    I'm sort of in; mainly decluttering Spaniel walkies this week, methinks. It was very wet walkies this morning - not that Lizzie cared. :o

    My head's a total shed right now, so will use an OpenOffice document to type then cut'n'paste, so if this makes no sense, that's why. It could actually be quite surreal, as I'm currently using the pc which is set up for Mr LW's preference; ie the mouse is set right-handed, so I keep clicking the wrong mouse button.:D

    Dancemum healing vibes heading for Dancepops.

    Dizzy Sometimes the coin lands just how we want it to. Well done on grabbing the bull by the horns. I hope to the gods things resolve themselves peacefully, you don't deserve this sort of heartache.

    Roundtuit the teacup Yorkie sounds fab; I'd be wanting to kidnap (?dognap) her.:o
    Btw, looks like you could use a new keyboard. I know the feeling, the comma doesn't work properly on my laptop; I have to keep tapping at it til finally it decides to work; and I'm a tad obsessive about punctuation, so a non-functioning comma causes me much distress. Ah, now I've read further on, I see you have a workaround. Excellent.

    Mademoiselle I too am f**ling to lose even an ounce of my excess lard. To make it worse, Mr LW has completely lost his "tummy" as he called it; to the extent that I don't want him losing any more, as being too thin is also not healthy. So I can't go the "we can lose weight together" route any more.

    Piggers large dose of anti-barf vibes heading in the general direction of your place.

    Ok, I have a hungry DH - it's tommy soup again tonight, as yet again I have a mouthful of ulcers (including a load under my top plate - big ouchy) so I need soft food. Lucky for me Mr LW loves HM tommy soup!
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    oh thank goodness it's not just me! What with disfunctional keyboards and w-i-d-e threads I was thinking of flinging this laptop! Against the wall ;)

    Hi all

    Using my tablet so this will be brief! Dizzy huge hugs my love. Let's hope this clears the air a bit. Its easy to lose that sense of working as a team when there is so much going on and this can cause a lot of friction.

    Pigpen you are amazing. There I have said it and I am not deleting it. I would be round to deal with sicky kids and help with laundry if I was nearby.

    Tired. Gym, paid stuff, shopping, paid stuff. Same old. DH has had to cancel work yet again because of the weather but at least he fed everyone!

    Evening everyone :D

    Well I don't know what was wrong with me today but from the time I got up this morning, 6.30am I didn't stop until about 1pm. It was really weird as I just wanted to clean..yep you all heard that right..lol

    So anyway I popped on Spotify, cranked up the sound and got cleaning :D Unfortunately DH was working from home so bless him, he had to shut his office door shut as he couldn't make phone calls due to the music being a wee bit loud...lol

    But the upshot of all this is I have a lovely clean kitchen, a very full recycling bin and a fair bit thrown away and tidied up :D It actually looks nice too..I'm quite proud of it :D Plus I was pottering around in the rest of the house too.. Good job too as my cleaner isn't coming till Wednesday now..:D At least she might have some cleaning to do otherwise she wouldn't have anything to do tomorrow..lol

    Feeling really pleased that there is only one thing on Monday's list to be done, and that is going to be done on Friday. And I've even done some of Tuesday's list too :D

    Going to iron DH's work shirts for the next couple of days, then grab some toast for tea, and the remainder of last night's homemade apple crumble for supper :D

    Hugs and spoons to everyone, hope you are all ok :)

    Lol.. I'm really not.. My house is all upside down and my life is in wiggles.. I have got the washing done.. but drying it is proving awkward... the rain here today has been non-stop and I have a monster gas bill so I daren't use the dryer (I know that runs on electric!.. but it is money still ).. My house looks like a laundry!

    But thank you.. One day I will be amazing.. for now I am content with no vomit for 8 hours!
