Hi folks,

Done the daily stuff and not a lot else, except go to work and do loads of stuff here, but is very cold outside at the moment.

Tesco's for what ever reason have sent me £20 more in vouchers , with seasonal good wishes etc etc.:j:j:T I'm sure I'll find something to spend them on!

Not so fat cat is off to fat club at the vets at 4pm today, I reckon this will be his last visit, as he seems really thin now.....however the scale will tell :rotfl: I just hope when I get home at 3.30pm I can find him!, as it is so cold my bet is he will be on the bed, snoozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing :rotfl:

Hi to all the newbies.

Hi Annie,

I'm generally really poor at housekeeping but have found flylady a real help. Not the thread on here I'm afraid as I find that's too much for me - working full time, with kids of various ages and very poorly organised!!! But the actual flylady website. I can honestly say it's transformed me. Just gives you a little daily task to get used to each month - even as simple as just making your bed each day (which I rarely did) and then a small 15 minute task taking in a room a week. I don't always do it but it acts as a prompt. Apart from this I do laundry every day as we're a big household, and then Sunday is my day for doing things! my ironing, my baking (usually) and making sure that DS2 has at least one bath a week, lol!!!

I find it does help to have a set time to do some things otherwise I can't prioritise or try to do far too much and give up!

Rach :grouphug:
orkney: -get some rest !

Well met my mother town, turned into a nightmare as she didn't have enough id to open an account with so have to go back on Friday with her. Me thinks she is secretly spying a xmas pressie for herself :rolleyes:.I've been rained snowed and hailed on lovely.
managed to cash the cash, buy some files, now just need to sort recipes out, paint middle room, pick up kids and crack on with the curtains.

DD doing the tree and nativity set, I will be doing HHI at 4, feel free to join in xx

OMG, DD can reach the top part of the 6ft tree!!!!!(not as far as the angel but not far off) When do they get so big, don't you hate it when you realise they are growing up

Oooh Triker, how exciting about the egg! What are you going to do with it? boil, poach or fry?

Big hugs Dusty - take a deep breath and sing along with Dolly

Jinky - hope you feel cheerier soon - how exciting that Mudders has named her reindeer after you!

Awww Rach, big, big squishy hugs love. What an awful turn of events. Has he said WHY he doesn't want them? Tell him that your own kids are completely different to everyone elses! Also, having a child will enable him to do so much that he couldn't normally do - the number of times my Dad used to take us kicking and screaming to jump ditches and collect conkers etc. What would he do if an "accident" was arranged quietly on the side?

Quillion, love the knitting

Welcome Spykey

Lil-me - sending you WIL coping vibes...

Less boring day at work today. Only trouble is, I've just about finished all the work my boss gave me to do over this week whilst she's on holiday ~sigh~

I am now going to fly in the living room
