No flying for me today, AF came and beat me up last night so I feel very crapola and weak and rubbish. I also woke halfway through the night absolutely drenched in sweat (sorry if tmi ), I mean hair wet through ....wierd and horrible. OH said he didn't think it was hot last night and he's the first to complain if it feels too warm.

Anyway's done nowt 'cept make tea and take painkillers. Will attempt to crawl back on the fly wagon tomorrow. Need to as I'm away at weekend so I need some kind of order.;)

Hi Jo, Don't know if the attached is of any use:- http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=19076075&postcount=964
Near the bottom of the post is a video for knitting, not looked at it so not sure if it is suitable.

Rosepink, GTX, Toots, I was in on the HHK & didn't even realise, I've just put my knitting down & come back on here.

Going to bed now, nite.
Hugs to everyone who is in need,

ETA funfairprincess - remember what I said about the lists - If you dont have something on the list then it gets deleted - e.g. clean out pets - well if no pets no cleaning out done - delete!
the same applies to you here - you dont have 100 things so delete! Its not that you are not doing it its that you physically dont have them so you cant! Excellent upbringing you have had - very thrifty!!! xx

I don't know about thrifty Toots my friends say I'm stereotypically Scottish without the drink!!

Please may I have a Wednesday star then Toots as that was the last thing on my list. Off to bed happy happy happy!!!!

I'm a bit behind until the inlaws !!!!!! off tomm:beer:

MIL seems to regard housework as something novel that happens to other people, and frequently watches my nightly floorsweeping routine with the air of one watching a wildlife programme.

Evening all

Been stuck in all day waiting for the delivery (seriously needed to get out of here today )of my new TFT The time slot was 7am to 6pm, fortunately it arrived before the afternoon school run. As a result of all the waiting in I just about finished the ironing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I swapped monitors oer so Miss A has hers back. Still getting used to this new one as it is a widddddddddddddde screen one.

Swimming lesson for W went as usual in so much as he pranced up and down the pool most of the time :rotfl: He will be in for a shock when he starts with the new male teacher in a couple of weeks :eek:

I would love the bird glass decoration thingies if you want to declutter them, pm me your address so I can send you postage money. Thank you.

I thought you lot would think I was nuts, writing about birds flying into my clean windows!!:rotfl:

There is an obvious solution to this, do as I do...................... don't wash the windows :rotfl:

SarahS huge hugs for you and DD

Toots you do NOT need chocolate, I feel it is my duty as a friend to help you with your mission, send me all your chocolate immediately and I will dispose of it for you :rotfl:

Right all caught up for now and off to bed.
