- being NEE rather than NEET, as I am still "in training", but it's my choice to do it
- I'd had a decent night's sleep and wasn't feeling ill or in pain
- enjoying the sunshine and fresh air: when the weather's grey, wet and cold it's a different story!
- DH's depression being less obvious when he is physically unwell, so that he doesn't bring me down with him
- it may look a lot when it's written down, but I have learnt on the Flylady thread that every little achievement is to be celebrated (and I tend not to post on the days when I achieve very little
(((Hugs))) and spoons to all in need today - but no sticks! We are all guilty of beating ourselves up unnecessarily: after all, we're only human xxx
ATB - I'm with Ionafan on this - you sound like you will drag yourself into the ground at this rate. Take care. X
Well done on getting the bulbs planted, Ionafan. Mine are still in their packets in the shed, and have been for 3 weeks. Every day I think that I will get there, something else crops up. Not least that we have spent the last couple of weeks building a greenhouse. I now have to figure out what I'm supposed to do in it / with it. I bought it with some money that my mum left me, so it will hopefully be a nice reminder of her, as she loved her garden.
I'm off to work shortly. Flying has been in short supply this week apart from the absolute basics. Definitely a Must Do Better report for me. I will throw the recycling out now and see what else I can do in 30 minutes. Probably not as much as I like to think I can.
I'll report back later...have a lovely day, all, and hugs and spoons as needed. X
So today is at home all morning, a couple of phone calls to make, cakes and lunch to be made, washing to be done and the bins go out tonight so I want to be sure they are full so need to go and sort out somewhere.
Am up and dressed, bed is made, so is coffee so better go and put WM on.
I think you all do so much, thanks for the examples it so motivating.
Hugs to all
Thank you for thinking of me; you're quite right, I need to take care of me as well as everything else. Woken up with horrid thrush as well (sorry TMI) so I will definitely be making an appointment. The lumps in my armpits are no longer painful but have hardened. Sure it is nothing to worry about but it needs sorting.
Washing went on the line first thing, another busy day.
Big hugs to all xx

I'm now trying to get my act into gear to do something useful. I whizzed the vacuum cleaner around the LR, bedroom, landing and stairs this morning. I think I need to put a few things into the loft which are cluttering the spare room. As fast as I get rid of a bag to the cs, another bag of (ahem) treasures seems to take its place.
Dentist now has me on waiting list for asap but not quite emergency!
Manager trying to sort out parking permit fiasco at uni, sent off appeal letter and no new fines in post today. Another assessment to write up.
Exciting news that our kitchen floor seems to have dried and both dw and wm now in their rightful places and functional.
ATB good plan to see doctor.
We're off to a concert in Islington now, likely to be the oldest there and I haven't been to a standing only gig for years.
jojo hope you feel better soon. Mr N now has injectable MTX!
I do have Bessie Spaniel coming in on 1st November for certain, though.
I stupidly did 2 hrs weeding in the front garden yest afternoon. Not the best idea, been in agony since. But the garden does look tidier..... :cool:
Me too (repotting and planting rather than wedding) - I ache all over today. Moving all the church chairs for the toddlers didn't help much
There's a beautiful sunset right in front of me as I sit at my desk: this is the one day in the year when the sun goes down exactly opposite my chair, in the gap between the trees and the old farm buildings opposite
Must get ready to go out for the first evening of my new course.
