Natty68

Had a rude awakening at 5.30am this morning by Dave telling me the dog had had an accident downstairs. So there I was at 5.45 this morning cleaning my living room carpet and chair with stardrops and vinegar (obviously not together..lol). I suppose the good thing is that I could lay my hands on these products straightaway in my bleary state.

So now I have a section of my carpet absolutely soaked with a vinegar solution, and kitchen towel padded ontop of it,with a teatowel hiding it. I suppose I had better add a boil wash of teatowels to my list today..lol Oh and I have a very sheepish Bear laying on the sofa..poor lamb thinks he is going to get told off. Still it wasn't his fault, he was asking but whimpering in his pathetic way he does and D was in the shower so couldn't really get to him and of course I was fast asleep..lol

So as I am up and about I suppose I had better get myself into gear, at least if I get everything done now I can doze later if necessary.

So off I go to strip the bed and put the boil wash on..

*Hugs* to everyone this early morning.

Morning Natty68 and anyone else who is up.

Have got to go to Norfolkk today for my Nana's funeral. Dh is having DS and DD and i come back tomorrow so I hope that they don't play up too much.

can't remember the last time I drove for 2 hours, normally DH does it but we decided it was too much for the too little ones.

Hugs mof2 - hope all goes well and the drive isn't too difficult for you.

It is another forum site. You have answered my question. :rotfl:

:rotfl: Are we allowed to talk about other sites that we frequent? I've been badly scarred by the control freaks moderators from my old days of iVillage and Handbag!

Morning all DS2 has gone back to school - I think he should have stayed home but he wanted to go.

Not a great day so far, had a row with OH before he went to work. Finger so stiff I can't bend it.

Hairdresser due soon to trim my mop. I'll plan my day once he has gone.

Mum coming over later so will need to change my mood or she'll assume I have the hump with her.

Morning Ladies

I am still about just not much at the moment. I do keep checking in, trying to get up todate with the thread but there is soo much chatting! I have limited myself everyday on the puter as I was on here all the time and not really doing much. Been a bit depressed as well. Mixture of things, too fat, can't stop eating, work V boring, housework getting me down, not doing enough with my wonderful daughters, etc, etc, etc.

I am now pulling my finger out of my a!*$e and sorting myself out. I try to do too much all at the same time, so accomplish nothing!!

I have joined the make a new challedge a week thread and thats going good. After a long chat with one of my friends I realised that I have been so obsessed by food for most of my life, always thought I was fat but looking back I wasn't. I need to look at food as something my body needs rather than something to make me feel better, which as I'm sure alot of you will agree it doesn't.

Anyway, I think I have gone on long enough.
I am doing level 1 each day and any extra is a bonus.
I have been making lunch each day this week so that is stopping me going to MrT's everyday and buying 'goodies'.
I have been making an effort to do more with my girls, me and DD1 started on her castle project (I really am carp at making things) and she is really enjoying this. Also took her to McD for tea on Wed and to Next to buy her some new clothes, which she picked.
DD1 off to friends after school so will take DD2 to McD's and Next - her turn!

Right, now I'm going to try to catch up with this weeks thread a bit and will be back later on.

Hope everyone is ok.
