Morning

I have decided I need todo some proper FLYing, and have looked at the mission and Zone to get me started.

No lists yet, though.

Swan....should I be on the fledgling thread again?

I am going to go and do my morning jobs then come back and reward myself with 15 mins computer time.

hello all
just checking in
Shoe shop today
swan no way can I get the home bless done in less than two hours either. Sweeping and mopping floors takes me forever. Think perhaps if our houses were as clutter free as they are supposed to be?!!

MC sounds like the gym staff have been helpful, hope it starts to work. you have done lots today!
swan you have done lots too!
star so much exercise, I am
dyls nice to see you, you are very productive too!
Hi jas! what's happening with book club?

Dd just in shower. Swapped her shoes no probs, lady was a different one and very nice. Expensive shoes though normally (were in sale at £20 so ok)
Been to MIL for tea - SIL birthday. It is official that SIL and husband have split up. I had a long chat with her last night where she was unusually frank, he has told her he doesn't love her any more and . Like she says, what can she say to that. He has moved out but their finances are very and they house in both names etc with high mortgage but zero equity.
Very complicated. She had some good laughs though tonight at the children and is enjoying having time to play with them I think.

No swimming for me today, had earache, but did walk into town to library and health food shop for more yoghurt mix for yoghurt maker (am addicted it is yummy). Need to do more exercise.
BBL DD getting out of shower.

wendyhappysmile · 01/03/2010 19:02

Simply and Ruby hi didn't see you first time!! hope you're chilling by now

dylsmum1998 · 01/03/2010 20:36

MC good the gym ar ehelping with your injury

Wendy sounds very complicated for SIL

have done everything off my list except the ironing. car needs levelling (whatever that means) so i couldn't pick it up today, need to collect it at around 8 am in the morning, so should still make it to my appointments on time in the morning.
dd is very worn out as we have done lots of walking today and she was up last night with her cough. she didnt wan ther dinner and asked to go to bed. she is coughin a lot, have given her another pillow to try and help. she hd a massive coughing fit a little while ago and is very flushed and warm feeling, but don't know if that is from the coughing fit or signs of something else. will keep an eye on her tonight and see how she goes.

Am now trying to sort out my applications for my gtp, but don't have any envelopes big enough to fit the papers in, so need to buy those tomorrow and get them all posted off.

am off to relax for a bit now as i am very tired and have a headache, so will also get an early night.

night everyone

Makingchanges · 01/03/2010 22:08
