    I've been really good and been comparing all the savings/account rates I have on my list. One decision made. One needs a little more investigating and then on to the others.

    Off to bed now so night flyladies

    Pigpen - You sound amazing!!! Everything you do and your attitude towards everything and you still have time to help us try and get a little more organisation in our lives with this thread, plus lend us your ear and offer us endless advice. I wish I could be like you. I worry far too much about what people think and about hurting other people's feelings. I wish I has the gutts to just up and leave when in-laws start. And thank you, it really helps to know there are people there to talk to.

    **throws bucket of water over pigpen** cooooeeeeee you're getting soppy again, snap out of it :rotfl:

    But I agree with what Pigpen says, you're all wonderful people who I am proud to call my friends (however weird it seems saying that) Pigpen and Michelle were both super girls when I couldn't fit in the Flylady thread for various reasons as Pigpen is doing now.

    Club was quiet tonight, I didn't really want to be there so probably was a little snappy. Rains started here and I'd left DSs sheet on the line so was a throw in the drier job.

    List a mile long tomorrow, very important meeting tomorrow trying to offer use of the club to a group which offers activities to children with disabilities, been through the access routes etc tonight so all that's in my head ready for the meeting. Must get some studying done, sorry to the sun lovers but I am hoping for more cloudy skies so I can study without cooking and maybe find the disc if I can cope with moving stuff around in there. It's still very warm here so I best make sure everythings unplugged incase of storms.

    Right I need chocolate cake then sleep, in that order, goodnight everyone x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all.

    I'm feeling quite bright this morning - think I've finally caught up with sleep from the weekend. Just trying to contemplate what to wear for work. It's not scheduled to be so hot today.

    Though I'm confused with the flying list. It seems we have today off? I'm ignoring the fact we have two Tuesdays - today is Wednesday and there's nothing FOR Wednesday :D
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    You're certainly and inspiration. If it wasn't for you, and our fellow Flyers, I certainly wouldn't have acheived as much as I have this week. Thank you! You must have been tired when you posted todays, or was it the vodkas, as it's Tuesday again :D Conufused my bleary eyes when I looked. :)

    Going to have a coffee and mull over todays fly.

    Kids slept through last night, btw, I hope that everyone else who had problem nights on Monday had better nights last night
