    Embb and Serena - I've found some motivation for you in the dusty corners of my loft - it's coming your way.

    Stuff all down, labels located so I'm going to do it in true flylady style half an hour at a time as it is all a bit daunting.

  • Hi Mudders I'm going to have friends over, nothing spectacular, just a chilled, relaxed evening. I figured if I start talking about 'a party' I'll get all stressed out, and not enjoy myself. So this way, I'm just having mates over, no pressure, we'll probably scoff some nice chilli, and drink some lovely wine. :D:D:D

    mOZzy I love Jamie's cook books. I've been thinking about getting this new one, you'll have to let us know what it's like? ;)

    DustyK was it you who mentioned your friend who's 40th is next friday too??

    Have absolutely no idea why the list is so low of strikes, although the past couple of days all I have done really is sleep, watch t.v. and just generally look at the housework rather than doing it. All my motivation has disappeared.. :( I'm still in my dressing gown, sitting here with the cat purring on her cushion behind me (very soothing it is too). I have had my breakfast but just realised haven't had any medication yet..oops!!
