Thank you so much everyone, I like the pooh sticks idea. I am out of the bath early because I ran out of hot water but it was lovely and relaxing and DS burnt the spag bol but I have saved the top so we have added extra chopped tomatoes and pasta is cooking now.

I don't know what I would do without all my friends on here, you have helped me stop crying. THank you all

ssl Its lovely to hear from you again.

JOHANNE, i admire you doing the test loads,i did mine many years ago and didn't have to do the theory, have since tried it on DVD and failed loads of times(years of driving when i did that, he, he) but DSD passed on her second attempt and has since gone through a couple of cars!!!(she is only 22 now ) i think it also depends on the type of person you are, you are a young mum with someone else to take care of, limited finances etc, DSD as much as i love her and i have said this to her is only having to look after herself, with some help from her mum and dad!!!!!!!!!!!
that went on a bit longer than i wanted and i think CAROL is in your position as well(more focused)

If I close the window with my boots order in (in the basket but not ready to complete it yet) will I lose it all?

Just tried it and mine didn't vanish, might be worth copy and pasting the order into word so you have it if necessary?

Evening all

Been a busy day at work again, just caught up with all your chatting, hugs all round.

Just had an email to say the Mamma Mia DVD's are on their way can't remember where they are being delivered to :rotfl: think it is here rather than work. The Gizoo order arrived at work yesterday which is ideal as I picked it up today and can give my mate his bday pressie (it's tomorrow) when I see him next week. One (of three) Superdrug orders has been desptached as well plus email from Amazon re W's pressie saying it is despatched.

Now where did I leave my watch? Will go and hunt out a Stella while I am looking for it

I'm sure someone just mentioned 100 cards!

Mass Facebook message *Gryfon is too busy doing housework therefore she'd like to say Happy Yule/Christmas/insert holiday of your choice to everyone around this time*

Think that'll work?

I think someone mentioned 100 because that's how many people (+ about 30ish) are in the flylady family now - don't suppose everyone will sign up to cards though, and some are sending ecards, which are free, so it will be fine I'm sure... this is MSE after all... :money:
