Triker - He's another pocket dragon called 'littlest reindeer' I have a collection of them http://www.xystos.co.uk/ click on Pocket Dragon's. There's a 'few' different ones. I only have about 60. They have however stopped making them now

OJK luckily I haven't had to make that sort of toast for a while, however my hate for waste, I used to just put the imprint into the bread and make them eat it with just the pattern on.

They're lovely, I remember them.:D

I haven't posted on this forum before although I follow it everyday - firstly I just wanted to say thank you, we have just moved and my house was chaotic, at the point where I didn;t know where to start, but I just followed the 'flying' here and now I can almost see all the floors

However, this is my solemn vow:

I WILL NOT REMOVE ALL THE DIRTY GLASSES/PLATES FROM MY DAUGHTERS ROOM. I WILL NOT.


Thank you for that - feel so much better now :rotfl:

Happy flying from a boiling hot (34 degrees) Australia!

I've just written 59 cards for all the kids in Year 6 :eek: I am now sick of writing "To .... Merry Christmas and a happy new year from Miss......". It seemed a good idea at the time, but by card 30 it wasn't :rotfl::rotfl: Just the staff to go now.

I'm going to try and get the Fly lady ones done tomorrow night as DD is away for the weekend. I'm hoping to get some flying done as well as my OU work. I feel a trip around the house with a binbag coming on this weekend

I best get to bed :wave:

Morning All

Hi Llamahead!

Going to mum and dad's for tea tonight straight from work so probably won't get anything done then.

So I'm going to do a quick HHC now while you lot are all snoring and then I'll possibly do a HHI in a bit.

soappie

Rach - glad you got the watch battery. Enjoy your day off
Pink - hugs - hope your throat is just a fleeting thing and not the flu
Lil-me - do enjoy your lunch today
Welcome Llamahead from down under!

Another cold and frosty morning. Just waiting for the water to finish heating then I'm taking an early bath - that said, I think I just heard DS get up! Bum! Some gentle bathroom negotiation needs to occur right now I think.

Have a good day ladies.
