    It is sooo quiet on here!
    Just watching ER, the big kid at heart camp that collapsed has the same heart condition my daughter has!
    Ooooh, that's what I can do today! Catch up on ER! Yay! :D

    I'm having a pj day today, really really need to let my brain relax. Will do gentle flying - especially washing up

    Back from DS3 assembly which was lovely. I so need a cuppa now and then I hope to have a productive couple of hours.

    Need to start by portioning and freezing two reduced chickens I brought yesterday.

  • OK - first HHC - HHI & 2 lots of washing done & onto line

    quick cuppa then the next HHC

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Hi to all

    Lots of you have sent me messages and just want you all to know the same thing. I’m fine I really am. Like most of you, for someone who manages as much as Pigpen does I have a lot of admiration for her.

    But we all have stuff going on in our lives; it doesn’t entitle you to treat other people like that just cos you’re having a hard time. By her own admission she hadn’t even read the thread properly, saw my post and drew her own, incorrect conclusions.


    For the record and anyone else who was on the list and is concerned – I will repeat again – as only some posts and some parts of posts are being read! I HAVE NOT SENT OUT THE LIST TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE.

    Everyone has sent me lots of messages saying not to let this upset me and I know what they are saying – that’s just Pigpen’s way. Well that’s fine that can be her way. But I don’t need to be dragged down by someone I don’t know and have never met - and all because I tried to do something nice.

    Sorry, but no. Cleaning and organising my house doesn’t merit being spoken to like that.
    Ill write my own lists. As much as I love everyone else, I can’t put up with it.

    I’m in the process of cutting all the carp out of my life and this thread was sanctuary where I didn’t have to put up with other peoples bullying. I’m not taking it from anyone else, so I don’t see why I need it from a stranger xxx

    Pigpen - you do lots of good things for people but your and bull-in-a-china-shop, 'I can say what I like attitude to who I like and how I like’ is too much for me.


    Penny did nothing wrong, and I have sent her a PM as she contacted me apologising that she was worried she had upset me. I thought about doing the same for pigpen, and telling her that she had misunderstood, but I’m sure it would fall on deaf ears so didn’t really see the point xx

    Take care all xx

    I've been trying Bento,
    Changed the loo roll (appears to be exclusively my job that one):mad:
    What is Bento?

    I have found a way to only have to change the loo roll once every few months. We get those huge packs of loo rolls and we don't have a loo roll holder on the wall, when we got married we were given one that sits on the floor and has room for 3 loo rolls stacked on top of each other. Well, i just put the whole lot out at once, all 18 loo rolls. They sometimes reach up to nearly the ceiling but it stops me getting annoyed by discovering when I'm on the loo that DH has used up all the loo roll!

    Grateful, ETA means Edited To Add – it means that on this thread, but in other contexts it usually means Estimated Time of Arrival

    Tag, glad to hear you have a new house and so much furniture for free/very little money! You should get a special MSE award!

    Jo, please don’t leave. You had good intentions and wanted to do a really nice thing and I think it’s all been a big understanding. Please don’t stop posting, you are a valuable part of our flylady community

    mOZzy - just got your name!

    Sorting is just as important as flying, once you've sorted you can fly more succesfully - I'm just dot to dotting myselft - a bit like a mozzy in flight biting people
