    On a different note, has anyone been to LEON restaurants? My current totally favourite place, and i've just found lots of recipes online! Yay. greenbee i think you'd love it!

    Haven't been, but I have heard of them and the philosophy behind it, so good to see that they're still going strong! If I'm ever near one I'll make sure I give it a try!
    ...so not looking forward to going out in the cold, at least I have the fit flop boots to slip on with their lovely warm lining, have I mentioned that I love my boots?
    I seem to recall that you'd mentioned it in passing once or twice, or possibly three time :p
    just ignore me I'm soooooo not here but just reminding you about recipe for lentil soup ;)

    Once you come over here you don't get anything for free... there's a definite culture of rewarding people for achievements and good behaviour, so you'll have to prove to soappie that you deserve your recipe :D

    Three days worth of grubby gym kit is sorted and in the laundry basket... ready to go in the machine when I get back tomorrow evening with the next lot.

    I've had a nice long bath reading a trashy novel, my gym bag is packed for tomorrow morning's swim so I just need to make up my breakfast and then I have until 6am to decide what to wear :rolleyes: There are days when I miss school uniform :o

    Tomorrow I MUST sort out my pension paperwork and deal with my share options... then I can put the paperwork away!

    See you all tomorrow. Sleep well, sweet dreams.

    But Edinburghlass, honey, why you sneakin' in through the back door girl? You said in that dark place that I could take my time and first you'd need to join the Flylady thread and tidy the kitchen then meal plan before shopping etc etc.

    If you can tell me, cross your heart and hope to die, that you've done ONE of those things, then I'll give you the recipe :p:D

    hand on heart, done none so I'll sneak back out and see if the lovely Rachel Allen has soup in her recipe book with the blender.

    Edlass - how lovely of you to pop in how is the S&Sing coming along?

    I've no idea, should I know :confused:

    *tiptoes out backwards*

    have I mentioned that I love my boots?

    Nope don't think you have mentioned that before :p
    Seems like I joined at the wrong time - it's all been drama by the sounds of it! Seems like its settled down now though.

    lol no that is what it is like here ALL the time :rotfl: BUT we support each other and are non judgemental. In fact we are all just mental :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just adding my hugs to all those in need at the moment.

    Not a lot of flying done around here but some very worthwhile tasks in progress and completed ;)

    Paid work for me tomorrow but I shall stick my head round the door before I leave.

    Night all xx

    Hello everyo0ne, just popping in quickly before I go to bed (I'm shattered and this is very late for me).

    Have skimmed the thread to see how everyone is. I missed the visualisation but I hope it worked. What lovrely people you all are!

    Not much flying for me as I discovered to my horror this morning that my lovely hens have red mite (or vampire mites as i call them). I feel like such a bad mother not to hav e noticed before now. I have spent most of the day cleaning their house and have sprayed it three times with insecticide and still the mites are there :mad: I will dust with powder tomorrow. But at least my girls should have a more comfortable night tonight.

    Hugs to those in need,

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz smileyt xx

    I don't think I'll be flying much today, more sort of pottering. I think OH has given me the lurgy (grr to him!) as I'm a bit achy, tired and sore-throaty. I don't think he quite understood what I was trying to say when I said I didn't have the luxury of retiring to bed for 3 days like he did....men!

    Anyway, I'm going to take it easy, but still see what I can do. I'll be getting my skirting boards cut today, so I'll fix those, then just a coat of paint and I'm done (in the hallway at least). Of course, the whole thing needs redecorating, but I really don't want to think about it yet! (The previous owners painted it an 'interesting' mushroom colour).

    Well, once again loads of hugs for everyone, and I'll see you later.
    Have a good day
