    I've washed up, kitchen looks much better now. I'm still working through the millions of roasting trays from the roast we had at the weekend :o but it's going down

    SSL nice to hear you are joining in the step thing, we are going to have some very slim and fit flyladies before long!

    Oooh, Tia, how exciting, baby will be here in 4 weeks! You must take it easy, I really hope your blood pressure behaves

    Boddy hope your DD’s leg is better soon, its dragging on isn’t it, the poor thing

    Well done Beki with your flying today

    Bevan I’m so glad to hear that DH is fine, what a relief for you both

    Hugs Triker

    I'm doing well with my steps today, got nearly 7, 000 so am really pleased

    Hello all - sorry to have been MIA this week - with the new job and dh not studying, combined with not having the laptop sitting around I've not managed to get on!

    Unfortunately haven't managed any flying really either and we're away this weekend. Hopefully will get a quick once over friday morning before we go and that will have to do for this week. I'm only justfinished my dinner tonight as i had girls' brigade straight after work.

    BUT, the new job is fab, I feel like my brain has woken from a long slumber and I'm getting stuck into projects. I think it is a good move for me both professionally and personally.

    I don't think I'm going to manage to catch up this week but I'll skim the last couple of pages and see what I can glean!

    Soappie has two tips of the day:

    Tip No. 1. Make sure that when you're standing on a chair spraying the bathroom ceiling with mildew stuff you make sure your mouth is closed and you're wearing goggles. And remember, the residue falls like rain and will catch you a few seconds later.

    Tip No. 2. When you're watering the garden because even though we had rain yesterday the tomato plants look v thirsty, you stand DOWN WIND of the gentle hose spray - not up wind.

    From a rather damp and slightly bleached Soappie....
    Noted!;)


    How can someone possibly not see a huge basket of wet washing in the kitchen - only a little room mind! DD has stepped over and around the blessed basket all day and was asked on the phone to hang the washing out at lunch time - her response when I saw when I got home 'I did not see it there' - :mad: HOW........ I am at a loss for words - well nearly - had enough words to get her to hang it out but not sure it will dry as the clouds look like rain...... bar humbug - didn't want to use the dryer - it is the summer after all......

    OHs suffer from similar problems in my experience...

    That's so good to hear Rach - flying can go hang for a bit (or be delegated ;)) while you settle in. I know how tiring it is the first couple of weeks in a new place.
