Sorry, not read beyond tuesday.... but will eventually.
My friend's little boy has had to go back into hospital. He's really really poorly. Please all, healing vibes for him again. I believe so much in the power of positive healing vibes... so please, if you're that way inclined, a thought in his direction would be great. Thank you lovelies. :wave:
I'll be back later guys. Thank you again.

I get mouth ulcers from flouride toothpaste.
The dentist told me that black tea (without milk) has flouride in it. Also 'proper' beer (i.e. bitter) :rolleyes: So those are FINE between meals. I need to avoid things that will get stuck between my teeth too - so I'll have to clean my teeth morning and evening, and have soup for lunch :rotfl:

Maybe we need a third post... Flylady resources...
... links to the peg videos, this and other useful ones I'm sure people will find in future, and useful posts from the past (like the ones that serena quoted today)...0 -
does anyone know what I'm doing wrong with the photos?
I don't think you are... it's just quite often some of us can see photos/smileys etc, and some of us can't... no idea why, it just happens
I've put cleaner down the loo, limescale remover in the basin downstairs, and wiped over the upstairs basin. Bath looks clean (my mum was the last one to use it). Have stripped & remade spare bed, and am now going to sort laundry so I can get as much as possible done before I leave tomorrow. I'll then be able to iron on Sunday :rolleyes:
Also have to add to the list:
wrap present for friend I'm seeing at the weekend
wrap present for goddaughter
write thank you letters
write letter to great aunt & uncle
write letter to godfather
post next batch of flylady vouchers (find first class stamps bought at weekend... they can't have gone far)
Work - write business case, write HR stuff, write outstanding feedback, costs for project implementation and find out where meeting is!!
Right... another half hour and I should be ready for bed (or at least, a bath, seeing as its clean :rotfl: )0 -
Evening all
Another full day at work - interesting to say the least as we're doing some desk hopping (basically because I dont want the new boss to see when I'm on the internet when she'll be sat behind me) so I'll be sitting on top of the radiator as I always feel the cold, she'll be sitting next to the other boss (who wont know it until she comes in on Monday, and another girl will be sitting in my old place. Nothing is ever simple though as we now have to get IS to sort out switching telephones and PC's over. New boss is not popular to say the least! Sorry little rant over
Since then I have
Collect DD from childminder
Made bread rolls with DD
Made Chicken and vege soup from a load of leftovers
Washup up, Dried up and put away :eek:
S/S kitchen
Wiped dining table
Packed the last christmas tree away that was on the landing
