Still decorating between freecycling, it's the first time I have put anything on there & the response has been unbelievable, I still need to put more stuff on but I don't think I will get chance today.
Must go & put on the WM.TTFN

Hi honey - I am sorry I havent been in touch yet - dont know where the days are going - its good to hear your are having success with freecycle - that must be making a difference to your load to clear. Hope you are not overdoing the decorating though.

Thats a good idea Aunty crafty and we can encourage you - how long did the 1st par take you - can we work out a timetable for you to get you really motivated?

Woke up very early with a banging headache, which is still hanging around a bit, so think I will potter my way through the lists. Then, I have to go prom dress shopping with DD.

Hope the headache goes once you are on the go and what exciting shopping to be doing - we didnt have proms in my day - It would be lovely to get dressed up! And what lovely kind advice for toochoosey - what a super lady you are:A:A
toochoosey what about helping in a charity shop? Avon?
Penpen you have mail - 'fraid it doesnt work!
DDb I hope all your colleagues appreciate what you have done and that your day is better now.

ok I am doing the multiquote thingy so will be doing smaller posts!!

I just love my Kenwood Chef what the kids bought me for Christmas. I bought some whoopsied beef yesterday and have just turned it into mince which has been portioned and put in the freezer. It took longer to wash up the KC bits than it did mince the meat!

Crafty - I wish you luck!! All that greek and roman stuff huh?

Yup :cool:
Well, minus the language bit - I don't have either.
I enjoy the subject. Well it's better than maths (sorry G&B) Never like the assignments though.
TBH I am annoyed with myself - I have let hassles with the tutor get in the way of really getting into this year's course. It has affected my enjoyment and my level of work :mad:

Ooooh I am being soooo Old Style today! Remember that rhubarb I got given on Tuesday? Well, I decided that it might not last until Sunday and, as there was a cooking apple left from last Sunday, I am now making rhubarb and apple jam!

Hi everyone!:hello:

the flylady way has been something I've dipped in and out of over the last few years, but life is feeling increasingly chaotic so I need to get back in the programme. And I need you guys to help motivate me too!

I'll def be starting at Level 1 - do I just post when I've completed the tasks for that day?

Quick question, I have done a paella and put a splash of wine in it, then let it simmer for 5-10 mins, is that enough to get rid of the alcohol or do I need to walk up the school???

Unless you drank alcohol with your paella, you'll be nowhere near the drink-drive limit I'd advise you to walk, though, if you can

Soappie - well done I shall raise a glass or two of fermented crushed grapes this evening in your honour

Going to do another HHC 2:30 - 3:00; anyone want to join in?
