    I've just popped the blister as it was getting too sore and now I don't feel so good. I feel sick and dizzy :o Think I'm going to pass on the rest of the housework for now..._pale_

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Nicki - big hugs - When I bashed my finger with a mallet earlier in the year I could not beleive how much it hurt, it throbbed and throbbed, my blister was below the nail.

    I've been out in the garden, prunning and planting bits out in the veg bed - forgot to take DS1 cricket stuff down to school so good job the kitchen door was open and I heard the phone - done now.

    EEeeeeeeeeeeew just openned a bake in the box cake TMF which was just 2 weeks out of date and there was a moth thing and a mini worm thing in it - binned and will never get again - it was only for the school cake sale as it was TMF and thus free - they will be getting a letter!

    Going to do HHC in the master bedroom now and then a cuppa before school run. Must quickly chuck some water on the veg I planted out.

    Hi ladies, been at work this morning but have done a few jobs since I got in, swept and mopped lounge and dining room, dusted lounge and put a load of washing in and one in drier(as I still haven't sorted out a washing line!:o ) got to pick up dd1 from school in half hour so hoping to get hallway de-cluttered and hoover before then! I also need to sort out my finances this afternoon but it's giving me a headache and am trying to do a credit card shuffle as a lot of my % are about to go up!

    Afternoon all

    It has been quiet on here, hope you are all [STRIKE]enjoying the sun[/STRIKE] working your butts off ;)

    I took W for a physio appt to see if he needs any help with his fine/gross motor skills. Full assessment not complete yet as he as getting bored BUT so far it seems that they are not unduly concerned which is a big relief.

    As a result no flying done here today so far.

    :mad: on your behalf at that woman Kaz we should unleash SSL on her ;)

    Hope everyone else is well, hugs to one and all :)

    Ah didn't think of that - I squidged it and binned the lot. Never mind I'll be compaining none the less.

    Have not really got anywhere. Moved some toiletries from the wardrobe to the box under the bed and that is it.....AF has still not arrived and I want her been and on her way before Monday when we go to Centre Parcs.

    Going to see if there is anything on my list to do which does not take any effort.
