    Holly I joined you, just didn't come back on here as I'd have not started again.

    Living room finished and bathroom floor done.

    Woody going mad, he wants me to let him out with the big cats but it is too cold for me to start doing that yet!

    New swimming class is at 4:00 so straight home and straight out again really. I'll take my worktime table to do whilst 'watching'.

    Be back at tea time - be good.

    Jill - same coast but mine is going to San F from Heathrow but early morning flight so he's leaving here early

    Come on Gryfon, off you go - you're worse than me this week, and I was a very bad flylady at the beginning of the week...;)

    Instead of telling us what you can't do, tell us what you've done - will that help? :confused: (says she who did the same earlier in the week - much prefer posting what I have done now... makes me feel good...)

    I know I was doing alright yesterday morning! I have attempted to clear the side by my bed...how many books and magazines!

    I can hear the children coming down the street...my peace is about to go! Also I keep getting headaches early afternoon which is very strange.
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
