    Yay, finally finished all the ironing before we go away tonight :)(Can I have a little heart when you get time toots :)) Now just need to sort out what we're taking with us.

    Got a little sunburnt yesterday, but not hurting yet so not worrying about it, just a little pink :) Got all of the washing done yesterday, just need to strip the bed and re-make before we leave so that when we get back in the early hours of Sat morning we have a bed to sleep in :) (DH has just lost Wii bowling against his 6yr old son!!! :rotfl:)
    Plan for today is kitchen and bathroom so that we have a cleanish house to come home to :) Haven't read through as want to get on and do the jobs, hope everyone is well xxxxxx

    ETA I read that something had happened with toots so went to find the post, I'm very sorry to hear the news toots and if there is anything I can help with I will try. I don't know where you are but if you are close I can come and help with a few things if needed, I am up for the meet but don't know where AnWsMum is either, but can aim for next summer :) Hope your awap xx

    Soappie - I will send you a PM with my number.

    I am going to see toots soon. My little one is going to spend two weeks with his grandparents. We are flying up to Scotland at the beginning of the Summer holidays, but two weeks later, I will be driving up to collect him.

    I had already arranged to meet toots at some point, and if you can make your way to South Wales, I would be more than happy to drive you and Beffy Boo to Scotland and back again.

    Seems rude not to take your advice, :D although I should at least get something done before I go.

    I have a real job getting anything done when everyone is in the house, their presence bugs me, anyone find that?:rotfl:

    Yep! Nothing like flying solo!!!!

    Toots that happened to me with phone calls last week and it is bl@@dy annoying!

    Showered and dailies done. Campers are due back in 30 minutes so going to tackle the last job on my list before I'm ambushed, it is amazing how quickly 24 hours can go!

    Please may I join you next week? I used to do flylady some years ago but fell off the wagon and I'm hoping this thread will help me get back into some sort of routine. I live in a tiddly little 2 up/2 down so its not like I've got acres of carpets to vac or anything; ;)

    Health problems and the recent hot weather have knocked me for six - any visitors walking in here right now would probably think I'd been burgled :D
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    I know toots, I thought about it but DH rang me and said get your shoe's on we're going to the park, considered sun cream but ran out the door first, it's not bad and isn't hurting atleast, just a little pink on my thighs, put aftersun on last night and about to put some more on now *hand slapped*
    DH is now on anti biotics to get rid of the infection and the tooth will be pulled out a week on monday, they originally booked him in for Friday :eek: and he didn't think to change it seeing as we will be driving back from Cornwall on Friday night! durr lol so told him to go back and change it so it's now on the Monday after at 9:45.
    Scotland isn't too far away :) I'm much closer than if I was still living in Cornwall :D hehe

    Mum's got lots of treats planned apparently! And I'll be coming home ith a new hair cut!! :D :Last time I had it cut was a yr ago last week!! Haven't had the time/money to do it, so as I'm in Cornwall I'm going to my normal haridresser :) Once you find one you like you like to stick with them, 400 mile trip to get my hair cut! :rotfl: What else she has planned I have no idea!! I'm just looking forward to seeing them all :D So I'll probably be back next weekend but will try and pop on Mum's laptop during the week :)

    (If there are any letter's missin from words it is because my keyboard is kn*ckered!! And need a new one!)

    Happy Flying to all this week (will give Mum a hand while down there )
