    erm.... you've lost me.. what are we on about?

    You might have had the odd little drinkie... it was a theoretical discussion about setting up in competition to flylady, and you came up with some names. I'm seeing whether I can set up some webspace for us to keep info on (e.g. the cleaning products spreadsheet that Valli's volunteered for, and maybe a map showing where flyladies are), but it needs a name! Then we can see whether it would be useful or not..

    Bet that's one puzzled user then! That's where my missing PMs are...
    being naive and gullible (apparently a Libra trait) it NEVER occurred to me that there would be a Valli and a valli...

    Er Greenbee 17th Nov I got HTH...too idle to reply (Tom was posting...) am avil Thurs and Fri...been swotting up on pivot tables...

    Yea but, and maybe this is me being naive and thinking everyone else is the same, if you got a PM and you didn't know what it was about, wouldn't you reply to the person and let them know they had sent it to the wrong one? Not exactly hard is it...:confused:

    Soappie Recipe worked out great. It was quick to do and tasted delicious.

    Thanks dusty :A - yes gone too far to stop and the carpet is in the hall blocking everywhere so I have to try - hoping to just be able to drag it into BR - have bought the tape and tacks and have a staple gun!!! Have no energy to do much now so it will be done in small doses!!!
    Have also got all the stuff I put on ebay last week finishing today - and have 15 sales already!!! at least some of it is small and wont ake much packaging and it more clutter gone!
    toots xx

    Toots, missed your first post as am skimming my way through the last 12 pages - Hugs honey... and take it easy - do a little bit then have a break coz we don't want your worn out rolled up in the carpet somewhere do we...

    Hope you've managed to turn the carpet round the right way. at least once it's down, you can take your time getting it back, you're over the worst then - maybe ask a neighbour if they can help move the furniture back in for you?

    Please take it easy though, you know how we all worry...

    and well done on the sales... as you say, more gone...:T
