:hello: I am still here!
Welcome to all newbies and hello to the returners - you'll like me (won't they Tag?:rolleyes: )

Of course all the newbies will like you Valli........until they realise about your peg, ironing, Ikea (sorry Mudbath:o) and stationery fetishes:rotfl: I think you and I must have been separated at birth. Nothing like a trip round Staples. :drool:

Just to explain to all newbies - Valli and I love to iron. Me 15 items at a time only :rolleyes:and Valli irons everything including dusters.:rolleyes: We both have a thing about peg ettiquette:rolleyes: Having said that someone on here, though I can't remember who, has a pink washing line AND pink pegs to match. Now it appears we also share a stationery passion too!! Along with several other flyladies I believe.;)

So to summarise we're all a bit bonkers BUT a very kind and friendly bonkers lot we are too!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Morning All

Well i haven't even started my list for today yet.....well for tomorrow either. Oppps

DD had playschool yesterday and ...well I don't really know what happened. I think that when I put the rubbish out yesterday I threw away my motivation too.

(((hugs)) to all of you that are getting bus due to school starting back. DS starts school next Monday and I am looking forward to it as I know that he will enjoy it.


Denise I am with Talk Talk and *mumofjusttwo runs and touches some wood* everything is alright with my internet connection. Hope it sorts itself out soon.

Morning all,
Living room not that bad (looks around and spots clutter...:o ). Hoovering, decluttering and clearing tops of tables being the priority.
Stairs -I feel I need a stiff drink before attacking these, but I will win!:D

Other bits:
- Need to do electoral roll registration thingie (thanks to someone who mentioned this on their list).
- Dishwash the pet bowls (yuck yuck)
- Do some more work on goal-setting
- Ask Pigpen how she uploads photos into replies (doh! surely I must know) - Pigpen help!

Oooooh 1000 posts.:T

Morning everyone. It's a damp and gloomy old day here at the moment. I hope it brightens up. I'm fed up of all this rubbish weather. Can't play with my pegs as often as I'd like to:D

The house is in remarkable shape at the moment. It's amazing how much difference a few weeks flying can make. It took me a couple of weeks to really get into the swing of it but hey once your addicted it makes life so much easier.;)

I just need to really get to grips with the decluttering now. You can't actually see it as it's all neatly put away, but as it's not used, it needs to go. So I'll try and make a concerted effort to really go to town on it. I should set up an Ebay account. Prehaps I'll look into that later. Might need a bit of help though as I find the Ebay thing a bit :eek:

Right enough waffling......off to find me list once again. Back later.

So I'm in the right place then...:rotfl: I think that is why I hate ironing - my Mum used to make us do our own ironing as a kid (good thing...) but she would iron everything too - including tights, bras, teatowels, pants, socks, towels, dusters, - basically if it was washed it was ironed - she's still the same and I have never known how she gets it so 'ironed' either - I can stand there spraying, steaming, etc all day and it still has those 'ironed in' creases (do you know what I mean?) but Mum, her's looks like it came all the way from a sweatshop in chinatown???? I don't get it, hence the ironing hate I think...
But the stationary love...:o I got a shiny new gel pen given to me yesterday with a logo and everything... Now, really must get some sleep and really must get back into a sleeping routine too - too many late nights and early mornings are not good for me as I only had 3 hours kip last night :eek: - see you in a couple of hours...(hopefully...)

Morning all :wave:

I've got a house of grumpy tetchy children here! :rolleyes: They're not back till thurs/fri so I've still got a couple of days to go.

Now I've caught up on the thread I'm going to go and kick *ss in a mo!

JUst realised that DD2 had still got shoes that fit from last term.... they just need a polish up and will look fine, she's really p*ssed off with me, cos I'm going to take her new ones back.... I should point out that she's had new boots and new trainers :eek: Tough knickers I say! :rotfl: :rotfl:

((((hugs)))) to all that need/want them, and ~~~~pats on back~~~~ for all who deserve them!

See you all later, and hopefully, I'll get some Flying done today!!
