Remember there are three stages in a woman's life... horses, hormones & horticulture... sadly I seem to be moving from stage 2 to 3... (although I have tried to avoid mowing the grass for most of this year!).Dyou know I have no clue but I was under the impression (you've spoiled it now) that you were 28! And the video made no difference to that!
Hello Christmas Shopper - don't mind me!
And (Thanks Dorothy Parker) remember
You can take a horticulture...
...but you can't make her think!
I'm not doing the hormone joke!!!
G'night flymates...blessings on you all...sweetest dreams....
You have all gone mad while I've been away - or is it I have begun to become sane again? (mmmm, not sure, will have to check there...)
Horses?, I get the second and third levels, but the 1st? and it took me several times to read hor-t-culture to get that, doh!:rotfl: :rotfl:sorry, brain really not working yet, give me till later today to get back into flylady mode...LBM April 2013 - £29,000.00Vanquis CC's PAID - Debenhams SC PAID - A+L OD PAID - Asda CC £783.75Barclaycard CC £1400.78 - BoS CC PAID - Freemans Cat PAIDF/D Loan & CC £1458.96 - Santander Loan PAID - Mum Loan PAIDRBS OD PAID - F/D OD £1026.52Weekly Grocery Challenge - £95.00 budget / spend £-0 -

Morning folks
Clean up again this morning, I just don't understand how so many bits can get on the kitchen floor and it need sweeping at least 3 time each day........
This weekend I am home alone and just with 2 cats so I will be able to test the theory it is not them or me making the bits.!!
When they all get back on Monday evening, I will know who to issue kitchen floor sweeping duties to!!
Going to have a major flying session Saturday morning, as I have been lazy all week, and there will be no one in my way!!

Morning all, no uni today as i have no afterschool care for LO, may pop in on my way to work though as i need to print some stuff off.
Took LO to school and when we arrived headmaster was standing outside and directing us all through the side gate as the front gates of the school and surrounding area was covered in police tape! School opens right onto a large park and apparently someone has been raped:( Loads of police officers/cars about. Hope they get who did it, everyone was quite shaken by it.
Currently on hold to the student loan company, have been on hold for 17 mins so far:eek: May go and start my ironing, while i wait for them to answer:rolleyes:The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0
