    Morning all!

    Even though I told the boy I was sitting beside that I had a fear of flying, I think he was quite taken aback when he looked over as we were taking off and there were tears rolling down my cheeks :o I really hate flying...

    Hi F_f - you're really brave for doing it if it scares you that much. I don't blame you for havin a quick tipple on the way home!! My thing is snakes. I remember working in a school when the animal man came. I was allowed to stay in the class, but had to go into the hall when he'd gone to help kids with dinners. I couldn't sit down 'cause i was so paranoid a snake may have escaped. I literally walked round looking under all the tables. I must have looked like a complete loon lol :eek: :D

    Have a good day x

    glad you had a lovely weekend with the rellies & a safe flight. have been MIA for a few days, so i too need to catch up on threads/emails/source some cheap car insurance etc... BUT once i have completed these, i'm going to have a peep at flylady. i am a great tidier & de-clutterer, but not so hot on the cleaning like dusting/hoovering/mopping - it's just so BORING! so i think i will benefit from her guidance. i need a plan...

    I have found flylady really good so far as it's all about crossing things off lists :D

    People struggle with motivation on there and you will often see the cry of HHC! (Half Hour Challenge) in which you just try and do as much as you can in half an hour. That seems to work for a lot of people!

    I'm off to do some dinner and some housework now, I have a bit of a list to get through!

    Good news!

    I have
    FINALLY managed to earn enough points on BingoPort tonight to redeem a fiver on Amazon. I must have been playing slots for about three hours though, urgh...

    Also, my £20 credited to my ING account today for opening the account when they were doing the promotion a couple of weeks back - free money for me :D

    I have done badly with Flylady Tasks today - washing and clean kitchen notwithstanding. Tomorrow is another day :D I don't know how well I will do this week tbh as overtime is finally available again at work :j I only did 45 minutes today (still tired from yesterday) but hope to do lots more this week before I finish up for holidays on Friday. I think my wage before tax is about £10 per hour, so it's easy to work out how much I'm making! :rotfl:

    Night all!

    Fresian loves her cow pictures so whenever i come across a " silly one " on the internet i save it in my Photobucket account and wait for the " appropriate " moment to " post " them ! :rotfl: ...
