    Hi,this is my first flylady post but Ive been following for a month or so and my kitchens never looked so good, living room and bathroom aren't doing too bad either, bedrooms my failing (one bed apartment plus zero storage).

    My oh is libran and he's sooooooooo frustrating, takes his socks off and dumps them where he is which is generally about 1 -5 steps from the washing basket. grrrrrrrrr. Will get him train!!!! I'm piscean, but slightly cuspal to aquarius so I can be very organised and get everythig done, but I can also be very lazy and make great plans and never do them, depends on my mood I think.

    Anyone who is having internet issues, we've been having them at work for a few days, and I've just been told that the fault has been traced to Virgin Media and is apparently affecting quite a few companies... so that might be the reason!

    I'm sure your head knows too but it is just being contrary for the fun of it.. Do we all get invites to your wedding then?? We can bring offerings for the buffet if you wish?

    You just had too didn't you:) Why do you think everytime DF's family say "we don't mind travelling to London" I refuse and say "no, Im quite keen on Sheffield":D I think it was Valli who mentioned I should be having an MSE Flylady wedding and all my "virtual mums/sisters" on here would help out. Kaat_Lady has already sent a number of venue ideas (although thinking about it, if Im having all the flyladies and their lot-one of you better fess up with a really big garden/plot/farm and the rest of you best put your heads down re grub).
    I don't know if I've mentioned yet that we are toying with the idea of a "larney picnic" with a "free for all, laid back join the fun" after. Also I've decided on sunset orange and salmon pink gerbera's with burgandy cala lilies.
    But instead of centre pieces as such I'd like to use filled picnic baskets and wrap the handles with ribbon and decorate simply with a few Gerberas.

    ETA Vanilla Um...sounds like you have a bun in the oven:confused: But I hope you feel better, you too G&B

    That sounds so lovely. Better than any £300 a head do. :D
