    :j Yay, Monday kitchen. And that's all I have to do before working on emptying the laundry hamper. Have done the LR and bathroom this evening so there is just the kitchen left before visitor arrives at 5 tomorrow. Going to stop working on house now and do some christmas cards (or at least our newsletter to go with them)
    Looks like DS is getting ready to sleep now-he's confused with it being so dark so early. But it does feel much later than it is.

    I'm just relieved to discover you're still alive, and haven't been buried under an avalanche of boxes! We're looking forward to your update :D

    We're working on a flylady locator at the moment, so when you have time, add your details to the database here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MSEflyladies/database?method=reportRows&tbl=2&sortBy=1&sortDir=down&start_at=0

    The same goes for anyone else who wants to be able to work out who is local to them. Please don't put detailed address information in... it's not set up like that as the information is public. If you want to share your address with anyone, PM them. And Pigpen holds the Christmas card list!
