    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:

    I'll make a flylady locator map / list if you want.

    Pm your name and location.

    Remember this forum is an open one, so a main town or city might be advisable, as you never know who is reading.

    I could then post it up somewhere, or just pm it to the people who are onthe list.:confused:

    BTW do we have a flyladies christmas drinks party in here :rotfl:

    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.


    For a guess you would have to keep freezing it so the hot steam condenses when it hits the cold ice...obviously over time it will thaw? Cos you will have to keepemptying it anyhow...?

    CBA kicked in here too, made myself vacuum before posting, not that it makes much difference as the kids have now had lunch (crumbs everywhere) after trudging in coated in mud, great! I need to do quite a bit, but all in one smaller space, a lot less to clean but no easier as I have less space to move around and nowhere to place children out of the way.

    Hope the meet up goes well, I hope they don't charge you too much to get in without kids (I know the one here does) I meet childless friends outside then go in. Sorry pigpen I just can't picture you in trainers :p

    Been doing my neighbourly thing, this time got soaked putting a buggy down and under the caravan that was left outside and it rained heavily.

    Mudbath well done!
    kaz make sure your time setting is right, click User CP, then Edit Options, make sure 'date and time' is on GMT and DST correction below is on Automatically detect DST settings.

    Take DSs swimming when pool reopens at 1pm. For some reason internet isn't working as well this week, must know I am here for longer, grrr. I am spending more time trying to reconnect than actually using it. Might pick up the other modem next time I go home.

    Just been watching someone pack up, not looking forward to doing that ourselves as I have half the house in here, have arranged with neighbour to leave it outside the house (no I suppose it doesn't effect them much but would rather be decent about it as takes up parking spaces) so will clean it at home before taking it to storage on Sunday.

    Right, what's next, washing up I think....joy
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I don't know whether the yahoo groups allow you to post documents, or use google maps and set locations on them, but that might be an option seeing as its already set up (if any of us can remember our login details :rolleyes: ). Or someone might have another space somewhere that we can use - you're right though, probably nearest large town is the best bet, with usernames not real names.

    I've just checked, and I can get some webspace on tiscali, so will see what happens when I activate it and PM you!

    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.

    Anyone else suffering form a severely acute case of CBA? I just can't get motivated today. I think it's the grey, very wet weather!

    I've had that for the past 3 days but it has passed now:D

    Lunch eaten and clearing up nearly all done. Just checking the last of my electricity/gas figures now.

    Have a great time at the meet everyone :D

    I think it would be great to have more of these - I need a bit of a social life!!

    - I might be persuaded to sort tickets / hotels / etc. if people want that -

    Right - went mad an emptied a kitchen cupboard yesterday and have just done 4th load of washing up of the stuff that was in it! Still more to go :o Cupboard is nice and clean though!

    Lunch now methinks!

    There, kitchen bookshelf done. 4 out of date catalogues chucked in the recycling and cookery books wiped down and put back in an orderly fashion. Looks much better!

    Re a southern meet if the majority want London, that's fine but I don't think I'd go - I really, really detest the place
