boddy - nice lottery win !
crafty - right click the smilie you want and then click copy - go across to your post and left click where you want it then right click and click paste off the wee menu tada! HTH
blotted copy bbok - ooh you have a real star of a hubbie there - nice to see a joint effort - well done today.
pink - hope you are beginning to feel better - like the sounds of DS work experience - glad he is enjoying it - maybe thats his forte to work with animals?
johanne good that you got pumpkin in the chair and managed to do a few bits - good luck with the avon - know where to come now!
gryfon - good luck with the scan - hope the results dont ake too long to come.
beccah - sorry to hear about your bruv - hope he is on the mend.
nicki ooh that sounds sore - lavender oil will stop it blistering.
chunky nice to see you cheerier this week - and full of positive work thoughts - you will be flying along
kindlesgirl that was a nice feeling when you saw your tidy house - it makes all the difference - WELL DONE YOU!!!!
lilme - I am really pleased for you that DH is not going away - good for you in pointing out how his life would change - he obviously hadnt thought of that. You must be so relieved. Fingers crossed his mother doesnt talk him round - it is an awful lot of money isnt it - no wonder he was tempted - but he should realise his family is worth far more.
sarah - glad your nice mrs quack sorted you out (well to the best of her ability :rotfl: :rotfl: ) she obviously doesnt know about your drink problems and your desire to slob on the sofa all day and be a lady of leisure then???????? Hope the new ABs dont take too long to work - take it easy (what am I saying!!) hugs babes xx

welcome to the newbies and returner -mermaid, lou1981, raggydoll, Mrs Dawn, frazzmunch - no need to feel ashamed we have all been there and some like me still are!!! whatever little you do this week it will make each following week easier - you will soon have it all shiny!! Remember (here it comes flower) it didnt get in a mess overnight so it wont get tidy overnight - be patient and lots of baby steps!!
Oh and welcome to the madhouse!!!!!:rotfl:

Great to have you on board leverton - most of the men dont mange to stay/ keep up or whatever so hope you last longer - you will have to be thick skinned to put up with the moaning we do about partners so dont take it personally - perhaps you will be able to give us 'mere women' some pointers as to where we are going wrong:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
your GF will love you even more if you get good at keeping house!!

welcome to the madhouse!!!

Hi all
I'm new to this thread. I have been trying to follow flylady in bits since Jan this year. I have a question from one of the emails that have come through and wondered whether any of you could help me understand it. I have just been reading Leanne's marinade for:
Garlicky Ginger Lime Marinade

1 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ginger root, grated
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 cup olive oil

Do you think she really mean a whole cup of lime juice - as in squeezing for hours over the juicer? It would take loads and loads of limes!!

Would love someone to tell me that is not the case as I fancy trying the marinade.

Thanks in advance

Mummy Jo

hello and welcome Mummy Jo - sorry cant help you with the recipe - maybe some of the others will - a lot of us dont subscribe to the american flylady site as its 'too much' - too american and way too many emails for my liking - pigpens list are much more civilised and easy to follow!!

good luck and welcome.

and this fantasy was what? apart from far removed from reality.;)

I GIVE UP!!!! I cant be bothered, my back is killing me and i feel sick.
Will try again tomorrow. Need to get kids to bed then i'm going to get a hotwater bottle a watch telly all night.

regarding a Wii, we love ours and no kids here. DH and I were a two wii relationship when we got married :rotfl: sold one to a friend!

I'd not bother with a docking station but nunchucks are really useful. Good games for smaller ones are probably WarioWare, wii olympics as well as wii sports and wii play. DH plays a lot of mariokart which usually results in a lot of swearing!! :eek: Brain training is on my christmas list

kazwookie

Dinner eaten, pots washed up, now watching the news, going to watch telly all evening!!

Just been told I am being taken out tomorrow night, I gather I am off to see the new James Bond movie!!

Mummy jo that does sounds like a lot of lime juice, I would suggest a goot squirt and see how you get on.

Hi to all the newbies
