    TOOCHOOSEY - I think we may be married to the same man. Mines seems to constantly parrot 'this place is a tip, there is too much stuff, this place is a tip, I can't live like this yet god forbid he may actually get off his !!! and do anythng about it. Rant over for now.


    Can't we send them back for an upgrade? (Designed by a flylady of course!)

    Mine seems to think that because his stuff is 'put away' that makes it alright!

    IT DOESN'T!!!!!

    He's got so much stuff that there's nowhere left for other people to put theirs!!!!

    Morning:)

    I'm here proper this week... last week just didn't happen:rolleyes:

    I have no idea who needs hugs so grab some if you need them!;) It would be impossible for me to catch up properly! (Ummm what does TMV mean???:confused: )


    TMV means Toxic Mother Visit, I made it up last night as a number of us have very Toxic Mothers. Jill has survived a particularly gruelling TMV, and I thought we should recognise the fact that we can survive these endurance tests with a little humour.:D

    As Christmas draws nearer I've a feeling a few more people will be experiencing TMV's.

    We could scale them,

    Green TMV = a few rows, a sore jaw from tension at having to bite your tongue

    Amber TMV = some heated rows, some crushed confidence and some deflection of bullying of other members of the family by the TM (Toxic Mother)

    Red TMV = huge awful rows, white hot rage, tears, trauma and an overwhelming desire to throttle the living daylights out of your Mother.

    Flying wise, I've decluttered a cup of coffee.

    Today need to collect a parcel

    Chase up I.T.
