msg -

soappie - congrats to DiL; definitely a 'bubbly' moment!

pigpen - hope you're feeling better

newby - good to have you back

boddy - hugs and prayers for your friend; I bank online and it's great - I signed up online too, they then sent me passwords in the post (I think - it was years ago!)

Natty - hugs

cally - who did you see?

Dusty - they're not swabbing down here

carlsberggal - hugs for you, DS and DN


Well work was a little manic today - out of my 25 staff, 7 were off sick!!! 2 classes had all their staff, I was one down and the other 3 classes were 2 down! And we have a member of staff with suspected SF as well as the pupil from earlier in the week :rolleyes: At this rate, the children will be running the school on Monday!

Really cross with Argos today,went in with my LO and saw a Roary garage he has wanted for ages ,was reduced in the sale to less than £10 from almost £40 so took it to the till (it was the last one ) he was so excited, bless him, to be told I couldnt buy it as it had been reserved half an hour earlier,fair enough but surely it should have been taken off the shelf straight away,cue one distraught little boy,he cried buckets.
I was really upset for him.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Im sure there are more people I wanted to mention I have sieve brain tonight and no Toots post to remind me either

Hugs to all

Just haven't been flying so couldn't post (beware flying mules)Plus trying to decide about contacting OU about tutor. Anyone else find if you have something you need to decide about you can't get on with anything else? Anyway I have phoned Regional Office so will have to see what happens.

I need a 'list of five'
1.[STRIKE] Find pedometer, realise battery has died[/STRIKE], get new battery
2. Finish setting up (not so) new camera
3. Find instructions and set up (definitely not new) DAB radio
4. Paint new fence - weather permitting
5. Do something/anything in garden

AuntyCrafty - dont you dare not post - I need to know you are around to keep an eye on me - I amsure you have washed dishes etc/ made your bed - thats all flying and this week you can do either the lists or the challenge and you have a challenge list but Yes I know what you mean about not being able to get on with other things when there is something to be dealt with - I am glad you phoned - maybe now they will deal with it.

I am bursting with motivation today, thanks to you all. After doing all the five things on this week's list,

I think its great that you are beginning to feel like your home is more comfortable and tidier - every little helps towards it ......... BUT HEY!!!!!! whats this .....just because you have done your list of 5 it doesnt mean you can show us all up and do another 5 ....hmmph.....thes newbies - they have far too much energy for the rest of us:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: WTG girl - if posting alist helps you get things done then you just keep at it ....:T:T:T:T

hex thats great that you have no 'work' to do - must be a good feeling
mudbath - hope DD hasnt caught it too - hugs for her friend.
TAG - its not you honey - its something to do withhow you access the threads I have come to the conclusion - I can get the button using this ID but not my ID for the stars and I am subscribed for it too!
fedup thats brilliant news about the second interview - you will be well rehearsed by then!
Jo WTG with the painting - I bet it looks great.:T:T:T
Valli thats excellent - I am sure you will do exceptionally well - I can feel it in me water :rotfl::rotfl: No wonder you are proud of your Ds thats a lovely report and nice of your sister to say so too - maybe its something that he would be good at???? or has he made choices for acareer?
What does he think of the day?
OrkneyStar - your phot brought back fond memories - thanks for posting - I lived in K for 4 years!
carlsberggal - you have done really well on that room - did you honestly believe me when i said you could do it WTG - now the next time you want to do something - break it down into little jobs that you you can tick of in no time at all - end reuslt? JOB DONE
big hugs for your niece - poor love. (((hugs))) for your horrid day.
greenbee - glad you had a good day after all and you got the shopping and have now done the cake - take time to relax and get to bed early - you dont want black bags under your eyes!!! A job nearer home for a wee while maybe just what you need so that you can get back on track.

Meant to ask can I change 1 of my 5 list,had a look at DS1s trousers and uniform he has only growm out of 2 pairs of trousers and decided to sort out his uniform nearer to Sept.

So today I cleared 2 black sacks of LOs clothes from the attic,sorted out some for DD1s friend who is having a little boy in 6 weeks and some into bundles for e-bay:eek::eek:

I have never sold on there before is it difficult?

:j:j:jAlso got baby bath and 1st stage car seat out for DD1,so 1 more from my list finished please Toots:j:j:j

I've started sewing up the cushion cover but it's going to take a lot longer than I thought, so I'm not going to get that one on my list, which means I won't get 2 either, and I'm not doing the accounts without having more information so can't do 3

5 things to do this week:
Sew up cushion cover (wedding present)
Write and give wedding card and wrap and give wedding present
Do Tim’s accounts twice this week for an hour each time
Stick number plate back on to car
Get window cleaner

Am going to do some mad flying tmrw morning as I have a flylady coming round, have never met one before so hope she won't be too shocked by my flat, it's by no means perfect! I feel more nervous than if a non-flylady was coming round!

Great news Fedup

Well done Jinky’s DD for doing her room

Well done Jo on finishing the LR, do you like it now

Aw Valli, how lovely to get such warm praise

Hugs Carlsberggal and niece

Kazw good to hear that your DH is going to get a new job

Greenbee, forget the gym and the steps, just focus on the wedding and you can start again with the fitness on Sunday

Hugs Frodders

I will have a think tomorrow and see if I can change some of my 5 things but I might just wait til next week and start again. I'm too tired to think right now

Not necessary - all flyladies understand... we live in real homes not show homes.

Have managed 3962 steps since 4pm when I put the pedometer on just by pottering. It doesn't include walking the dog this morning. I am encouraged! Though I've already sort of broken it:o I went to the loo, pulled me trews down and the thing dropped off onto the floor and broke apart. Fortunately, I was able to put it back together again. I might just find the gaffer tape and properly secure it...

I do this all the time as well! The first place I lose weight is around my waist, so all my clothes are loose there. The pedometer keeps moving and or falling. I'm sure its not registering the correct number (well, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it )

I'll say goodnight flyladies and have a lovely weekend. I'm off to Liverpool for the weekend. And the forecast is rain :mad:

See you on MOnday xx

Sorry peeps the whole idea of posting your list on monday was so that you would concentrate on getting them done and not putting them off any longer or changing them for easier ones!!!! NO changing of challenge lists! I am going to be strict on this now!!!!
