    Thanks for the tv reminder Edlass.

    Thought I better pop in and let you know I've managed to do a S without the S before having a R&R as I see there have been a few welcome posts to me and I thank you kindly for the welcome but I doubt my appearance will be regular :o

    Tonight I'm going to tackle the kitchen while watching Martin's prog at 8.00 pm ITV and have some soup that my daughter made this afternoon. (the reason I need to tackle the kitchen) Not quite soappie's recipe more using a bag of woopsie veg I picked up in Asda last night but it was blitzed with the new blender so I need to find an accessible spot to put the blender in.

    Have a lovely evening all :j
    WTG Edinburghlass :j an S without the other S is better than no S at all :D. R&R is an extremely important part of a Flylady's life so I'm glad you've managed that too.
    And well done on the new blender blizting :D

    Greenbee - hugs that the new job is proving problematical - enjoy your fledgling social life! xxx
    Poohbear - enjoy your DS3 home for a while but don't despair if he decides to use you as a hotel for the weekend.

    Evening everyone. Quite a busy day here. Went to library and did some shopping this morning. Came back and did the bathroom then went to hospital with GS1. He got attacked with a plank of wood while walking home on Wed night. His face is twice the size and his nose is broken. We thought his cheekbone was broken too. You can tell its getting colder as the cat is starting to curl up by the radiator.
