    Still catching up on the thread, 10 pages to go. See there are several newbies to welcome, congratulations for a number of exam results, get well wishes for lots of you, hugs for many and apologies because this is not more personal

    Had a course in Kendal Tues am so then I went to flylady heaven (aka Lakeland at Windermere) and spent longer there than on the course :rolleyes: Obviously thought of you all as I wandered round (pegs oh that will be Valli & Tag, Ovenmate - Pigpen, actifry - Lil_me, Remoska - Trikeretc etc) - definitely true that once ensnared you can't leave.

    I have a just about doable 60 item list which I am in the middle of - OH back in about 15 hours unless he gets an earlier flight :eek: but also :j .

    I think as I'm so behind on the thread already this week there will be no chance once he is back so I will probably be skimming it and posting even less than normal over the next month. Also don't need to post what I've done when he is back as, based on past experience, he'll be doing most of the lists :D But today it will be lots of HHCs - starting now!! Are you in DeniseNZ?!?
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Thank you to all who post competitions & help the smooth running of the comps board

    Huge hugs to those in need - huge welcome to newbies . . .

    I've got a wee bit behind again, but not to worry. I'm just about to cook dinner, then will phone my big boys and have an early night, I think.

    OH is sick, so that's not helping, either.
