    Great to see you Mumof2. Hope things look up for you soon.

    Morning everyone. I can move a little easier today which is good because I will be busy with the cake competition. My cake is a little dry, so no points for me there.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Thanks both of you; I hope things look up too but in the big scheme of things we're doing OK.

    Dropped S off at school now will put a load in the WM and am off riding to blow away those cobwebs. I'll do some housework when I get back .... promise!

    Jazee, have you hurt yourself somehow?

    Morning all,
    Will mostly be doing 'dry' flying today as the water company have phoned to apologise for the lack of water which will hopefully be back by 1!
    So first job of the day is to go and buy water as the hound had what was left in the kettle and DD had the remains in the water filter, not even a drop to be had out of the taps. Oh, after I've defrosted the car as it snowed here last night too!

    Morning,

    Just trying to reprint a couple of pages of my assignment (glad I proofread!) and of course now the black ink has run out... Have refilled, including dousing my thumb in ink (:o) and now trying again. Lol.

    Beyond that, I intend to completely empty my desk today, clean, and only replace what is needed.

    Then I will start on my dusty house.

    Brought piggies indoors yesterday Eve as was sooooo cold in the night. Think boy piggie has another lump. I wonder if he's just a lumpy one? He doesn't seem bothered. Might call vets anyway. Was nice having them inside, although I don't miss the smell :rotfl:

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Yes, I put my back out a week ago so have been feeling really sorry for myself!

    This morning I have taken the dogs for a longish walk (with an ice pack on my back) but feel so much better for it. Need to get moving now, so much to do and a deadline to meet.

    Ducky - hope you get water soon.

    Welcome to returning Flyfriends and newbies.
    Great news about your DH, Natty!
    Sticks for all black dogs, posivibes to all job hunters and GWS vibes to all who are otherwise under the weather.
    Congratulations to your DD, GI :T
    Well done on your 3.5 lb, Valli :T but I gained 0.5 lb this week without trying :mad:

    Yesterday afternoon I planted seeds and the sun is shining this morning, but it is bloomin' cold!

    I was relieved yesterday to discover that I don't have to do any reading prep for today, so still catching up on other things. Received a long (for him) email from my DS1 this morning which needed an immediate reply - he is currently doing the work of two people in an already demanding job. We didn't even get to see them over the Easter hols, and they only live 15 min drive from us :(

    My list for today:
    - finish writing a thankyou card
    - email DD
    - hone DSiL
    - find/buy and send wedding card
    - put away aired washing
    - S&S bathroom and ensuite
    - dusteronnastick round LR and DR
    - persuade DH to hoover downstairs floors
    - QHI
    - turn up new blue jeans so that I can wear them this evening
    - sort books and papers for this evening
    - skim read 2 thick books which I can't renew because they have been reserved by other people (I've had them since the end of last term :o) - I might have to put another reservation on them for next week if they're any good
    - go to college
    - transfer holiday photos from phone to PC
    - write overdue German email

    Lots more paperwork to be done this week. I'm taking DH to the horsepiddle for a blood test and hip xray first thing tomorrow morning, then I'm out on placement for the rest of the day. Also volunteering all day on BH Monday, so I need to get ahead with college work before the weekend. Trying to get at least an hour outside in the garden every day (snow forecast permitting) as it relaxes me.

    (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round x

    Desperately trying to catch up and I've run out of time but need some Flylady Help!

    I had my ears pierced last week :eek: and I've been swabbing them with salty water as instructed but the right one is a teensy bit reddish and slightly sensitive to the touch today. Can anyone suggest anything other than just swabbing it more frequently, or is that all I need to do at this stage?
    Better is good enough.
