    Don't do casualty, but do the rest... sad really eh! Also love Bones, Stargate Atlantis and the new one Fringe is pretty good too (no wonder I don't get any flying done... :o ) Never got into Lost or prison break tho???

    gosh, we are watching at the same times denise :rotfl:
    bones tick! stargate atlantis tick! fringe tick!

    how do we ever get anything done :confused: :rolleyes:

    I know, TV seems to be the only excape now... sad really, I need to get out more I think, but David Boreanas just drags me back...

    Glad your MIL has left, I couldn't handle mine for that long, love her to bits but I think it would be REALLY hard work... luckily for me she only lives 7 miles away so would always go home...

    The video is mad, quite mad, (mmm, no wonder valli and tag like it... do you think they wear the obligatory head scarf and pinni too? :rotfl: )
    I hang ALL my smalls indoors on the airer rather than hang them out, as I only have a washing line and nothing to hide them behind, but to be honest, more often than not, I tumble the small bits...

    Must start going to bed earlier... its been a real struggle getting up this morning. I meant to get up at six, but went back to sleep. Read from 7-7.15 in an attempt to wake up. Now need to have a shower and get dressed before the guy who's doing the work on the house gets here.

    And get my meter readings done and into i-measure... and maybe some ironing before I leave for work ;)

    Morning flyladies,

    mOZzy - your on form this morning;) Love the broom and eyebrows quip:rotfl::rotfl:
    Thrilled to see that we have another flylady eligible to join 'The Peg Posse';)
    **thinks** Really must start making up a members list:D

    As for your question - I don't shop on line. I can't think of anything worse:eek:
    I like to hunt for and see the bargains for myself and I like to pick my own meat, fruit and veg. Plus the added bonus of being in the right place already should there happen to be a mistake on my till receipt. Which more often than not there is;)

    flower - No I do not wear a headscarf. It would mess my hair up. Or a pinny cos I am still young;)

    However when it comes to me smalls. They get hung where ever they will fit. This is to make maximum use of all available line (it's a whirly one you see) ;)
