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

Ah, I see .
TBH I don't think I have the energy for FB at the moment anyway, so will just keep in touch with the threads on here.
Just don't want to fall out of the loop because I am not able to do the bigger lists just now.

We had a minor disaster on Wednesday when a bolt sheared off the bottom of the pushchair, causing it to collapse - thankfully baby wasn't in there....We had the pushchair for DD (who's 4), so it's seen a lot of use. Didn't expect it to fail so spectacularly though! As it's part of a travel system, I needed to find a new set of wheels. Thanks to a lovely person on eBay I managed to get one for a tenner. Long story, but basically she had the pushchair but no seat and harness - she ended the auction early then dropped it off to me on her way past. So, a big, big thank you....

I'm looking forward to a relaxing evening and weekend...honestly, I'm bloomin' knackered. Ooh it's the Tudors tonight....good!

Hope everyone is doing well - I haven't had a chance to catch up, so sending hugs to all who need one.
Take care

GRRRRR I am sooo bloody annoyed. Left early for school run, so I could jump on the bus and go and pay the rent before picking up DS. Got to the bus stop 5 minutes early for the bus and I waited..... and waited....... and waited..... and waited a bit more. A bus turns up at 3.05..... nearest stop is 10 minutes from school but couldnt walk there in time so I get on. Bus driver decides he doesnt know the route properly so I get off at a bus stop 15 minutes from school. THEN phone my dad who is luckily picking my nephew up from the same school this afternoon and he gets DS for me till I can get there.
Sooo annoying, what should have been a 10 minute detour, and a slow walk to school ended up taking me 45 minutes and having to virtually drag a 3 yr old behind me. Bloody bus services are carp, and they want people to scraptheir cars and use public transport. !!!!!!....


...... and BREATH!!!!

We have a pile of stuff waiting to go into the loft but I can only do it when OH is here because of the ladder.
Going to go through other stuff with him when he gets in.
Top of the wardrobe is really his domain but I will chat to him about it.
The chair will come down after the windows have been sorted so it doesn't get in the way.
The shelves have been an idea of mine for ages, will sweet talk OH to help me do them next weekend when we are both free.
