How do I find an NHS one ?

Jill, check this out

http://www.feetforlife.org/ I think you just need to stick your postcode in. My health centre has GP, Dentist, Physio, Counselling and Chiropody. Does yours?

Eek, I'm so not flying this week it's scarey.... but I did do a major effort last Friday in my defence as we had guests for the w/e.

This is a very important thing to learn.. many big clever daddies struggle with this job.. even our daddy.. so if you can do this.. you are cleverer than him![/STRIKE] - she's done it twice today, and practised her catching skills with dry washing!
4. If you are a bigger little person could you wipe over the fronts of the kitchen cupboards and fridge/freezer/washing machine.. sometimes you need to check the insides too as they get a bit sticky..

Study or other reception room & bathrooms - Tuesday
Level One
Clear the clutter from all these rooms!!

• Make certain ALL the house clocks are saying the right time.. replace any batteries that need replacing!
• I think the children who have been most helpful today should decide what you are having for dinner.. and that doesn't mean a takeaway.. we will consider that for the weekend if you are doing a fabulous job!!! Maybe if they are big enough they can help or better still cook for you!!

Childrens list.

1. Sort out all the shoes.. make sure there are 2 of them all and put them nicely on the shelf or in the box. Encourage the person who has the most to get rid of a few pairs they never wear!
2. Oh.. I think you'll like this.. everyone gets a carrier bag.. and spends 5 mintues running all over the house putting rubbish in it.. not other peoples things just rubbish, scrappy papers, junk mail, used envelopes and things like that.. after 5 minutes we weigh all the bags and see who has the heaviest bag. The winner gets a treat (and so does everyone else!)
3. Pick up all your own things from the front room and put them away in their homes
4. Water any plants in the house.. I always forget so this is my childrens job usually.
5. If you are a bigger little person could you vacuum the floors once they are clear of stuff?

Oh so much otherstuff, but sinking rather than flying this week, will carry on attempting to tread water ... yawn

Evening all

That was a long HHC!!! Spent over an hour sorting paperwork. I thought it would only take about 10 mins :eek:

My eating has been a disgrace this week. I've had a chippie, a Chinese and a chicken kebab. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hippy110

Just lost the long post updating my list - will do again tomorrow when there will be even more to cross off.

So far this week, has been random items crossed off but will make more progress tomorrow. OH gone away today for work for at least 4 weeks and I want him to notice the difference when he returns. Usually just get moaned at for all the mess regardless of any improvements. Spare room is becoming my workplace as the office was so cluttered - have to get this sorted. Too ashamed to take photos let alone post them.

Here's to tomorrow ....

ChasingButterflies

Marmalde made - so I have 2 types to give to dad when we meet up tomorrow.

10 listings ready to go (thanks for the heads up lil_me & Pigpen) couple more to do before I turn 'puter off - just popped over to give brain a break!

DH hoovered the lounge and I cleared the stairs and shoe cupboard so some bits off Wednesdays list even if I haven't finished Mondays yet :rotfl:

Mudbath - really pleased to hear everything seems to be ok - well no more damage done (hugs)

hmmm hungry again - off to find something, night x

soappie

Morning all

Mudbath - glad nothing seems to have upset the healing process.

:cool: Buster will be awake shortly - which is more than I can say for myself - I'm still dog tired. :cool:

Off to bathe, dress, make sandwiches and go to work. I really need to fly when I get in this evening

Have a good one ladies

morning.

Been up since 6am.. awake since 5.. OH come round last night at silly oclock cos i felt sick - told him not to that i was ok but he insisted. I was worried he'd oversleep as hes exhausted! So my bodyclock woke me up at 5:15 the time he usually gets up (it didnt factor in he is using FILs car atm not public transport so can afford a lie in) Glad i woke up though, i asked what he was having for lunch... his reply was a pack of 8p noodles!! Hes mega skint at the mo and cant afford anything So i got up and made him a packed lunch of butties, crisps and few biscuits! Felt like a real mum! :rotfl:

No flying yesterday just lots of running round. Went out at about midday to get few bits from shops including new trainers for me as ive ruined my current ones from wearing them virtually every day for last 6 months Planned on being out 2 hours...Finally got home at gone 9pm as FIL took turn for the worse and so we had to go to OHs mums and then the hospital. By evening visit he seemed a bit better though although is on 100% oxygen. I officially hate MIL though... i know shes stressed but she really upset me yesterday with some very hurtful comments whilst OH was out the room.. Cant tell him though as hes got enough to deal with.. suffice to say all sympathy i had for the witch has vanished.

Hugs Johanne - hope FIL is feeling better soon and try to ignore MIL - easier said than done I know! If you were running around all day yesterday, try and take it a bit easier today and spend at least some of the day with your feet up!
