Oh dear me, another fun filled evening on the flylady thread! Pigpen - your forbearance with the paint disasters is awesome!

Boddy - big hugs to you and hoping you are able to manage the stress

Have done some flying this evening. Have watched some TV. Have had a couple of glasses of wine.

Am about to go to bed.

Night night all...here's hoping you all sleep deeply and well and without interruptions.

Pigpen a pal of mine started her menopause at 33 - who had her second babe - and that was it - the 'shop' was shut. Good job you had your family when you did!

Evening ladies, hope you've all been good for mrs pigpen (or hiding it well ) Got back this afternoon, bit of a damp (long) weekend but survived. I think if nothing this will get me fitter, swimming every day (twice if the kids get their own way) then double the amount of dog walks (they're shattered) because I can't just 'let them in the garden for a wee' it must be doing me some good. However this week the good was slightly undone by me having a few too many alcofrolic drinks on Monday DP had arrived after me having the boys on my own for a few days so I 'let my hair down'.

Anyway, we're home now, have a large pile of laundry to do and DS1 back to school tomorrow. I somehow have lost the new shoes I bought the kids for school, luckily DS1 still fits into his old ones which I have cleaned up.

Tomorrow will be laundry catch up, doing some much needed studying and then going with my friend for her little boys first major scan since his heart op, please keep your fingers crossed for us that it's an all clear for little Matthew! She's really worried especially as he's been having chest problems etc lately so needed someone with her and her partners boss refused him the day off, why are employers so ignorant when it's something so important?

**clambers back down off soapbox**

Right, I'm half way through catching up from 5 days worth of emails, 494 to go...on one addy, hopefully my USB dingley thing will arrive before I go back away on Friday so I don't have such a backlog to clear.....ttfn

Today I did nothing ... we had the scary director coming round at work observing what we do so I didn't sleep at all last night :eek: Luckily he wasn't so scary but then got home late had the mother in law for tea and now there is no evening left!! Will have to go flying crazy tomorrow night :j

Can she change the consultant? When I was pregnant with DD I refused to have the consultant asigned to me because he's the one who'd come up to me when I was recovering from an operation at 18 and said 'you'll never have children...next' as he moved on to the next bed. Two children later and not a turkey baster in sight i'm guessing he was wrong?!?! Is she happy with her consultant? Can she change? xx

Hasty Post as just realised it's getting late.

Came home with migraine yesterday so never turned pc on, and tonight I was very late home, then a committee meeting, so didn't sit down till 9. I've given up with the "Thanks" button as it's keeps deciding not to work, but scanning through posts!

Mumoffour- huge hugs to you and yours, so glad you're all OK and extra big hug to your very brave DD!

Got to get to bed as I'm shattered, but hugs to anyone who needs/wants one, :hello: and welcome to any Newbies
