Morning all, not liking these lighter mornings. LO decided to get up at 5.50am:eek: Need to black out her windows i think:rolleyes:
Had first cuppa of the morning and feel almost human.
Does anyone know how to add someone to my Blocked Buyer List on Ebay I have his ID just cant work out how to do it.
Idiot emailed me this morning, saying if you are a fan why are you selling your tickets at such a high price to other fans? If you dont like the price, dont buy them, and thats what everyone else is selling them for! Just worried he's going to try and wreck my auction now:mad:

Morning,
I feel slightly more motivated this morning...only slightly, though...
Going to have coffee with a friend this afternoon and as tomorrow is a busy day, I think I may do the bathroom today and leave the master bedroom till tomorrow cause it doesn't take so long.
So my list for today:
clean bathroom
S&S kitchen
hoover
wash floors
WM
TD
fold clothes & put away
walk dog
tesco?
clean hoover

I think thats about it. I'm not managing any deep cleaning this week, but I'm hoping that next week we can do some sorting out/ decluttering/ DIY and then I'll feel a little more motivated!
We have the stuff to do at least half a dozen jobs, so I'd quite like it if we did some!

Good Morning ladies (and I say good!)

Been having a good think and given myself a talking too and have got to stop this mood, I know it'll develop into something worse if I allow it.

Thank you once again to everyone who has offered advice, sent me a hug or just thought about me! It means a lot to know there are people who care

Right enough of the group hugging LOL

JillD - thank you, your post hit the nail on the head, yes I can't even have a wee without him climbing on my knee. My gym is the council one so I can use the pools with LO but only does creche from 18 months but thats only a month away! I'm in Nottinghamshire

Louby-lou/Taffy - didn't find your post boring, very helpful and yes if I can push a baby out (WITHOUT PAIN RELIEF!!!!!!!) I can do anything! Just lovely to know I'm not the only who feels lonely, always think that everyone else is in their happy little groups and have loads of friends but thats not always the case.

I do try and go to playgroups, one this morning and swimming on a friday and did try a new one on a Teusday and it was lovely, only went once because its not on at the minute due to half term. Tried quite a few others and left for various reasons, kids fighting and parents sat there, being ignored for 4 weeks, people asking where I lived and then not talking to me, etc. I just find the whole chatting a playgroup to being friends hard, I once arranged to meet someone for playgroup and then she made it clear she didn't want to do it again but still makes a 'b-line' to talk to me.

I have little confidence to ask someone round or suggest a coffee but maybe they feel the same. Just don't really know how to go from meeting at playgroup to getting them to come round, feel bad for LO as hes only had the next door neighbours LO round once or twice, just worry hes not got any friends but is invited to loads of parties,etc - speaking of which we're aat a party for one of the neighbours kids in a week so will try and arrange a few playdates then as there is about 5 of them that will go itno the same school year, I like my neighbours and am even going away with them but most of them work.

Anyway, I'm seriously going round in circles here and confusing myself! I'm off to playgroup this morning and will really try and make an effort with people.

Going to ask my mum to look after LO on Saturday so me and DH can go shopping and have some lunch out and spend sometime together.

And try and arrange playdate with next door - right all sounds like a plan!

Thanks about the funeral too, I'm sure it'll go okay, sad I'm sure but it'll be okay, the chap was very poorly for a long time and hes actually being amazingly brave and organised the whole thing before he was too ill. Also the sun is shining here so thats something.

Thanks again my lovelies xxx

Good morning. i got most of list done yesterday and i'm going to do my best to get todays done. last sunday i won an item that has to be collected, the seller has still not been in touch with me about picking it up , i'm paying for it when i pick it up as well, think i will email them again today and if i don't get a reply i will tell them i don't it. i phoned my dad last night (he lives in gran canaria), he had to have an emegency op a couple of weeks ago to have half of his stomach removed and then when he was allowed home he got rushed back in 10 hours later because the stitches burst, he didn't sound very good, i'm going to see about going over after the easter hols and see him for a week or 2, his sister has gone over to help look after him.

Extra to do list

pigpen would love some of your energy. I think the more you expend the more you have available to you.

LOL.. I wish!!

I had everything necessary done by 8pm last night so was in bed for 9.. just laid there playing sudoku.. I still didn't go to sleep until after midnight!!!

I always have at least 15 minutes 'wind down' in bed before I sleep then I have about 6-7 hours if I am lucky and am fortunate enough that that is all I need.. I aren't that full of energy.. and by 8pm tonight I may well wish I was!!!

When I was pregnant I slept for half an hour after the school run just to be able to stay alive!!!!

I hope today is an easy one for you!!

Morning ladies

And what a lovely morning it is here - sun shining through the windows that I got gleaming yesterday. And I'm at home and not in the office. There's a nice breeze as well. Trouble is, I don't think there's much washing left - I did most of it yesterday. I shall have to see if I can find some more - maybe the throws from the settees.

Hope the funeral is a fitting tribute today TracyG
Best of luck with your op today Mudbath
Fallenangel - hope your Dad recovers soon
JillD - how are you feeling this morning?

Right, I've bathed and washed my hair and caught up with the goss so it's time I got dressed and decided what to do with my day.
