    Welcome home soappie and LG :D

    Wow, I got out of the school run this morning because DP has to take someone to the airport (pleased she's going as she causes nothing but agro) pleased he has as DS1s taxi was late so DS2 would have been as he doesn't usually get out of bed. I'm getting ready to go to the dentist, I go into Durham once or twice a year so going to pop into a few places while I am there, hoping Julian Graves is still open....may aswell as it's about £2 to park for 0-2 hours so will use the 2.

    Right, must empty the swimming stuff from the washer and set the next load off before I go, TTFN :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    gosh TAG - your daily list is as long as my weekly one :eek:

    It does seem rather long doesn't it. But believe it or not, after a few weeks on here, I whizz through my normal dailies in about 30 to 45 mins, sometimes an hour. That excludes walking the dog and the ironing BTW;) (oops sorry greenbee I mentioned the 'I' word:p)

    This thread makes an amazing difference to your house and therefore your life as well in a very short space of time. Baby steps to start with. Don't push yourself to hard and you'll be flying along in no time at all.;)

    HHC anyone 9.30 - 10.00?

    Morning :wave:

    I'm late in but I'm here :) welcome to all the newbies and returnees :D

    It's lovely out there in the sun this morning, W is fine this morning and they have both walked all the way to school. We used to cheat and drove to M&Ds and then walk the last bit. But we are trying to do the right thing, just need to be a bit more organised in the morning.

    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 league and/or whether Grandma would step in and do the 'cheering on' honours.) At the moment am unable to find out whether a game is scheduled for this date...
    Michelle, DH, and Charlie (2), Sam (5 months) - we are definites. Can't believe i just got DH to say he would come too, and he will watch Charlie play so i can natter in peace!!!! Yay!!!! I've assured him that none of you are weird (or at least not any weirder than i am, which must have been some reassurance :rotfl: )
    Juliejim, poss DH, DD (6) and DS (5)!


    Kazmeister and poss DD(9) would like to declare an interest

    Oooooooh Soappie - welcome back!!!! Hope things are ok and it's great to see you posting again xx

    Pigpen - hugs to you .... then, when you're not expecting it i'll slap you round the head with a smelly kipper! Seriously, listen to your own lists and do something for you!!!

    Tooti - i'd personally recommend the little one man bands for treatments. I've always found the service is more personal. Hope you find somewhere good soon as you can't beat looking foward to a treatment.

    I've got a poorly littlie at home.....bad stomach ache and feeling sick. Not sure he's going to be sick but sometimes a day off is all they need to keep them going till half term. He's sat on the sofa with puppy dog keeping him company. She loves him being off!!!

    I'll do my list through the day but i'd better find it first!! Hugs to the poorlies and to those needing or wanting a hug xx
