Blush...

it's a pass on the Welsh accent Valli... I immigrated from home counties about 8 years ago!

Flyperson - there's a certain ring to that...

No more cleaning for me. Must learn not to open a bottle of wine for just the one glass (no willpower)

hic...

But Tom (my most favourite name that ) you are a fly person therefore...
you open the bottle
you empty the bottle
you put bottle in for recycling
bottle gone
you have flown...
job done;)

and he mentions rings too ****heart throbs****
***sigh***

So How is everyone????? I have missed the humour!!!....Cheer me up please!!!!!

Oh I AM SO PLEASED YOU ARE BACK HUN I MISSED YOU
they have reined me in! I cannot run - a dictat has been issued from on high. I have been a very very good girl...

And pleased you have had a good day Toots - well deserved xx

Froddy mine have to be done by Friday but in a streak of deviousness (all flyladies and flypersons who know Valli oh so well ***blench*** at the thought of a devious Valli - this cannot be...a usurper has surely logged in under valli's username she has not got a devious bone in her body) as well as working 3 paid days 0.6 dontcha know I get my PPA at 0.6 + 10% and therefore get paid to work at home - which is when I'll do my IEPs - like I don't do anything else at home and have free weekends and Fly on Thurs and Fridays (I wish)
I am going OUT tomorrow night anyway - to the theatah (note use of posh accent) dontcha know...not the same one as Greenbee (hear sighs of relief emanating from Hampshire)

see...I have to squash 'em all in..all mentions in one post ***sigh***

(and BTW my DS is also a Tom...so of course it's my favourite name)

toochoosey

ok, valli, but how do i keep this


or make it smaller to use as my avatar?

toottifrootti

managed to catch up on all you bletherers!!! By rights as I wasnt here all day there should have been less than normal but you still managed 5 pages so its not me that does the chatty postings obviously!!!!:rotfl:
michelle - sorry to hear you and boys are not so good - hope its better in the morning and you get away fro your wedding - have a good time if you go.
soappie - bad newws about the shower but good news that a replacement is possible so no extra for tiling.
pigpen - love the idea of newbie list :T
lilme- signed the petition
juliejim

I've sent you an email

sorry Jue not received an email or a pm
natty

Welcome Ju and LilySue - can I interest you in joining the Peggies,

Down natty -at least let them get settled in for a week :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
davgirl - have a fab holiday and bring the sunshine back with you
supergirl SS - what a fabulous post of welcome that was - :A *blushing* at being mentioned in dispatches like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl:
mudbath - glad she enjoyed the class and her roll in the mud (just living up to your name!) cant imagine a black pretty spotty dotty poppy puppy!!!
mumoffour77 - sooooooooooooooo glad to see you back - have missed you and yours - hope you are all doing ok and DH too - its madder than ever here if that was possible - hope you're not of the matching peg brigade - I am getting seriously outnumbered :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

ok thats the regulars sorted out!!

hugs to anyone I have missed - it had to be a skim read and i kept forgetting to do the quote thing so i had to rely on my slightly older memory!!!

to all the newbies - lilysue, puss14, juexx, gryfon(I think I already welcomed you but doing it again for good measure!!!) and cardiffmatch.

i havent been here that long but I love it - the support is fantastic and ther's always someone to help, winge at, cry on, ask questions, rant, whatever - remember we are here no matter what it is - one of us always knows where to find things dont you lil_me!! - and somebody will probably know the answer to your question.
dont feel foolish about asking - we might roll about laughing but we will help (no honestly we dont laugh - well only now and then)

As sarah so beautifully wrote

Toots' favourite saying is that the house didn't get in a mess overnight, so it'll take a while to sort it out. Babysteps is the way to go, a bit at a time!

welcome to what we lovingly call the madhouse!!!!!

cardiffmatch you are very welcome and we make no concessions because you are a man - just struggle along like the rest of us - please dont show us you strong macho side and put us to shame with hard work - we would rather see you get in touch with your feminine side and enjoy yourself:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: hope you enjoy your new apartment and as the others have said stay away from the dark side (US Flylady site) its scary!!!

I had better go and see what joys dear pigpen has lined up for tomorrow - I did manage to S&S the bathroom this morning but will have to do it properly when its the kids rooms thuis week - have ECDL practise tomorrow for 2 hours in morning and then I will be home to do HHCs I think.

love you all loads and loads
