    A few tips from a Cub-Camp-old-timer (as both parent and leader) ;-)

    I've printed those off - they'll come in handy for when my DS goes on his camp!

    Bit tired and bleary here, so forgive if I've missed anything important:

    Soappie ~ thank you for being star lady, hope you have a good break

    Valli ~ thank you for taking over

    Pigpen ~ hope your antibiotics start to have some effect...your dd1 sounds a real star

    LadyL ~ sending my good thoughts and wishes for your scan results

    Lil Me ~ hope you feel better soon

    Toots ~ you're in my thoughts and prayers.

    Okay I'm off to bed now, thank you so much for your encouragement this week....I may only have one star so far, but I no longer have an ironing mountain looming in my life and this makes me a much more cheerful flybaby!

    Evening all

    My plans for a chilled day went belly up today but there's always tomorrow! Ended up going to help out a friend who isn't well this morning as her DH was going out and she has 2 small children. She ended up basically collapsing/going paralysed just after lunch and we had to call an ambulance. So, I spent the rest of the afternoon in A&E. She texted a while ago to say she is being kept in so hopefully that means they are getting to the bottom of things!

    So flying needs to be done tomorrow, plus a food shop of some description. I also need to pick my car up as I ended up leaving it at hers (other side of town) - would appreciate good vibes for her (and also for my car as DH is worried about it being left on the road there overnight)

    Vibes on their way to your friend Rach - and her LOs
    stars updated up to press - smiley dancers for those with 5 and highlights for those edited by me...
    (and I have been honest with mine or else I'd have 5;))
    Just so you know I am usually out on a Sat am - but should be around most of the day...not least because I have laundry to do - (TD has been called in to service it's been so wet).
    Sleep well all and peaceful sleep vibes for our stressed and not well flyladies...in particular our very own Toots and Piggers and Lady Liberty...healing vibes to Quillion too and Rach's friend.
    Happy and restful hols to Soappie.

    I am proud to be a flylady!

    Signing off and shutting down - see you tomorrow.

    Just watched it :eek::eek::eek::eek:
    How long will we have to wait for the next series?

    No idea - whatever you do don't google it! The amount of spoilers are amazing! They better get the team back together... Can't be doing with the thought of no ziva, tony or mcgee!:eek:

    Just have to add I'm loving my iPhone - laying here on the sofa postingthis while watching Paycheck from the other night and I'm not having to mess around with wires or anything :D
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    blueberrypie wow thanks!! What a great list. You have also put my mind a little more at rest, seeing how much you care and remembering these volunteers do it because they enjoy it. They have a hike planned so he has walking boots for that, saves me remembering to take them with me to the caravan. We'll be away for another 4 days when he gets back but got a comfy bed in the caravan and showers on site. He has a 'ready bed' so we're going to show him how to blow it up. I had ordered a battery torch but will look for a wind up one. Thanks again :)
    Justamum thanks, DS2 said there is one in his cubs book so maybe the same?
    rach that sounds really scary, I hope your friend is ok and they find out what is causing it for her, will keep her in my thoughts. I am sure the car will be ok, tell DH it's insured so stop worrying (mine would be the same!)
    Valli, I did 3 :( please can I have 3 :D because I've got fluff all chance of getting a dancer lol

    Well I have tried to sleep 3 times, can't. Think I might have some Benylin then try again.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
