    Morning all, well foggy here too....waaaahhhh where's the bright blue sky's gone.



    Piggers.......much love and I'll convert all those hugs into a real one and probably squish you to death.:happyloveand I DON'T CARE how much you don't want one, you're getting one.....kay.:D:p



    Lil me well done on getting through the conference.....sounded gruelling but yey, it's done.:T


    Going for the friday fling frenzy ala Triker household today.

    Eldest DD still suffering the after effects of that virus, but I'm insisting that she goes into school this afternoon as she has 2 weeks off and exams when she gets back. I want to make sure she doesn't miss out anything.

    Youngest DD went into school for her first full day back yesterday.......got a phone call to say that she had fallen out of a tree....:confused: (mucking about with her friends).
    Cue evening spent in A & E, Xrays and a very badly sprained ankle._pale_:wall:.

    Thank gawd it wasn't broken, but she's not going to school today and we were told to monitor it.


    So I think its fair to say that I'll be really glad to put this week behind us as I'm sure many flyladies and gents would no doubt agree.

    Daft question but what about our lists if the forum is down, what do we do....?


    Right best get going, got blood tests booked for 10am then work.

    Only flying I managed yesterday was to put 2 empty loo rolls innards in the bin.:D


    Hope you all have a lovely day and will no doubt see you all on facebook.:D:dance:

    Ok, first HHC completed!!! Sitting room, kitchen, hall and bathroom are now all clear of "dodgy debris" :rotfl:

    It's just the floors and wiping for those rooms now (before the children get into them, that is :rolleyes:

    Embb, tell me about it! The home ed's ok when I have no jobs on, but when I have to do a giganto clean, like today,well, he spends lots of time learning about lego, drawing and the Wiii :o. I don't feel too guilty though, because we don't really take time off on the weekends and we don't take big holidays either. It's such an easy-going approach, he doesn't even notice that he's learning.

    Next HHC at 10. On to the "big" rooms, meaning the ones that are hideously skadgy (not a real word, but it describes them well) my room, Owen's room and the junk room. :(

    Morning all, just checking in. We are still bumbling along tidying and cleaning as we go. It's a busy weekend this weekend as I have my skittle do tonight and my wife's boss retirement do this weekend. It's going to be a squaree dancing do and I have to go and get something tartan to wear (or was that tarty ? lol) for both of us.

    Still haven't heard from the union and have been rubbish keeping up with th thread this week. As the forums will be down soon all I will say is love and hugs to all that need them and welcome to the newbies. Off to declutter a cup of tea and then will get on properly.
