  • Made sense to me too. Thanks for the nudge, FF.

    Of course when I did it it was completely straight forward and only took minutes.
    And since it transferred all the current messages it must have worked IYSWIM.
    Now just got to work out how to use the new system.
    Got my 'Idiot's Guide' out.:rotfl:

    Glad you did it Crafty, it's always starting thats hard... (says she, putting off that proposal by catching up on here...:o )
    I love Outlook, I organise all my emails into different folders by using rules so they go straight there, then I can open the important ones first...;) (just right click on the email you want to put in a seperate folder and then click 'create rule' and follow the instructions)
    I also put my list on there in tasks and then I can tick them off, I put all my appointments in diary, notes to myself in notes (little post-its) and EVERYONE is in my addresses, which reminds me when their birthdays are and everything... I know there are other systems out there that probably work just as good, but this works so well for me... You will love it once you get used to it...:D (ooooh, bit of a microsoft advert there, sorry about that...)

    Glad you told us what the reward was Sexymouse, would have been wondering in my dirty mind (because I am sad like that...) ;)
    Hubby LOVES jamaica ginger cake - any chance of recipie?

    Mudbath, Greenbee beat you today... and spayed???? Well, I've never know you to be a bit b!tchy:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    FunFairPrincess - glad they've moved DS and are dealing with it - why do kids think they have to bottle this stuff up? it breaks my heart... hugs to you both...

    OK, sandwich eaten, and I am starting on that proposal... oooohhhheeeerrrrr...:eek: never done one like this before, wish me luck...

  • Mudbath - re: running after op, do you still have any discomfort in the area and have you healed fully? If so, try a tiny bit of a jog only and see how you feel later/day after - you can always still walk it.

    Newby Money Saving Chicki - heartfelt condolences to you and your family - remember that there is no set way to grieve and we're here if you need to offload - ((((hugs))))

    Am postponing flying the bathroom and study until tomorrow - need to get a quick study in then off to Mom's - am taking her for a meal and the theatre later and will go and have a play with my niece

    HHC from 1.30?
    I'd rather be watching CSI!
  • Ok, own up. Whos got my diary? I've looked everywhere - likely and unlikely places. As a result the LR is much much tidier! Only place not looked in is car, but that's extremely unlikely, and I'm still in my pj's :o so don't want to go outside.

    Filled in meter moving form.. £650... !! Slightly more than the £350 they quoted on the phone! So I need to speak with hubby about it.. apparently I am not allowed to spend such silly amounts of cash and make decisions which will affect everyone without consulting him first.. he'll regret that lol...

    Appointments made for DD5 for referral to physio, DS3 for referral to eye clinic and Peaches to be spayed.. and details sent to DS1 to make appointment with a solicitor.. erm... need to check my list.. and the WM's...

    Oh.. and my cleaner is starting next Tuesday so I need to clean my house this weekend!

    Here's the link for the Jamaica Ginger Cake Recipe for FlyladyFlower and anyone else who would like it - it's yummy and very light. It gets even better the second day cos the top goes sticky - wrap it in foil.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • Hi all, i've not been on here this wk as sadly my mum passed away sunday and cleaning has been the last thing on my mind. I have got the vicar coming up in the morning though so i am going to have to have a quick clean up tonight as i don't want to look like i live in a pigs sty. I will try and get back into things next wk as keeping busy seems to help. Mum battled with cancer for many many years without ever complaining and she gave her family such a wonderful life. I will always be greatful for the time we had. Now i am going to make some breakfast and force myself to get in the shower.

    Not caught up on the thread yet, but wanted to post my sympathies NMSC I can't imagine how you must be feeling, and wish I could do something to make things feel less painful for you. Hope the visit from the vicar went well. (((((hugs)))))
