Weekly Flylady Thread 7th December 2009

skintscotslass

Morning all :wave:

Havent managed to catch up with the thread so hugs all round.

Jue (((hugs))) It might not be as bad as you think. My Nan was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 85, but because the cells dont regenerate as quickly as they do with a younger person, it didnt spread. She took a tablet every day for quite a few months and its now gone.

toots, jjef and crafty - hope you are all ok and wrapped up warm. Its looks like its minus 7 with you. Its a nice balmy minus 2 here

I had an early start today. I drove DD into Edinburgh. She is working in Inverness today (thats a good 4 hour drive I reckon). However, she is getting paid travelling time, so she is quite happy

We are going to get the tree today so I guess I need to tidy the LR first :rolleyes: I think I will try to read some of the thread and have another coffee.

Just waiting for the moomin to be returned from sleeping at her friends.. tiddles needs help writing her christmas cards today, or tomorrow. We need to sort homework.. DS3 has a couple of bits to do.. and I have tonsilllitis .... again.. it isn't too horrific yet but it is getting there! Let's hope this dose doesn't require 3 lots of AB's like the last time did!!

A friend from school needs to rehome her 2 year old cat.. guess who she asked first?! It would match mine...
