Its just as well Valli honey that I know you are only joking - i wouldnt offend you for the world xx It did give me a chuckle to think of you posting to get moved up the list!!! Ok whats been happening with you - either do me a quick re-cap or send me an email - I am guessing soemthing has happened to DS - is he ok or is he just being a teenager again? i wish you were nearer - I need ironing done!

1 step if you go back now and re-post your list with only whats left you will see you have done loads and loads - well done - you should be well chuffed!:T

Soappie - I owe you a huge apology - i was so busy posting thanks and being back I forgot to say THANK YOU to you for taking over the stars - you have done a fabulous job although a little bird tells me you have been generous on occassion giving stars and i thought you were a force not to be trifled with - dont tell me you have mellowed:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:or has Gordon been twisting your arm again? And whats this about chickens

have had my 15 mins total chill out.
have checked the washing and its alsmost all dry and none will need ironing so off to make something to eat.
back in a bit
toots xx

Not flying today, but have decluttered pretty much all of my first lot of exam marking, hurrah!

Hello Toots!

Nice to finally meet you. I propely joined the flylady this week although I managed some last week and believe I have a star (yay).

I work full time and was resenting doing all the housework at weekends and having no time to myself..........hubby does help when asked, but only what he can "see" if you see what I mean!

I think I will be concentrating on getting one star a week for a while and having a good declutter, oh and doing levels 1 for other rooms rather than try it all in one go. Then it should all get easier - although I have found myself admiring my kitchen/diner! (How sad)

any I have me time planned for this evening so will see you all tomorrow!

Take care
