I am really enjoying my course. Algebra and calculus are probably my best modules, statistics and accounting are less enjoyable but still ok:D

Barking mad imho but glad you are enjoying it. Stats are lovely - the only bit of advanced maths I was any good at - loathed calculus. It just doesn't make any logical sense.


Happy Birthday Sarahshattered!

:hello: to emily and beccah

Hollyh - hugs for you. When I feel like that I do 15 minutes on each room in turn. usually makes enough of a difference for me to feel better.

Very little done as DS2 decided to spend half the night being sick - the third time he has been off school in his first seven weeks. Combined with DS1 putting a garden fork through his welly and slicing his big toe open earlier in the week, and the large bruise on his cheek where he fell off someone elses trampoline a few weeks ago - how long till social services come calling?

The WM is on full of small boy bedding. I am making a suprise candlelit dinner for DH - he has had a long week with lots of travel. Might help if I tidy the DR enough to actually eat in first though.

Getting a bit fed up of people having a go at Martin ala Icesave thingy. Feel like summoning up a charge of the flylady brigade to see the nasty trolls off.

We could find places to put matching pegs on the trolls:rotfl:

Well done on the weight loss

I am such a bad mother - DD has come down in tears - the tooth fairy didn't visit last night! I've persuaded her that it's because Daddy hadn't seen the tooth and the tooth fairy knew he'd want to see it before she took it away!

This made me laugh, she has failed to visit here because, the fan was on and she didn't want to get caught in it; it was comic releif day and she was giving all the money to chairty and that she was frightened of the cat being upstairs:rotfl:

Lilhut I spent 3 months living in Glenelgg (sp) end of the tran line from Adelaide to the coast - it was fun

Soappie - I'm so excited one of the certificates has arrived so expect an email over the weekend

Rach hope hubbie is feeling more positive later

Polly I'm impressed you'd peeled your spuds before 9:11

Not quite caught up yet but it is nearly school run time so another cuppa and catchup when I get back.

Mudbath

Hiya
Still no flying but three walks and two clients. I'm off for school run with about 6 coming home for tea. I'll read them the riot act and then get on with flying whilst they all play nicely giving me no bother at all - yeah right but I can dream.

Welcome to the new people joining the thread. Just start at level one and do what you can. It does start to make a difference and quite quickly.

I'm off to give puppy cuddles as she feels neglected judging by the hound dog look she's giving me! Speak soon, hugs to all xx

This weeks MACAW (Make a Change a Week challenge... ) Basically you choose one thing you would like to change about your lifestyle, your habits or whatever you fancy and incorporate it into a new way of life.. anything from cooking one meal a week from scratch, learning a new skill, shining your sink every day, reducing your alcohol consumption, doing some exercise.. whatever you fancy! This is only for those who WANT to participate and being run alongside flylady rather than being part of it.

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............try and keep on top of my lists this week, and have a proper cooked meal each night instead of a takeaway - [strike]MON, TUE, WED, THUR, FRI,[/strike] SAT, SUN.

Holly, I'm having that tonight, I love it, got to go out in a bit though to get some spuds as only 2 left...

Have hit a bit of a plateau now, feeling a bit tired and as we will be out till about 2am I MIGHT go shopping and then have a little snooze... mmmm, bet I don't get a chance to do that!;)
