    Morning ladies!yawn2.gif

    Pigpen - I am so so sorry to hear about your loss. I will keep you and yours in my prayers.
    Greenbee - those bags looked gorgeous the other day, how clever of you!
    holly - Well done on the weight loss.
    Toots - That was a lovely idea for the stones.
    Managed to finish darning the 3ft tear in my sheet yesterday and am very proud at how neat it is considering I haven't sewn anything in years. Also edged and folded and edged again the muslin cloth so it's layered and more useful. I did think about keeping one edge open so I could slide a bar of soap inside and use it like that..
    Anyway, my list for today is as follows -
    Feed the cat at least twicecat.gif
    Brush the cat
    Sort and delete 10 emails
    reply to emails
    Clean bathroom sink
    Spray bleach on the bottoms of the shower curtains
    [STRIKE]
    Fill WM and put on
    [/STRIKE]
    Extras
    Make sammys for OH lunch
    [STRIKE]Put breadmaker on[/STRIKE]
    Polish computer keyboard and screen and tv
    Sort through at least one crate from loft - failed from yesterday
    Edge the second muslin cloth
    Work out GC spending for this week and amend siggy
    I hope you all have a successful day flying. hugs.gifto all who need them.

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.

    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.

  • Zoe ditto what the others have said. You're a strong lady, going through a heck of a time. Is there anyone that can help you read through the papers? A support worker perhaps?
    Remember that we're all there with you in spirit, virtually holding your hand, and giving you gentle back rubs. :)

    Get em read babes, you can do it.
