    Thanks for the get well messages, feeling rather guilty as it's totally self inflicted apart from the cold on top, but yes Crafty, I drink maybe 2-4 times a year and it takes that, plus more and I wasn't that drunk :o It's quite mad really.

    Let that be a lesson to you - drink more often then you'll be used to it

    Thank you Honey Bear
  • I am wanting to get involved but I'm going to need some motivation and support as cleaning and being organised is not my forte!

    I tried last week and failed miserably after two days! But i love the idea so rather than snooping I thought I'd make myself aware to you all then I can't skive off!

    I had a busy day today - weekly shop, 3 washes and took the dogs out on a lovely walk - on top of a couple hours work. So only just did level one! LAME!

    But tomorrow, despite having work, gym and another few run about errands I am determined to do a few more of mondays and tuesdays (not all of them mind!) too!

    I will report back with my achievements tomorrow! Don't let me get away with skiving please!
    I miss using my infinite coupons at Tesco!

    Welcome! :T C'mon then Heatherbelle - make a list and post it then we can support. S'my first time and the Flyladies have made me so welcome I have been really spurred on to get lots done. I would think that the trick is to write a list that is challenging but achievable - therefore motivational.
    I have been spurred on to do a job that has been on my 'metaphorical, obviously' to do list for 4 years (but only in summer LOL)

    Morning all and welcome new people.

    Slept better last night so I have no excuse not to go into work. We had a bit of rain overnight but no thunderstorms. But, it's cooler - yesterday really was too hot for me. The dog can stay at home today though - the office will probably be too hot for her.

    I see today is kitchen day - that'll be quite easy - my kitchen isn't too bad :D

    Have a good one ladies
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Morning All

    DH has now disappeared until Thursday night so I should be able to get more done in the evening when the kids are in bed.

    I need to get at least some of the ironing done today so I can do the packing. DH hasn't sorted any of his stuff out so I'll have to do it.

    Lil-me - definitely get yourself off in the caravan - you know you'll be fine.

    DD is having her haircut @ 3.30 today and I'm having mine cut in the morning @ 10.30.

    I'll do a list in a bit but I think I'll go and put the WM on a hot wash and do some ironing.

    :hello: Good morning everyone.
    I'm bathed (shower broken grrr!), hair washed & dried, shoes (well flip flops because I don't wear slippers in summer) on.
    Washer emptied. Will have breakfast and then I'm ready to go.
    See you later.
