Morning All

Johanne - hugs for you and your DH today.

I'm going straight to my parents for tea after work so I won't get anything done tonight - that'll be the same as the rest of the week then - but I did sort out the basket by the side of the chair last night and got rid of half of the stuff in it.

My knee is absolutely killing me - I don't know what I've done to it - it hasn't been like this since I was pregnant - unless I've put too much weight on!

Right I'm going to sort the kids out and possibly sort out the LR before I go to work.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Jue

Morning all.

It's really grey here today - the last two days have been full of glorious sunshine.

JulieJ - I have problems with one of my knees too. I had a fall on it a few years ago and think there must be some debris or something behind the kneecap. Every so often, it'll suddenly 'go' and be really painful when doing stairs and things. It'll be like that for exactly three days and then be fine again for a while. I've found taking glucosamine sulphate helps.

Johanne - I'm thinking of you and OH this morning - I hope all goes well

Right, my 'day off' today. Or at least a less active one I think. I shall potter and do easy sitting down jobs I think. I need to:

• Sort out make up box
• Sort out jewellery box
• Wash up from last night
• BM
• Empty DW
• Put more stuff up on ebay
• Hang out washing to dry (will have to be in the kitchen looking at the weather)

We'll see how long it takes me to get bored and start cracking on the hard stuff again!

Have a nice one ladies

Good Morning everyone. No work today, and lots of catching up to do! DS2 and I need to go birthday present shopping for SS2 which doesn't help. Quite dark and heavy clouds here so at least we wont be tempted into the garden when we get back.
Weight loss challenge - Well done to those who have lost weight and inches. I have now lost a total of 1 stone and 1 lb :j. I am going to carry on as ideally I would like to lose another 2 stone. The only minor negative is that I have dropped from a 16 to 14 and all my work trousers are too big .

Johanne - hope everything goes as well as it can today.
Soappie - have a rest today, defeats the point if you go back to work exhausted. Congrats on the new contract.

Right, time to put the bin out, feed the chickens and get DS1 ready for school.

Ikea - I want a few bits, little step up stool for DS for the sink but NO WAY I am going tomorrow - can you imagne??? We once went one Christmas sales as we were passing and you couldn't even get near the car park
