    TAG angel - I havent read the thread so i dont know if you have posted what happened but its terrible that you have been ripped off especially just now and especially when you are getting back on your feet - I hope there is some way of recouping your loss - I am here if you want/need to rant or chat - massive hugs for you my sweet. (((hugs)))
    toots xx

    Umm Toots, I think you might have me mixed up with someone else. :confused: I'm not sure who though as I've only been skim reading most of it this week. Perhaps another flylady could help us?

    :eek:Didn't realise that was the time. I'm going to bed in a mo cos then I can enjoy my lay in sooner!! ;)

    I think I might be kitten collecting on Sunday. Miss Tag is going to her Nanny's for a few days before Christmas. So I thought it might be a good idea to get the kittens a day or two early and give them a chance to settle in a bit before Christmas chaos truly decends on us. Plus it's a nice surprise for DD when she comes home on her birthday.

    Nite all. Catch you tomorrow.

    didn't get much flying done as OH gave up on going into work due to snow and cam e home and worked here!

    DS gave up on college - they were only going in for football and there was too much snow - he looks loads better for a lie-in and a day off!

    The girls in the kitchen at work gave me a pot of bulbs to say thankyou for all my help - i really appreciated it!

    Now all I have to do is find DS's uniform for tomorrow....

    Wahey - 2 weeks off!
