    I'm feeling CBA this morning too - all I want to do is curl up on the sofa and go to sleep! Don't like this weather, don't like being on my own, fed up with my stupid arm, etc. etc.

    Sorry - just needed to get that out! Has been a while since I've been like this and I just get cross with myself for feeling down :mad:


    Anyway - greenbee - I was thinking London if people don't mind, though think it might be too far for soappie. It would be fairly easy for the Hampshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey people.

    Maybe I should get dressed!

    Froddy Big hugs. Im off now to tackle this Jamie recipe.

    Agreed, I think London would be a good idea... and if we have more of these, chances are that there will be overlaps where some of us can get to more than one of them.

    ...and I'm glad to see there is someone getting dressed even later than me :D . I stayed in bed until I'd finished my book, and then got bored... one of the problems with living on your own is that there is no one to MAKE you get up and motivated.

    I've got a major case of CBA :o I'd rather be curled up in bed sleeping or watching a film :rolleyes: I NEED to get my assignment done. I can't be posting it Friday, so it has to be posted tomorrow (or I loose my lunch time posting it).

    Ex has now asked if DD can make something for his sister's birthday as she'll be turning 21 mid-November :confused: I don't know what the hell she can make and DD is saying "coasters" from hamma. :rolleyes:

    Right, this isn't going to get my assignment done. :wave:

    Hoovered behind the sofa and the hallway
    Swept kitchen floor
    Got Sunday's lego with mirror paper.

    So interlopers are going to the meet!! shame you are about 2 hours away, I just cannot afford the petrol etc this time round.

    Got all the lego tokens I need cheque signed and envelope ready :) will post it on the way out this afternoon.

    We will be leaving here in about an hour. Like greenbee says if we get more of these organised around the country I am sure there will be overlaps. Perhaps we should think even bigger and organise a flylady convention :D Find a travellodge doing £10/night rooms close to a station where cheap tickets can be had.... now that is an idea :)

    Another thought we could do a flylady swoop sometime bit like DIY SOS. We coud converge on a flylady in need (thinking of Toots in particular at the mo) all crash somewhere close by, give assistance as required and have a good old knees up at the same time.

    Question about condensers if anyone can help. I bought one for the tumble drier and it said to fill part of it with water and freeze it, so i done that about 3 weeks ago:o now do i just put it all together and stick the hose thing in? and how come you have to freeze water, surely when the hose thing drips water in it will be nearly full anyway with melting the ice?:confused:

    Any help would be great as i don't have a clue what i'm at and the instructions are crap.

    Utility room nearly cleared, so much rubbish in there it's no wonder it's a climbing match to get to the wm.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    If we'd been more organised, Rach & I could have gone and picked you up on the way - I didn't realise you were in MK! We definitely need a flylady locator map :rotfl:

    So who's up for a trip to Scotland to see Toots next weekend? (Or down here to empty my garage :o ).

    We'd need to plan quite a way ahead for trains, as I think the cheap tickets come up about 3 months ahead, but I'm sure someone on here will have the organisational skills to get this sorted (don't ask me... I have to pay someone to organise for me to get from one meeting to another at work...)

    Maybe it's something you could discuss at today's inaugural meet :D
