    Morning all we have sunshine :j:j

    First wash is on the line, second in the machine, third on the bedroom floor ready sorted. Aim is to spot clean the carpet, have a shower and finish my list this morning, then gardening/shopping for the rest of the weekend. Also need to finish 4 ebay listings and get them all live.

    MOzzy sorry you are not feeling better today, take care

    Triker how is DD1 coursework coming along

    Mudders hope all goes well for your Dad

    Lilysue hope your eye gets better soon

    Jill Have a fab day

    SSL glad you don't have mumps. One of my concerns with the whole MMR thing was that children would stop getting it and then when the immunity from the jabs wore off they would get it as adults. I'm guessing though that you are not quite young enough to have been part of the immunization program?

    MOFF hugs hun, I'm glad your son is getting lots of support from your community, think of those boys who were so badly beaten last week by their peers, these girls need stopping whatever their backgrounds



    Geocaching - glad so many of you are having fun with it. I need to get some days out organised and plan some new cache's to find and go back to the illusive one (DS2 loves to dirtboard there so won't be a wasted trip)

    well TAG the camel took it's time taptaptap_sml.gif - finally half an hour ago he got up :rolleyes:
    without a word, went to shout at the kids and sat in his office with his breakfast for another 30min - then did actually put the already folded clothes away and took his dirty ones downstairs into the washing basket ....

    meantime I did:
    tidy kids bedrooms, made their beds, wiped down furniture, did our bedroom once dh was up, watered all the plants, scrubbed bathroom incl. floor, tidied lounge and playroom, cleaned downstairs toilet, un/reloaded dw, s/s oven+hob,

    estate agent just rang if we could do the viewings later - nope, we won't be here :D

    all left to do: clean smudges off windows in playroom, sweep all downstairs, last touches

    Morning all :wave:

    :Alovely, happy, healthy vibes to all flyladies, friends and family :A

    Well I'm glad to say I dont have mumps. Just a horrid virus. I saw a young GP yesterday and she had never seen a case of mumps until now. Bizarre eh?

    There is a fairly good mumps outbreak at the mo.. they've not got this one traced back to anywhere yet.. last one here was traced to a wednesday night at a nightclub!! another we know of was traced to leicester uni!!

    Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment about clothes sizes. It made a huge difference to DD2. I don't know about your children, but mine always seem to want to hear it from someone else before they'll believe it! So she was much relieved to hear what you'd all said. Thank you. :T:A

    Glad she is feeling better about being tall and slim and beautiful!..

    Fugging binmen.........woke me up at 7, they were sposed to have been here yesterday, our bin wasn't out. Rarrrrrr. I'm awake with a full bin.:wall:

    Same here - when it's a bank hol they usually come a day later - hence waking me up on a saturday morning with the crashing and banging they do... :mad: Mind, like MOJ2, they didn't come at all last week????
    I was very lucky to get back to sleep this time for once, I was knackered though... think I'm coming down with something... :(

    OK, still a big list to do, won't re-post as it takes up too much space, but have just sat and decluttered some toast and tea, am currently sitting watching the qualifying (taped it this morning as knew I couldn't get up...;)) and will then get showered and dressed as I need to go draw out some money for the computers to be repaired - £77 - but cheaper than buying new ones...

    Well I've done 2 HHIs while I've watched Quincy so now I'm off to get dressed.

    Anyone fancy another HHC 11 - 11.30? I should be dressed by then!

    Morning everybody
    it was nice not to have to get up at an early hour and rush around.

    Soappie well done getting up for DS - hope he has a good catch when he comes home - what sort of fish will it be do you know?
    MOF77 thanks for the update - the building will be worth it in the end - you will cope!! And great news about DS at least the boys parents seem decent and are trying to rectify the situation - as for the girl's mother and not telling the SS - if the case is going to be prosecuted then the SS will hear about it anyway so there is nothing she can do. And YES you must put your family first much as you want to be kind to them. Good luck again with the cigs - maybe it wasnt the right time and the uuni thing was a huge disappointment but you will bounce back (((hugs)))
    wendywitch dont knock yourself you have done well this week- and good for you for sticking to your guns re hubby - if its not right for you then dont be bulldozed back into it. (((hugs)))
    great TAG - hope the sleep pattern keeps improving - just seen your post re the car - good idea to break it up and sell as spares - they snap up bits on ebay if DH can take it apart? hope you get something sorted for getting to work.
    shazba - oh the poor things - she will be exhausted - hope nephew arrives safely today - he is too comfy and cosy in there!!!!
    SSl - great news that its not mumps - have a great day sussing out the competition!
    moonflower well done to you - its great when it all comes together. When you are posting - the box up above that shows a '2' has a little down arrow - if you click that you will get the bigger font - highlight what you want to increase first and then click the size - its just the same as changing the colour - you maybe need to 'go advanced' to see it. HTH.xx
    morning pigpen - how are you and how are the assignments going?

    have had breakfast and have a list of things that need attending to -
    have deleted 135 emails on freecycle while having my breakfst and replied to one so that might be another bit out of the house.

    will get the washing on and then go to town - the first time this week - thr RT is def stopping me spending!!! then I will be ebayimng and I am going to NOF for the afternoon.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

  • Well Dustkitten you must have been to my house this morning - Have just spot cleaned the sitting room carpet.

    Second load in W/W and third sitting on the kitchen floor waiting, need to do shopping but may not go, just off to have a shower and

    Sort out more clutter - several bags at the front door awaiting freecycle collection.

    Hurrah

    Over 110 so far this week, more to find, onwards throw it out. This is great,I never throw things out.
