    I did wonder ;) but didn't like to presume... although I assume your DS's dad is and ex of some kind :p

    So you're getting rid of all your responsibilities then?

    Tuesday's list done

    It stopped raining so I put some of the washing out for a blow but I'm getting it back in now because it's starting to cloud up again.

    Feel really tired today, I did some updating on the computer this morning and I find it extremely stressful. Made me feel sick for a while but better now.

    Off to B~&Q in a bit when DD1 gets back to watch the smalls for a bit.. Spent a meagre £300 at Ikea.. 4 chests of drawers, 2 mirrors, 1 lamp and 4 glove puppets.. they had a sheep, how could I refuse? We are possibly heading back Friday very briefly to see if they have the desk in we want for DD2 but the rest of the week is going to be spent erecting drawers and sorting through clothes.. half of DD1 and DD2's stuff doesn't fit so we'll sort those.. then I need to find a new bed for DD1 which is a single but less than 2m in length.. the room is 195 wide.. then her new units will fit in her room. I am refusing to repaint her room until I have at least done the girly room and my room once!

    I have a blinding headache due to a caffeine deficit I think.. I am considering having a packet of proplus in my bag for such occasions.. really bad for me but so are these headaches!

    Anyway.. back soon.. after putting food in the oven to cook while I whizz for DD2's christmas rug... YUMMY!

    I know I haven't mentioned it for a while but my dearest friend Tristan is having an operation today (he is 8 hrs behind us over there). I won't bore you with the details but there is a danger it may not give the positive result we want or worst case scenario, he may not actually wake up again once under..

    BUT I know he will, and would just like to ask for the usual amazing support I know you can all give him. I haven't read the thread to know if anyone else is in need today (sorry) but if I could ask you amazing flyladies to light a candle or send some positive thoughts out there, I would be grateful. If the operation is successful then he will gain some more time and that is very precious to him and his family and me.. and some of you know how much he means to me.

    Thank you so much

    I've got some insence a candle burning. My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family, friends and loved ones (such as yourself)

    They are of course also for anyone else who needs that little *something*

    my house drives me nuts...it never seems to get any better no matter how much i do :(
    im a bit simple lol so things need to be explained in fine detail to me and i often ask really daft questions which to any other person the answer is obvious so sorry in advance.

    what exactly is this flylady thingy...it sounds like some mystical being that i have no comprehention (sp) of.
    can some one plese explain it to me please..
    thank you so muchly :)
  • Jinky - I'm sure GB didn't mean it the way you took itxx
    I'm always confused on FB - not that I go on it much - there's a 'Jinky' then there's who I presume you are that isn't called Jinky. Am I right? Who's who??
