    Mudbath, wow there's a DFW memory, I'm chanting away 'money is coming easily to me and all flyladies and gents':rotfl: :T


    Right my Remoska has died but replacement on its way from Lakeland :T , made a curry and about to get the rice on.

    Trying to do a grocery challenge, went to Asda last night with OH and stocked up. So cupboards are full and trying to meal plan.

    We'll be having our christmas dinner soon, probably thursday night, turkey defrosting at the mo. :D Got about 3 christmas puddings, and we all don't like them :o . Should be fun. Might go the whole hog and make everyone wear paper hats.:rotfl: :xmassign: :rudolf: _party_

    Evening everyone

    Dusty - hope you're all better soon - love the poem about the cat!
    Mudbath - I second your mantra!

    Boy, it's windy and getting cold out there. I swear it was trying to snow when I left work up in the hills away from the coast.

    Have just lumbered myself with writing a 'business case' for setting up a new group to mop up some spare funding and divvy it out to worthy causes amongst the community. I have a whole four days in which to do it (which, given I work full time is a challenging timescale to say the least!). Ho hum, wish me luck and inspiration please!

    DD may be getting the keys to her new flat tonight so I'm hoping she'll pop round to declutter the front room for me.

    Meanwhile, I'm off to Dyson the living and clean the inside of the windows - the rain is making a very good job of cleaning them outside for me!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Woke up from my nap choking on sick. This sometimes happens due to my tummy problems but isn't a very nice way to wake up!
    Not going to do any more flying today as am still feeling awful.
    Going out to see IL's now so see you all later
    Well done to all who have done any flying today, you are doing well

    hello ive tried to join in here for age, but never really 'got' what was going on. I joined the flylady yahoo group and get about 20 emails a day, and think I am slowly 'getting' it. Tomorrow, I will be dressed to shoes (!) and I will lay my clothes out before I go to bed. Small steps for me! Hope to join you properly soon :)

    ((((hugs)))) for Rosepink. That's not nice...

    It's cold, windy, wet and horrible outside. And I have to go out and extract a box of books and DVDs from the garage to take to work for fundraising tomorrow.

    I also need to get my stuff ready so that I get up and go to the gym at the crack of dawn (silly me, I thought the weather was improving and I'd be able to get up bright and early without a problem from now on :rolleyes: ).

    I should go to yoga, but I'm too tired. I'm going to get my bedroom sorted out so I have somewhere to sleep, get my stuff ready for tomorrow, have some food and a bath and by then it'll probably be midnight anyway!

    Welcome Jamtart.

    Toots & Pigpen will be along soon to welcome you properly. You'll probably be relieved to here that we're not quite up to the standard of the US Flylady site... you're allowed to fly in your PJs if you want to, as long as you have something productive to report each time you come back here to catch up on the gossip ;)

    Check out post one for all the guidelines, and we look forward to hearing from your more in future!
