    Why do everyones post show the time an hour later than it really is?? :confused:

    I woke up at 6 but refused to get up and nodded back off :D finally up at 7.20 cos the dog was crying. Now I'm having coffee before I wake the girls up.
    DD2 is going out with her father today :eek::eek::eek: amazing! And DD1 and I are going to Primark - "I NEED a cardy for school mum" :think:
    When we get home it'll be work, work, work as there's loads still to do.

    Morning everyone

    My mental maths this morning - and so early too! Here we are, a pie chart of flylady ages. The majority of us are in the 36-45 age range

    ages.jpg

    And just for Dusty - a pork pie!

    pork%20pie.jpg

    A word of caution ladies and gents - don't type 'pie' into google then click on the images results when there are little ones around. :eek:

    Shocked I was. Shocked I tell you.

    But I have learnt a new meaning of the phrase 'cream pie' :rolleyes2

    I am going to fly big time today. I have done very little all week. I am determined to get to level 2 for each day if not at least one star


    .
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Ooops the pie came out a little bit too big and I can't seem to resize it. Sorry!

    Morning flypeople

    My family have gone to see my MiL for the day, so I've got the place to myself:j Shall I tidy it up or just make a mess?

    Hugs to Froddy and Pigpen and anyone else who needs one.

    I think I'll do some decluttering and visit the allotment to plant seed potatoes. I do live the high life! But I had a wonderful posh afternoon tea yesterday so mustn't grumble.

    BTW I should have been in the 46-55 slice of the pie but I also occasionally migrate to the 95+. Not today though! Thanks for the idea soappie - it was interesting, people's ages don't always show on the thread (apart from massive clues like grown up children) and I reckon we're all young at heart.

    DD3's been staying at my mother's this week. It's been quiet here, nice... but I've really missed her. She's back this morning. :j :j
