Good Morning DeniseNZ

I have done all my ironing (1 duster and 3 tea towels)
I have cleared bits and bobs
Notice no one has posted for Flyladay meet so here's a nudge

Flylady Meet Sunday 26th October 2008 Softplay near Meadowhall Sheffield (exact details to be confirmed)

AnW'sMum + Miss A (8) and Mr W (5)
Valli + DD (12) would like to declare an interest BUT this is dependant on DS's football (Sunday afternoon) have now found out it's a home game so it's possible
Michelle, DH, and Charlie (2), Sam (5 months) - we are definites.



SupergirlSS must say my mum is brilliant - but being medical she just never did sympathy and has raised 3 stoic daughters...I would have gone under without her support. Her and dad are fantastic...she sent him round with bread and butter pudding today...my favourite and I am supposed to be slimming - but DD and Ds love it too..
Glad you're all feekling better
Brill about 10th pos Lil_me

I couldn't take my bra off because
a) I topple over... I need these puppies scaffolded in place! and..
b) painful breast syndrome! .... I thought everyone had sore boobies until they diagnosed me!!! :rolleyes:

Mudbath

Welcome to all the newbies and a big apology for not saying hello before. I'm off to bed now....shattered! DH has said he'll let puppy out later. She's snoring after her five walks today. She's also had an identity chip...the needle was huge but she didn't notice. Don't know who's more tired...me, her or old pup! Oooooh and they curled up together earlier! Night all xx

I'm loving this. So far I have found my favourite lipstick that has been missing for aaages and an Easter card from my mum with a £20 note inside it.
(I did tell you I had been hiding paperwork for a long time.):rolleyes:

Brilliant, well done, I wish I could find £20 quid...

Well the best laid plans and all that... went to start on the kitchen floor when hubby rang - he will be home early and can I go get dinner - then DS didn't get my prescription so I had to dash down there for that or I wouldn't have any puffers for the weekend (always worse when I know I haven't got any, must be psycological I suppose? ), Q'd up in the KFC for 40 mins so totally missed my mini HH to finish the kitchen, starting on the front room and watching H&A and only just got my prescription, so have eaten dinner and am now pooped again, so will have to get some get-up-and-go so I can finish it... (after Eastenders obviously ...) Anyone want to give me a Kick? (don't all volunteer at once...:rotfl: )

Have been to the bottle bank - utility room is now tidier:p
Went to Tesc0... which I hate... and now I know why. I have restocked on FULL bottles as they've got some decent stuff on offer, bought lots of cheap DVDs, a few books, some fruit juice and not much else, and spent FAR too much money. It took me ages, as I kept reading the ingredients on food/cosmetics/toiletries/cleaning products and then deciding that there was no way I could buy them with all those chemicals in!

Whereas last week I went to the farm shop and village shop and got more than enough for the week for £20.

Toots - you're right, I need to get my act together. I'm off to see a friend and her 4-week old daughter tomorrow. They're about an hour away, so I'll probably be out for most of the day.

Flower - maybe you don't need a kick, just some sleep! I'm contemplating going to bed early and trying again tomorrow rather than forcing myself to keep going when I'm this tired.

I have, however, worked out what I need to do about my mortgage, and have an appointment on Friday to go and do the paperwork. Let's hope they don't put the rates up AGAIN between now and then!

I'm giving up and going to bed. I've had some food, put the shopping away, and come to the conclusion that the reason I can't be bothered to do anything is because I'm tired.

Hopefully I'll wake up refreshed bright and early and make some inroads into the backlog.

And at least I'm not the first... Mudbath's obviously been playing with Poppy too much and worn herself out!

Valli - can't you come down and iron my work clothes? It would make much more sense than ironing your dusters and tea towels!

SupergirlSS - I'm with you on the bra thing... I don't have painful boobs, but if they don't have support I find myself holding my arm underneath them to hold them up! And its a really good reason for never going running... there is no sports bra on the planet that can hold mine so securely they don't move (TBH, I don't think I'm built for running anyway - God would have given me long legs and a flat chest if I was supposed to move quickly )

Toots - I'll post my list in the morning... (I'm just trying to work out if I can sneakily swap mine for yours, as there's loads more left on mine).

Pigpen - I know we should all be on top of the paperwork on our desks, but for some reason, people will insist on sending us more of it! If we can work out how to stop it then we'll really be making progress :rolleyes:
