  • Am sooooooooooooooo jealous of you all doing your dailies!! Am stuck at work till 5.30 then the dreaded walk home on slippery paths in the dark. Already have 1 chrome elbow from a bad fall down the stairs a couple of years ago, so don't want another!! Also touch and go for 4 months if I lost my left eye, I am a left hander you know so it's not my fault!!

    At least with work being so deadly quiet I've managed to keep up with the posts. On a good note because estate agency work means you need a really good printer for the brochures I've printed off on photo paper some of the wedding pictures, so hasn't cost me anything!! Friend whose a pro photographer took the pics and put them on a cd so we can get printed what we want- did this for nothing which I thought was really sweet

    Looking REALLY good in Valliland...
    well in devious attempt to thwart Pigpen and whatever 'treat' she has in store for some lucky Flyladies I have completeley done my list - but a day late :rotfl: Hall stairs landing and PC desk now done. I will set it to defrag while I eat my lunch.
    It's gone cloudy here so I will go and shut the windows upstairs soon and make my bed - assuming I have frozen any dustmites to death now. Goodness knows where the cat is - gone into deep cover, she has :rotfl:
    Ooh pretty stars - now do I get one given this is the list I posted to do (and I am being a very good Valli as I could be lounging around watching telly...:rolleyes::D)

    Completed list star chart..

    Mudbath DH :starmod:
    Toochoosey :staradmin

    See.. incentive.. you've got a start chart!!

    In that case I'll admit to having finished Monday's list yesterday (see last night's post for evidence...) and I think Summermoon may have done too...;)

    There was just a suspicion that we might end up with something extra to do!

    Just when I thought the snow was starting to melt... it's chucking it down. Big flakes and everything!

    Why do I get the feeling that we are being lured into a false sense of security?;)

    But I have finished yesterdays list albeit today:o

    Oh a star that will motivate me!

    Lunch made and eaten for all so I'll do the hoovering to warm up before I do the hoovering - kids are wrapped in blankets on the sofa I may have to put the heating on.

    Massive thank you to everyone who sent hugs, lit candles and gave brilliant advice, you are all stars and it's really touching. It really helped me as well.

    I sent a little note to my friends yesterday just to say how much I was thinking of them and if there was anything I could do for them, however big or small then I was there for them at anytime. Loved Pigpen's idea of the little book or something to remember Chloe by and will be doing this. Heard from my friend this morning, thanking me very much for the note and that they are taking things one day at a time and would see me soon. I have told them both that whenever they need me day or night then they shouldn't hesitate... just hope they take me up on it.

    Haven't done much on the flying front this morning as DD has had a cold and awful cough for about a week now and when I went into her this morning she was covered in a rash!! Got an appt at the docs and they said it was just a viral rash and should go in time. Just going to finish my cuppa and then crack on with the list.

    Thank you again to everyone, you are all wonderful xxxxx

    Ooh congrats to Pigpens DS's GF!! Sounds like a quick birth!

    fedupandskint - hope you're feeling much better soon xx
