OK, seen the nurse. She recommends upping some meds, an OT and a mobility scooter. Boris might not want to play out so much then

And I have to plan to do fun things. Thing is I don't think DH wants to do what I'm planning

Oh, links, sorry

Your mission for todayis

I should really get dressed

Groucy You need to think about the long and short term I suppose. Sorry Boris is being a PITA

We were supposed to go swimming, but Mini asleep.

Crap night TBH, Maxi wet bed, Insomnia struck, mini coughing.

SO second load in the washer, dryer on.

I have sewed a bolster cushion for our bed, just need white ribbon to do more!

I'm here!
vowed not to come back till eve as posted my list last night.
TM - smears are over quickly, but not fun, had mine done in autumn tg. Treat yourself to something after.

Spent the morning doing piano, finding it so so hard to make headway -lesson at 2.30.
think hoovering may be the answer for 10 mins.
didn't even get to school library - finding it v. difficult to catch up with everything since ds went back - I miss him and our ranshackle existence together

TM - I need a nice prop up/reading cushion on our bed - bolster sounds the answer.

Grouchy - fun?? and what DID you have in mind - is dh not a funlover?
bb when hoovered

Afternoon all

Just off to school for afternoon volunteering

Have so far:-

Washing
Put washing in dryer
Wrote out notes for sign language tonight
took DD to Grandparents
Been to pick up parcels (typically not been sent to same place so lots of trailing around)

Need to do some more sign language stuff this afternoon, pick some shopping up on way home and then attack kitchen cos DH did tea last night and I think a bomb went off at about the same time

Scatty Swan and Tea My plan was/still is to go to the Snow Patrol gig at Wards Park Northen Ireland. So that's 3 tickets (Ed likes that 'lovely crashing cars song') 3 flights Belfast to Bangor and 2 nights B&B. I think/know we could do it but DH is reticent. I've gone overboard on SP recently and DH my cite one G Lightbody as the co-respondant He's suggesting a weekend 'somewhere' (double)

TO DO

Dress
Collect Ed
Take him to his swim class
Home and make lunches
Uniform ready

Nurse gave me a lot to think about. Small steps and just tools to manage Boris but big stuff to get your head around

Anyway enough about me, how are you lovely lot? I honestley couldn't cope without my FLY pals. Love and peace to all

Grouchy you are SP obsessed. i think you need therapy. I saw them in London before they were too famous (that's how cool I am LOL), I was pg with DS actually so it must be getting on for 6 years ago. They were good but not brilliant (mind, I have high standards when it comes to live bands, having seen lots of fabulous ones!) but are probably much better now. wouldn't travel to Northern Ireland to see them though!!! Therapy!

Tea hope you're coping with the day after bad night. Haven't managed the tape measure yet. It's cold! Hope smear bearable, after child birth nothing like that bothers me!

Scatty Book your smear test please! I have a horror story to do with a procrastinated smear test - i won't go into details but you need to get it done now and not delay!

swan hope your day is ok! My major achievment this morning was to get the radio out the loft and set it up in the kitchen - Radio 4 been on for hours and I have learnt loads and been thoroughly entertained.

Off to check cakes in oven, BBl, oh still have the stomach ache but no other symptoms!

Tea Waist 52 - 53 cm couldn't get her to stop breathing in! 31 cm waist to knee. Please don't feel like you have to!!
Just posted this on the wrong thread, oops!
Having my two best friends over for lunch tomorrow, very excited as I haven't seen either of them since before Xmas due to snow and illness. I have so missed them. Doing choc cake, lemon drizzle cake, scones and jam and fresh bread and cheese! Very unhealthy! LOL but just right for gossip.

Right DD wants a picnic of playfood better run.

LOL Ruby at your knowledge of the speculum lengths!
Just been very shouty. My parents turned up at 5.15 - they always come at teatime - why!!! just as DS home shattered from swim lesson, and DD shattered at the end of the day - and Dad tells me how badly behaved DS is!!! Grrr, and now DD is still in the bath and I wanted her to have a very early night again. Better go and get her in bed. Poor DS downstairs watching 'Walking with Dinos' DVD - DH at another governor meeting. Last week he was out 3 times through the week at basketball and governor stuff, this week three times also - it is getting on my nerves!!!

Sorry. See you all tomorrow.

Crikey Wendy is your DH really into the governors stuff, I am probably called out to a meeting once every few months or so and thats it

Well Done shopping and tea, school and washing that was on my list earlier, been to sign language and had a meeting re the changes due to missing the last two weeks cos of snow but it does mean we have a lot to get through each evening to catch up, at least my exam has been put back three weeks so that we have time to do the work but I've come home with loads to do and a headache from all the information I have had to absorb.

Going to write up some notes whilst I remember them then off to bed, gonna take some cold stuff as well as my head is all stuffy as the cold is beginning to take over.

BB tomorrow

Wednesday chaos here as usual

Done
piano lesson x 2
athletics dd
homework x 2 and even more tomorrow to catch up
Beavers
dd went to a pantomime with Brownies
red pepper and goat's cheese quiche made
food shop for week whilst ds2 at piano
loads of walking and dieting (not good for temper I can tell you)
made note of Irish flights for dh to book and get the cheaper ones before it's too late

kitchen is a mess at the moment - need to rationalise the wretched cupboards and open shelves again, they are silting up fast with odds and ends cups mixed with jam pots and teabags.
But not going to get distracted from CAR.
bedrooms and playroom fine though

enjoy your lunch tomorrow Wendy - glad Radio 4 has lent a magical glow to morning.
Ruby - dh has just been sent a letter absolving him of any further tax returns - yippee. He said it was my fault he ever got one in the first place.
