  • sexy - a big hug and have a good sleep - you will get it all sorted - its a nightmare moving but you will soon get it all under your control. You will have to make sure you pop back and forth to see your neighbour. Is she fit enough to come round to your new place?

    johanne - you have been a very busy flylady -I hope you managed to get your bed made so you can have a nice sleep. I bet pumpkin enjoyed her day with aunty nicki - I hope she sleeps all night for you too. I love lil_me's ideas of paper plates and the bin for OH - hope you have got them organised!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well done Johanne. It doesn't matter if they don't match, but I bet it'll feel lovely after sleeping on a unmade bed. I sometimes end up doing that when things get a bit too much, and it doesn't help. Getting into a nice, clean freshly made bed does help. Make sure you at least have a shower before you go to bed, so you're nice & clean to... if you have the time, maybe a soak in the bath is in order (either way, the bathroom might benefit as well as you!).

    Hope things are better tomorrow.

    Can someone explain to me the etiquette of poppy wearing? I have always thought you buy a poppy and wear it on 11 November for the day.

    But, whenever I watch the news or other almost live programmes at the moment, presenters are already wearing them. To me that dilutes the message of rememberance. A bit like putting Xmas decorations up in November.

    Am I being a bit 'special'? Or have I missed an edict or something somewhere?

    Well done Johanne, I know having a tiny one can make you forget things until you can't do them because they are asleep etc, if you ever need reminding about things like that just post in here.

    Soappie, my thoughts on the poppy thing, at least they are wearing them! I remember being out selling poppies and told to wear them ourselves many days before, but after the selling mine didn't go back on until the 11th. I'd guess out of every 20 people who walked past us, 1 bought one, hence my thought of at least they are wearing them. I hope they put them on because they know what they are for and not just because others are. My boys get the lecture every year.

    Ohh no, so many bags, one has DPs ankle brace in it and I need to find it tonight :( boooo!!! Wish I could remember where I put it.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Didn't you know it is tres chic to have mismatched bedding, I swear by it at times ;)

    Soappie we bought poppies the other day. I usually wear mine in the week before remembrance day, A & W were very proud to wear theirs when we got them as they are 'for the soldiers' W was telling everyone to look at his flower. If it makes people think just that little bit more about the impact they have on others then it might just make the world a bit of a nicer place to be.
