    Hi all

    Sounds like a lot of hugs anre needed on here today.

    Mudbath - Massive hugs to your LOs. I am terrified of mine getting SW :( Hope you are all better soon. Have you got people to get your shopping and bits for you or do you need some help - not sure where you are in the country but there might be people around to help if your stuck.

    Nickflo - Massive hugs to you too hun. Your not a sad case at all ((hugs))

    DustyKitten - Poor you having to make a decision like that :( I am bad at making decisions. Hope things work out for you and LO.

    xx_Jo_xx - Well done on the 2 ebay items !!

    Quillion - Hi hun !!

    Love to everyone else - I can't keep up with all the posts and personals !!

    T xx
  • I get the flylady routines etc as I know the site, but not sure what participation involves. Is it writing down my own targets for the week, or day by day? I work full time so during the week I do the minimum - mostly kitchen and living room, but I would like to do more. And I definitely need a night time routine to put in place to make mornings less stressful!
    I saw two shooting stars last night
    I wished on them, but they were only satellites
    It's wrong to wish on space hardware
    I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

    Hi all embarassed to say I have done absoloutly (sp) NO flying since this morning smiley-ashamed007.gif AND I had a surprise visitor this afternoon who has only just gone. So now its time to get dinner on then start the bed/bath routine.

    ALSO I hate to say it but the blueberry cake was poo smiley-confused002.gif BUT I think this is more to do with my lack of proper ingredients than the recipe. Taste is ok but deff not light and fluffy like it is supposed to be (in fact the blueberries went to mush and it fell apart :rolleyes:). Next time (I will do it again) I will use the proper ingredients and not put the blueberries in the bottom of the tin but instead just mix them into cake mix!

    Right now dinner...........
