    toochoosey the dot to dot is AnW's Mum's way of tackling her house - she says its like a bombsite but personally i dont believe her - but she is treating areas or hotspots as another'dot' and she clears and cleans them and tries hard to keep them tidy and then moves on to another 'dot' - trying to join them up so that she eventually gets a tidy room and a tidy house - hope that makes sense!

    food scoffed and stars updated - news read - off to do some of the kitchen

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    wasnt me honey - i was having the same problem - I think it was toochoosey who was doing all the printing!

    IThis morning i received a little surprise package from 'a flylady' - it made me smile - but i dont know who to thank - and thats a shame - I really did think it was Mudbath as there was a spotty dog bookmark - I think thats a good clue but she denies all knowledge!!!! Anyway whovever sent it THANK YOU for being so thoughtful and kind and sweet. It made my day!!! xxxxx (but you really shouldnt be wasting your money on me!!!)

    organized home print outs - under the planner you want to print, there is a link in tiny writing which says 'printable version.' Click on this and it will give a printable version.

    toots - it wasnt me, but just wanted to add that was a lovely thing to do and dont be so daft! Things like that are never a waste of money if you make someone happy xx

    ETA - sexymouse - best of luck for tomorrow xx

    This made me laugh so much! I can just imagine the conversation:
    "Care for another G&T Froddington?"
    "That would be marvellous Soappie, thanks so much old bean"
    "This pub is great, what a good choice Froddington"
    "Why thank you XXJoXX"

    To be truly posh, it would go like this:

    "Care for another G&T Frodders old chum"
    "That would be tickety boo thanks Soaps"
    "This pub is marvellous Frodders"
    "Why thanks Jo-sypooo"
    "Oh and Natters - do mind young Jet there, he's after the local fillies"

    ~all together~ "Cheers - down the hatch" :beer:
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    No probs :D I think someone else was talking about the household planners and how to organise your housework, rather than the menu planners that I was on about. It is a fab site ;)
