    Morning all

    Up and about early and just about to leave as we're training this morning and I need to pick up some of the food on the way. First time we've led this particular course and first time i've trained with this particular colleague so flylady vibes welcome!

    at least with the kids rooms I can ignore todays list. Hope to fly in at least the bathroom and do some washing tonight. DH has been a star and has done all the washing up each night this week and last night sorted the Mr T order as I was out.

    pigpen - i have good news re baby stuff, sent you a PM
    soappie - hope you feel better after a day of pottering

    have a good day all xx

    Hope everyone had a good night's sleep and are ready for the day.

    Hopefully things will be calmer here today, after yesterday's water extravaganza!!

    Welcome back Dusty :wave: hope you had a lovely break. :)

    AnWsMum I hope you're feeling a little better today. I'm sorry if I contributed to you feeling down.... :( I'm not man bashing, just being honest about the way things are for me right now. :(

    Off to take something out of the freezer for dinner.

    Morning All

    Tried to get on earlier but it was closed for maintenance!

    Hope everyone's feeling better this morning. I have done a bit of school work this morning instead though but I've still got some more to do. Froddy and Serena - we'll have to do a HHP later in the day - I bet valli's already done all hers.

    Will be taking the kids out at some point today but don't know when or where yet.

    Have a good day all

    Jue

    ETA Not Serena she's off gallivanting isn't she!

    Triker - that's why when I buy white goods I buy from stock and take them home straight away!
    .

    Where do you buy from Soappie? I need guidance.

    Well its my day off, had an awful nights sleep, might as well get going.

    Need to square up the house. The dirty clothes monster keeps vomiting mucky clothes out around the house, I don't get it.:confused: Where do they all come from.

    Hope you feel better soon Soappie. Otherwise I'd have a duvet day if I was you.;) x

    Soappie - definitely a duvet day - take care of yourself and don't do too much - bet the TD won't be on today.

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    Triker, I usually go to Comet. There's one only a couple of miles away and I'm fortunate that I have a 4x4 where the back seats roll forward so most things will fit in it. OK, they may not be the cheapest but when you take into account that there's no need to spend a whole day waiting in for delivery or 3 weeks waiting for delivery the extra cost is worth it!
