You have been poorly for a while now haven't you...take it easy, and take some drugs! (my dad never takes anything when he is ill, and wonders why he suffers so much...I on the other hand keep dosed up and find it really does help)

Morning all.
((( Hugs ))) Shouldbe. Hope things get better soon. MSN is on all day if you need to chat/moan.

Had to go to town before breakfast because ran out of milk and bread.

Lovely and sunny here so 1st load of washing is on the line.!!

Will do the mission in a minute.
Need to sort DD2's cot too. I forgot to put her pull up on last night. Soaking wet sheets at 4am.Ooops!

Luda...I have been battling this on and off since November 2006! It will pass but ill health is no respecter of a 3.6 yr old or a family home!

I'm relying on the fact it will pass on and leave me in peace for a few months. I take as many drugs as I dare to but as this is a life long thing. I don't want to keep upping my meds at this stage.

Basically, I go at life like a bull at a gate. I daren't stop for too long as I'm worried I won't start again.

This weekend I've had a water infection, a snotty cold and I spent 4 hrs traipsing round the Railway Museum in York, so fatigue. I'm paying for it now! But it was worth it to see DS's face when he realised he was stood in front of Mallard...he went up and kissed her and gave her a hug.

Sorry, you didn't ask for my life history TMI really! You just passed on your best and I'll gladly accept.

I've also done
Empty DW
Put away
Sew Name tape into ds's new (to him) coat
Sort through drying washing
Replace with wet washing to dry
Load and run TD.

Off to collect Ds from nursery now. See you later.

Oh and thanks for your concern

Hi all, just stopping for a breather

satin poor cat! Hope it is ok

GO Aww thats a long time to be ill! Hopefully it will subside soon. I kind of get the impression you are a vibrant, get up and go type person, your lists are always very good, and your phrases you come out with make me picture you as a happy, humerous type (they make me smile a lot)
Well lets hope you don't stop! Its nice having you around

yadda your airing cupboard sounds very impressive! I'd love a Martha type cupboard!! I never can quite get all the folding techniques though

tort good luck with the report!!!! my fingers are crossed xx


Well I have more washing to hang (roll on thursday!)
Better go
