    Morning everyone, lovely and sunny here for a change.:D

    Plan today
    Get the front garden cut
    Fill in bathroom ceiling
    Fill in wall of utility room
    Pull skirting off in utility room
    Bake a birthday cake
    Spend some time in the garden
    Do some more off list.

    Me and Rhys are the only ones up so far, so i gonna look for a recipe for a basic cake. I don't want to fluff this up today.:rotfl:
    Thanks Toots hun, i'm getting there slowly. Very slowly.:rotfl:

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Mornin, all!
    As it's Bar Boot day today, I will be out and about. In the words of the Manic Street Preachers: Everything Must Go:D Bless my friends with cars!

    What was it with water pipes yesterday? The pumps at the bottom of our tower block had a strop and we didn't have much water on the floor where I live...:eek:

    Anyroad, good health, good vibes, excellent Fly-ing conditions for those that need them and a guilt free day for those having a break:)

    Good morning everyone :beer: Feeling a bit dopey still after my long night with the election :o

    Tooch - I don;t think that the voters turned away will make much difference ;) If the losing candidiates think that it would, they can apply to court for a re-run of the ballot. The court will only give permission for this if they believe that the result was so close that a rerun might give a different result.

    There's a thread here, if that's any help (I spent far too much time in DT the last couple of days, but it's now back to nonsense threads, so I'll be avoiding for now :cool: )

    Off to find a list ..............

    Triker - belated birthday wishes - glad you had a good time!

    The prom seemed to go well - DD2 looked stunning. When they got back she /I cooked pizza for them and they were no trouble.

    School sorted the prom and it lasted till 10.30 - now for the lot that came here that was enough....but for half the year it wasn't and they piled into a garden down the road and they were still rocking in the early hours!!!!!!

    That just made me feel old!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    Lack of sleep has finally caught up with me... I just couldn't drag myself out of bed at six this morning. so that's three and half hours I'm short to get stuff sorted before my dad gets here :(

    Never mind, I think I'll find some breakfast and then maybe I'll feel a bit more like getting on with things... oh... and I'll bung some washing in, as it'll clear the floor and make me feel I've achieved something :D
