Hello everyone

I am mainly packing today as we are off for the weekend tomorrow.
Well...washing, packing and tidying...in the vague hope my Dh will keep it tidy while we are away

I might give the airing cupboard a go....obviously not to the standards of Martha! But I'd like to be able to open the door without having to catch all the falling piles of stuff quickly before it lands in a heap!

ludaloo · 08/03/2007 10:39

oh I forgot to add Tort good luck...will be thinking of you today

  • clean patio doors in kitchen done
  • clean downstairs windows ( just the inside ones - window cleaner here yesterday) done
  • downstairs loo done
  • quick tidy up of hall, living room and dining room (plus vacuum and dust) done

Hi laloop...Hi EHM*

I haven't done anything yet...decided to have a bath...just as I'm waiting for the water to run...a Migraine starts Fuzzy patch in the eye...I fely very dizzy...then barfed!! Good thing is though...I now don't actually seem to have the headache!!

Maybe being sick is the way to go!? I'm absolutely peed with them! This is the second one this week...it is not good. I have a vaguely fuzzy head...I have taken 3 Ibuprofen (Might be a slight OD but I'm past caring!)

Anyway I'mm off to eat some toast and get on with the washing...

Hello all.
Just a quick hi as DD's will be home from contact in a min.

I am feeling very tired this afternon and have a bit of a headache. i need to go to bed a bit earlier at night!!

Well it went ok with CARCASS woman i think. i think i might end up with a shared care arrangement but with both me and DS's dad having residency. Ive said that should be ok as long as im the main carer and they are here more than with him. They have the meeting tomorrow. Not sure if my sol will contact me after the meeting or not. i hope he does.

shouldbe Hope DD got through day at school and hope DS is feeling better.

Luda Hope you are feeling better now.
