    Hi everyone
    To keep up with what Penny has brought up, I have deleted all personal details which I have for anyone on MSE, and can I please request that anyone who happens to have them for me does the same with my details?

    I didn't and don't mean to offend anyone, just trying to keep up with rules when I find out about them.


    Mudbath, if you still can't find the keys by the end of the day, I really would suggest calling a locksmith. Sorry if it sounds a bit dramatic but my brother once left our front door keys in the door and they were taken by someone, we had the locks changed and 2 nights later were woken by someone trying the old keys in the lock. Very scary, but could have been considerably worse if we hadn't changed the locks.

    Ugh back to revision... Mozzy (and anyone else who speaks german) will understand AGGGGGGHHHHHHH £$%^£%£$ CASES!!!!!

    Declutter the floors

    Keys - look in wellies and trouser pockets and under sofas.

    Ironing - listen to radio 4 at the same time!

    Thanks to Michelle and Rach and everyone else for the new job vibes, I got the job. I am overjoyed as management at my place are bonkers!
    I can go back to loving teaching, unfettered. Hurrah! Off to declutter Sauvignon Blanc!

    Toots - i've checked all those places. This is driving me insane!!

    Carol - I am starting to think they might have been taken from the door. Our friend is a lonk smith so might have to give him a ring. Bollox!!!!!! The chances of them being taken are slim but then it only takes one dishonest person pushing something through the door and who knows......I'M TOTALLY MAD AT MYSELF!!!

    Hi, not caught up, sorry about that.

    It's been a bit of a day today. Had a bit of a meltdown this morning, I won't bore you with the details, but the upshot is that I got an appointment at the doctors this afternoon, and he's signed me off work. He's also advised me and DH (who was with me at the appointment) to think very carefully about if I really need to keep working. As he said health and happiness is worth far more than money. I just can't cope in the working enviroment. It makes me more ill than I really need to be, and so I agree with him that I might have to just be a full time flylady (not that he said flylady!). I can still do my voluntary work, which I can fit in around my illness, and that will mean I will get out of the house.

    So that's whats happened today. Need to go and pick up my car this evening from my friend's house. I left it there this morning, she called DH to come and pick me up as I was with her when I had my problem.

    I feel very tired and my brain is not working at all, but I'm so relieved that I don't have to go to work tomorrow!

    I liked what someone else had said a few months ago about counting how many lines Joyce Barnaby has! I think they used to bet on it!

    Twas I, grateful!

    Take the number of corpses and multiply by Mrs Barnaby's lines. Never ever in three figures!

    Juliejim thanks for good luck vibes. x
