    I have joined the flylady site, bought the book, started the folder...th whole nine yards....but I have yet to actually do ANY of the tasks:eek:

    So Pigpen, you are going to be my new flylady...you say jump, i'll ask "how high?". Hopefully the house will eventually gleam.:rolleyes:

    I have noticed tho, that you don;t mention 'shining your sink'. Does anybody actually do this?:confused:

    I'm in for this week - house is looking a bit better than it was but still needs more work. And I really must look at my stuff for school and do some planning :eek:

    I'm in for this week - house is looking a bit better than it was but still needs more work. And I really must look at my stuff for school and do some planning :eek:


    Ditto that - I'm in exactly the same situation!
    Hello everyone! been out Bootsing (ho! mumoffour77 - spent £10 on a top up got a No 7 and a till spit - and kept on..and on - but that's for another thread!)
    Then I went for a fancy coffee - free cos my loyalty card was full LOL:money: and have had a lovely, leisurely day. Went to Mums for teas with DS and DD cos dad's away and got hammered at RISK - that is one complicated board game!

    I'm going to be a VERY VERY GOOD VALLI this week - I promise. No runs!

    Lovely pic of Bo there Vanilla bet you're so pleased to have him home!

    Sorry NI flyladies - not having seen the news I didn't realise what awful weather you have had - hope you're all safe, and snug, and dry now.

    Welcome to the newbies, and the returners, and I hope this week gets off to a flying start (I kill myself:rotfl: )

    (And Dusty - (tho I might have this wrong it might not be your newly single son) 22 is WAAAY too young for me!)

    See you soon!:D
