    Morning all -- in a rush, slept in late.

    LL - hope things go welltoday

    Me too... woke up for 6am alarm... went back to sleep... then it was 9.20 :eek: Good thing I'm working from home...
    Good morning everyone :beer: Another busy day here :j I'm doing some more painting this morning (glossing takes for ever :rolleyes: ) then off to collect my piggie after lunch, so sausages for tea :T Choir this evening, then we might go out for a quick drink (thirsty work, singing :beer: ).

    Enjoy the piggie!! And don't forget, alcohol is bad for your vocal chords :p (but not as bad as chocolate ;))

    Still working my way through the laundry. Looks like three more loads to do :(. Will try to get some ironing done this morning between bouts of work so that it doesn't accumulate - there are two duvet covers and lots of pillow cases lurking in there somewhere...

    Better go and feed the WM and find some breakfast before Delia appears on the radio - I'll do my ironing while listening to her.

  • pigpen - just take all the children's appt letters - that at least must be some sort of proof? and what about getting the doctor's letter when you have money next week - tell the uni it will follow - has to be worth paying for it if it lets you defer! And you will have a copy of the divorce papers soon too!

    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Macpep - Tristan was my first love a long time ago but now he is just the dearest friend in the world. Someone I love very very much.
    Hip is feeling a lot better this morning. Still painful, but not so stiff which means walking is lopsided but not unbearable. :rotfl:
    HSchristmaswindow.gif

    You must have a very special friendship to help see him through this and I admire you for that, you are both in my thoughts even though I don't know you, you seem like a lovely lovely person, hope you get some relief from your hip soon xx

    Sorry I missed the visualisation last night, DH was out and DS & DD were in bed so I would have had peace and quiet to take part :o, hope it helped you Lady L, Toots, Diva & Tris.

    Lady L - Good luck for this morning

    Toots - Hope you are well

    On a lighter note, I got my blood tests back and they were normal so its just a normal cyst on my ovary, I have to be re-scanned in January to make sure it hasn't got any bigger :j

    I will be popping in and out today from work when I can to try and keep up with the thread, cannot remember if I asked yesterday but how do I join the flylady FB?

    Hugs to you all :A

  • Good morning everyone and thankyou for all the kind and welcoming comments yesterday. This is day 2 in my quest for a clean and orderly house. Before I found you wonderful people the task was just overwhelming but it's now looking like something I can do. Anyway, I'm feeling all fired up and positive so I'm off to do some work. I'll post what I've achieved later.
