    FFP Hi honey....congrats to DS......they are all doing you proud xx

    Well HRH won a star writer award today at school for her story. She drew a decdedly dodgy picture of me too:rotfl:
    DS1's school sent me a letter today to tell me that he had to be sent to the time out base and he is no longer allowed in the french class:mad:

    On the flying front livingroom done, bathroom done if I tidy this desk I may well get another star:rolleyes:. Text loads of people for old mobile phones to hand into the school to raise funds. played on facebook and sat on my big butt. Lunched kids, sent DS's back to school. Changed DD out of her school clothes and she is now playing outside. Off to see if Jessica F or !!!!!! are on Alibi;)

  • Afternoon my lovelies, will be MIA over the weekend as we are off camping near Helmsley for the weekend :j:j Weather is supposed to stay fabulous so I have my fingers crossed as Look North usually get it wrong!!

    This morning I've:

    Waxed legs
    Pedicure and toenail paint
    Ironed 6 things
    S/S kitchen
    S/S living room
    Bleached loos as normal
    Packed bag of clothes for us camping
    Showered and came to work

    All the rest of the camping things have to be packed when DH gets home from work as we go in his car (don't think my little peugeot 107 could even get the tent in!!), he finishes at 4 on a friday. I've asked my boss if I can leave early as I never get a proper lunch hour, so am leaving at 4 too :j Hopefully will be at the site by 6.30-7.00, set up and have got chilli from yesterdays sc and boil in the bag for tea, so nice and easy, oh and probably a couple of beers to wash it down as well!!

    DD1 at home with boyfriend, hope she looks after it properly!!

    Hugs to all and hope you all have a great weekend whatever you are doing xx

    Have you seen my new avatar ? ;)
    I was just curious as hear you all mentioning FB and wondered how you realised who each other really were iyswim!
    I don't really use FB but have been thinking maybe I should.
    Flying wise- done zilch, not feeling that energetic, so plan to knit now then cook dinner. Might do some cleaning over the weekend if DH will do DS sitting.

    I don't really use FB but have been thinking maybe I should.

    There are a few flyladies who have multiple FB identities, and use one for keeping in touch with flyladies & one for the 'real' world.
