Hi everyone!!

Hope you're all ok, hugs and everything where needed cos as ever I've only read the last few pages, I just can't keep up at the moment with work being so busy & lots of stuff to get done in the evenings. I'll try harder once Christmas is out of the way honest!

I've managed to send out everyones ecards tonight as OH is out on his work Christmas meal thing so its been lovely and quiet here. Also done another order with Amazon..I don't know how the world managed without Amazon I've done loads of my Christmas shopping with them this year!

Flying wise, I washed up & wiped down the kitchen...thats it!
Off to pick up OH in a few minutes.. that'll be the peace gone!

Auntie Toots - I was just popping on to ask where you were and saw you had posted. Thought you might have overdone things yesterday. I have planned AND have 1000 words for one of them written. Only 4500 left altogether now. So you don't get to nag unless I haven't done any more by the end of the weekend :rotfl:

Flying - I have *ahem* decluttered rather a lot of cake that we bought for visitor coming to inject me. And then washed up the plate :cool:

Thank you for your speedy and welcoming response greenbee. I will take your advice thanks. I don't know if my friend posts on these pages or not, she hasn't said although I will confess I have looked at some of the usernames to see if one stands out as possibly being her. I feel it's a bit rude to ask her incase she wants to be anonymous.

Well if she's suggested you look here, I'm sure you'll work it out eventually (or she'll work out who you are!)... mind you, I don't let anyone in the real world know that I'm here - it's where I share my deepest darkest secrets and vent about things (I'm not the only one :rolleyes:). However, I also consider many of those who post here to be real friends... I just need to make sure that the flylady friends and the non-flylady friends never meet and swap stories :eek:

Good luck... I'm sure you'll find it helpful and you'll be collecting stars very soon! (unlike me )

ETA - three more cards done. Another one to do... and confusingly, I have one that I can't make up my mind whether I've already done or not... my list says not but I'm sure I remember writing it. I'll have to ask the person concerned when I see them!

OK... that really should be it for the day, so I'm off to bed now. Sleep well, sweet dreams, see you in the morning... (and don't let me forget to go to work... I've got a 10am meeting with a flylady :eek:)

Forgot to say Welcome to Pillion. It's a bit of a mad house here but everyone's lovely.
