she'd go to hell if she didn't join the jw's so it's not the first time. rant over.

instead of doing the list i'm just going to right a list of what i manage;

- walk dog
- dry clothes for 10 mins and hang
- put dry clothes away
- move electric heater back to clinic
- put second lot clothes in dryer for ten mins and hang
- washing mashine load
- sorted out stock from business i sold last year
- sorted out recycling
- put groceries away

will do some more in a bit xx

just hung clothes up and stupidly tried to open the clips on one of those trouser hangers with my bad hand...ouch...ouch ...ouch xxx

Mudbath

oh nearly forgot - jill, thanks for the plastic bag and hair bobble tip...i'll try that tonight because I'VE GOT HOT WATER AND HEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx

CLeaned microwave and the junk around, on top, behind, under it as well. It was my Hot Spot.

Going down to a friends house at 4pm, DH is bringing her PC down from the loft, then we are back here for her to get her broadband and I'm making spag bol for dinner. So another Flulady will soonbe added to the ranks as she has been using the lists I printed off for her. :T

Afternoon,

Well I've been to the bank to pay in a cheque for Income Support which they sent me :rolleyes: Got £20 out while I was there to cover this weeks shopping (just fresh fruit at the most I think ) and an "adventure" on Saturday with some friends from a forum I'm a member off. I want to go around to the school and pop in to see the office staff and that before the end of school to ask a couple of questions about some voluntary work with the year 6 kids or even younger just to give me something to do during the day :rotfl:

While I was out I popped into the library as well to have a look at some of their "teacher" books - picked up 6 and one is entitled "Getting the Bug*ers to behave" :rotfl::rotfl: so that should give me plenty to do over the next few weeks

Right, best double check that there's nothing else I need to post.... oh pooed CC letter... *printer on*
