    Electrical problems are the worst, especially if it involves water ingress. It wasnt water ingress was it Lou?

    What the bloomin hex is water ingress?????

    Now why do I suddenly feel as though this is a blonde woman trap type of question?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I'd be quite happy to swap it for something, I seem to be getting through books at an alarming rate at the moment! I'll let you know when I get home tonight :)

    Great! Let me know and I'll get up in the loft at the weekend. :j

    Yes and while you're at it, you'll need
    1) A long stand
    2) a bag of chicken lips
    3) tartan paint
    4) a glass hammer

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Must be your age!

    or maybe you've developed an intolerance to something.

    I think it may be full fat milk. On that subject I would love to have a small cold glass bottle of silver topped milk with all that cream at the top. Was it Thatcher who stopped that???

    Just remember that last time you had visitors you cleaned like a maddie and they wrecked the place in 5 minutes!!!

    Beside if you've been 'flying' this week surely everywhere is sparkly clean?;)

    not quite so much to do this time. It had been left a:o :o:o time before my other sister and niece visited! :eek: Just hoovered, will sweep floors and then clean bathroom, might give a quick dust in the living room (might). She might be here before I get back from work tomorrow. I also need to pop to supermarket for a handful of bits. Other than me and my Mum, everyone else in my family is very allergic to pork _pale_ and because it's cheap and quite low fat, I usually have a 'pork heavy' freezer.

    Unfortunately, work has got in the way of being a flylady goddess :rolleyes:
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
