    Ok, puppy is sleeping so i'm going to get up and do some flying of sorts.

    I'm in a dilemna. I've got someone wanting to book treatments for next week but at the moment i've spread everyone out so spotty pup isn't alone for more than an hour and half. Do I pop another client in or risk telling her she'll have to wait two weeks and hope I don't lose her? Actually, writing it down has solved my dilemna. She'll have to wait as I wouldn't do a good treatment as i'd be worried about spotty pup. I'll phone her back now. Time to stop waffling and get some cleaning done! xx

    Wooden pegs are good for the sole!!!!

    And if you lose them in the garden they biodegrade! All wooden pegs match if they're the same style - dolly or spring you know...

    Valli - whats HHP????

    pegs & ironing - sorry try not to do either, however did catch myself looking at what colours of pegs i was using when i hung the washing out yesterday didnt match them up but it did go through the mind.....

    Toots is 2/3 or 67% correct there - planning or preparation (I am a teacher...) I DO NOT play!;)
    not if I can help it!!!!!!nannybooboo.gifnannybooboo.gif

    And you cheeky mare - i have defragged at least twice yest - I am trying to get all my blue bits back together so I always do it more than once!!!

    You're on the slippery slope there hun...matching your blue bits...it'll be pegs one day, it will!

    Stairs and landing vacuumed and dusted.
    Lunch eaten - pots washed
    More washing pegged out, some washing brought in.
    Some ironed stuff put away.
    Now I need to add 'Mend DS's school trousers' to the list - he has torn the stitching just below the fly IYKWIM so that's a must do.
    Councillor phoned.
    Getting there...

    Thanks Flower - look I can do it!

    bake ginger hobnobs

    I am so tired today. I keep wanting to cry. I have been up late a few nights now talking to my best friend in America who only has a few months left. He is in hospital and in between visits from his family he logs on and, well, I guess maybe I support him. I do my best to make him laugh and he loves hearing my voice.... Sorry, rambling here. To keep on topic, I am tired and feel like a very lazy flylady!

    I am determined to bake the hobnobs today... I have all the dried ingredients weighed out, but it has just sat on the side for days. *shakes her head*

    Anyway, I haven't caught up on the thread though I know there is a gorgeous dalmation puppy somewhere rulling the roost as only dogs (and cats) can!

    Hugs to all and hope you all have a good day flying!

    Pigpen I have done all of OH office - the room I do 3 times a year - I have been very good - not sure how he is going to feel about the fact that he now has one rather large hotspot by the door!

    Need to go and collect DS2's guitar and wrap a friends birthday present - back after school run.
