    Just found my first flylady post here, although as you can see - I was a lurker for a while before I started posting.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    GnB - 2.gif Fantastic news; I take it you're going to go for it? I wish I'd carried on with my post grad stuff .......... :o

    Thanks, yes i'm going for it, i was pretty sure i was going to but i phoned my mum first to see what she thought before i agreed to do it. There is always the option to switch back to Honours after 3rd year if i dont get good enough grades. It is the same course until 5th year just with a much higher grading requirement for progression.
    Thank you to everyone else too, i really appreciate the support from you all.

    Cup cupboard all squeaky and clean and mucky mugs all handwashed, dried and put away again.

    I love kitchen day but with it always being on a Monday it's the only room that gets an enthusiastic clean.... Need to take a carload of stuff to charity shop / recycling then I can find the kitchen floor to clean it!! Then sort the dry washing which OH dumped on the table, then I'm going to put a table cloth on it as a nice background for photographing ebay stuff. I only listed 3 items last week but made a very welcome £50.

    I'm getting into my stride with the whole pedometer thing and am trackingmy steps on walkertracker.com which is an extra kick up the proverbial.

    In my HHC this morning I did the following...


    Washed all the bedding - fingers crossed it stays dry....

    Mine went really quickly on Amazon but be aware of postage costs for heavy textbooks and ask enough to cover postage. I lost out on a couple of huge books as they cost over £5 to post.

    Hugs mudbath I do feel for you. I am dreading the day when it happens here. We have 15yr old dog and 21 year old cat with a heart murmer hanging on here.

    Fingers crossed foryou pp
