    Pigpen I think a list of contributors to the thread would be great. I'm useless at names and rememberbering who is who so a reminder would be great, maybe it could be started like the meet list with copy, paste and add your line ie:

    DustyKitten (DK or Dusty for short) has DH DS1 (14) DS2 (12) DS3 (6) regular poster but often falls off the wagon, no real areas of expertise but likes to give an opinion.

    I think that would be nice.. BUT.. it would probably make the first post WAAAAY too long.. I'll PM a guise see what they say.. I don't want a telling off thank you!

    Well I'd better dust myself down and get over my dissapointment that pigpen isn't going to appear with purple wings and a large wand and sprinkle fairy dust over my household achievements ( I think that's what they do on the american flylady site, but I did find it rather confusing )

    That is why we come back here and say hey look I've done ALL THIS.. and you and we can see you have achieved marvels.. while I was scooting round toy shops doing a spot of chimbolo shopping!!... I just need books for DD1 now and she is done I think.. might have a look for her some snazzy pumps too..

    What do I get the boys???

    Lilysue - I admire you learning to drive, keep at it. One of our AWOL flyladies Shell (hope you're well hun and that you Mum is ok) passed her test earlier this year and was so pleased. Pigpen is in the process of compiling a flylady cleaning products list.

    I think it may have to wait until half term.. I am pretty swamped at the moment!

    delegate it!!!! there are 2 flyladies itching to help you...........valli and greenbee!!!!!!!

    it would be one thing less for you to worry about and you could concentrate on the assignments!!!!

    a list of new and returning flyers weekly would be the simplest thing - we all tend to do an intro bit when we do our first post and then we get nosy and ask for all the other bits anyway!!!

    thats just my humble opinion!!!

    Delegate to another flylady who likes lists, tables, pivots etc - not me - I would but I can't use those table things.

    List of flyers could be post 2 like on the boots/pigsback threads - they have really long posts.

    Just need to finish the family room and then my flying is done for now.

    Taking DS3 back to the shoe shop after school. I sadly find things like that very stressful, not sure what I'll say/do if they say the shoes fit fine.

    Got bread rising.
    Hauled everything out from under the stairs and vacuumed it then put everything back more neatly. I did find a pile of what looked suspicously like mouse poo!:eek:

    I worked out what I was supposed to be doing with the patchwork - I was battling to use the patchwork ruler (angles etc) but now I'm flying with it, so hopefully should get what I need finished before the next lesson on Saturday.

    Need to go to the post office to cash the FIS cheque, bit of shopping, then off to pick up DS from school, so I'll try and catch up later.
