    polkadot - pigpen always updates the first post in this thread with the next day's list. I hope you've reocvered from your tumble yesterday. I was so mad about you playdate standing you up - how rude!! My parents always made a big thing about never breaking a prior engagement except for real emergencies, and I've done the same with my children. I also agree about flylady changing the household - in my case, mostly the children, as OH isn't too bad - although a dreadful hoarder.

    greenbee - hope you're feeling loads better today.

    Must dash, off to drop DS1 at the station to go to Reading! I'm more nervous than he is! I'm sure he'll have a wonderful time.

    Morning ladies - I had the worst night's sleep last night - had terrible stomach ache (think MIL is trying to poison me - dinner at her's last night) and was tossing and turning all night.

    So, I'm going to have breakfast now, and need to wash my hair this morning, so will take my vinegar spray in with me to do the tiles whilst I'm in there, and set the pc to defragment too like a good multi-tasking flylady. Eau de vinegar isn't great, but OH isn't home to smell it, and it wears off.

    G&B hope your little one got off to her first day of school ok.

    Anyone up for a HHC 10-10.30? (newbies see first post for what a HHC is)

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Will be signing off for a wee bit now cos I'm off for my shower, and the defrag runs a lot quicker if I close down all other applications.

    See you all at 10 for the HHC.
