    I have about 4 months of the list to catch up on!!

    That's nothing I have about 3 yrs worth to catch up on :eek::eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:and you think I am kidding! Hence my dot to dot approach :p

    And now I am off to take W for his swimming lesson having dispatched Miss A to her residential trip with school this morning :D

    HUGS to everyone this morning :)

    Oh and LL there is no such thing as using up your flylady vibes quota, did you not know they are like love and cuddles the more you give the more there are to give and receive ;)

    Have a good one girls (and boys, where the heck have they got to? :confused:) catch up later today.

    Morning all
    Well I woke to sunshine so stripped the bed so I could put WM on after my shower.
    We now have heavy cloud and the threat of rain.:mad:



    I have been lurking all week, but apologise to anyone I miss.

    Toots –:hello: hope you slept well in your own bed.
    Pigpen – hugs for you all and healing vibes for Hazel
    LilySue – I think there are several flyladies with experience of fighting councils, education authorities etc. who would be willing to offer help if needed.
    L-L – hugs
    SiannieLaz – If you did all that yesterday that is a very impressive ‘displacement activity’ Beats wandering round the internet which is mine.:o
    Frodders – slow down. Hope the arm is easier this morning
    Soappie – great news on the mortgage
    MOF77 – Huge hugs and coping vibes coming your way.

    Just worked out that I need to apply flylady principles to studying. I wasted too much time yesterday flitting between books. I need to work through one at a time noting the information I need.


    OK :coffee:drunk. Must move and do something constructive.
