Mudbath

hiya

well done hex that's fab. you must be so pleased!

i've only just thawed out. it's so cold out there and i couldn't put my coat on over my metal work so i had to freeze. it was only when i got to school that about ten people said they'd have bought my two home. oh well.

i've done 40 mins on the kinetic eye toy though i had to be a bit careful. m wrist has got a bit sore so it probably wasn't a good idea!

i made the chocolate orange muffins today - they are so, so, so, so good. thankyou so much for the recipe. have you ever tried to get the zest off an orange with one hand? xx

Thanks Lil_me will have a look tomorrow for piritons and oilatum.

Have looked up abit on the net so no bubble baths and go very easy on washing powder, did think it was that but changed it a few months ago.
He did get tested a while ago for being a celicak (sp) now i'm thinking maybe it's to do with his diet.

Right i'm away see ya later.:wave:

vanilla - my ds has eczema and has had it since birth. since we got rid of the carpets downstairs his eczema has really reduced. i'm not brave enough to put laminate upstairs though as i think it will be too noisy. hope he feels better soon xx

Vanilla - my DS has it quite bad as did DH when he was little, we've tired every cream known to man and at the min using a homapathic (sp??!!!!!) one and a basic Boots cream. Also Oilatum made DS worse so we bath him with about a tablespoon of table salt and its doing brill at the minute. Also I use less washing powder and white vingear instead of conditioner as it seems to remove any powder left and leave stuff soft. DS is bad at the minute due to the change in seasons - prehaps why your DS has started. Just what works for us.

Well done Hex on the weight loss!
Feeling completely poo, felt fine all morning went shopping and on the way home felt like death, spent all afternoon throwing up:eek: Then lay on the sofa like a whale:o Currently sipping sweet tea and nibbling a digestive as i'm starving, but stomach feels awful

Mudbath

GnB - hope you feel better.

2lb off your starting weight is good going. I haven't weighed that little since I was about 14 , even as a size 10 I was 10 stone plus, and no I am not seven foot tall. Now a 14/16 but technically obese, bones of lead me.

Went to top up the bird table from my wilkos quidco cup stash today and we have had little mouse visitors. I have sacked all three cats on the spot, and now need to find somewhere new to live as I hate mice. I know it is stupid and irrational, I just can't help it. Does anyone want a lodger till it is sorted?

Hi another update

Well cleaning has not gone too well today (opps) have cleaned bathroom from top to bottom, but not touched the *ahem* study/dumping ground . Have been popping in a doing short bursts tho as suggested by deniseNZ which is working a treat am now down to four bags left to sort and can actually see the floor :j(but not the desk yet)

Also have noticed how rude i am being on the board by just popping in and reporting what I have or have not done. This is due to the fact that I have three assignments due at college and this board really destracts me . So have been using the post and run method for motivation (and it is working well).

So sorry for being so rude and thanks for my fly lady motivation. Now if I could only use it for assignments :rolleyes:
