Hi Can I join in again - tried before and failed miserably. House is a riot at the moment and need to get organised.
Thanks Sassi

Hi sassi - have added you to my list - my house is always a riot - and I bet there are a few more on here too so you are in good company!!! Glad you decided to come back and join us.
TAG me? moi? NAG? NEVER!!!!!:rotfl: oh i see greenbee had the same thought!!! and wot would you like nagged about - the state of the house or your christmas organisation or the price of tea in china???? and is this to be a long term affair (rubs hands in anticipation ) ?????
ok if you are reading this then STOP, get off your behind and go and do something from the kitchen list for 15 minutes and report back!!!! move it move it look sharpish!!!!!
Methe kids well done for standing up to DD - you need to look out for yourself and she needs to learn to get up 5 mins earlier!!! Could you write some cards in your lunch hour? even if it is only 4 or 5 everyday it would save you doing it at home.
AnW'sMum the phrase "fur coat and no knickers" sprung to mind but didnt want to offend you:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Boddy hope DD is beginning to feel better - hope it goes well at the home with the Manager - hope Mum is less agitated today and most of all hope you enjoyed your cuddles with GGD3:D
Dusty (((hugs))) for you my lovely - hope you are feeling a bit better now
De.Nattom gosh honey that is a mega list to beat all lists:eek: is there a christmas deadline on it or is it ongoing?
poppy that will be fine I trust you - so dont worry about the photos - so long as you are making an effort and not substituting the jobs for easy ones you will get your star.
I will be watching who is continually substituting ironing - once is ok but evryweek is not:rotfl:
Lady L have been clock watching all after noon - hope you are getting answers (hugs)

sexy have been watching the time for you too honey and hope that your meeting has gone ok (hugs)

pillion get them all roped in later - you will still get a star - doesnt matter if some of the family help with the list
signs of recovery you are still there honey!
pigpen awhhhh poor wee Tiddles ...march is a long time to wait when your are little with a sore finger I am sending her a huge squishy hug xx
ZLJ well done with the ironing - just a little at a time now and you will be able to keep on top of it - have added you to the list - hope you managed to get to the fair and the kids enjoyed it.
Triker well done with the ebaying - it will soon begin to make a difference in the house
JillD (((hugs))) what a disappointment and waste of money.
carlsberggrannan (((hugs))) I know its worrying but you have to put it out of your head for now - its a while to April nd anything could happen between now and then - besides you have to think positive to keep him well not think the worst -live for today angel!
JoJo well top of your list will be getting BF back to full health - thank goodness he is not a statistic - I am sure he will get very tired for a while but a bit of exercise everyday will help build up the muscles again - lots of your TLC too!!!!
pooh sorry to hear about the driving I know how i felt but I am at least on a bus route and in a town - its good to hear new pooch is settling in well - its all that TLC you are giving her (((hugs))) for being such a lovely lady.
Lady L thats brilliant honey - did your oncologist look a bit bruised and battered after your apointment?:D No growth would have been the best news but slight growth will have to do - you make the most of each day. Love and hugs as always xxx
wilf come on love - you will only feel bad in a day or two if you dont do a little bit today - has all your mega lists and work finally caught up with you or is there something up that w can help with (((hugs)))

Hello

I'm back from the hospital.......I have slight growth on two of the tumours....but I can cope with that.....I am realistic enough to know they are not going to shrink or disappear I'm just relieved there is no major advancement at this stage.....being as aggressive as it is that is a huge relief.....so a HUGE thanks to all the flylady force, love, prayers etc.....I couldn't have managed without you all :A :A :T next scan in 3 months......so until then I will make the most of every day Love you all xxxxxxx

Glad everything went okay L-L and that it wasn't bad news, if you know what I mean. We will all be there for you in 3 months time

pigpen

*Hoofs TAG up the posterior* GO GIRLY.. you can get load and loads done in a 15 minute blitz.. I however, cannot I have just incapacitated myself trying to murder a cat.

Tuesdays MEAN list is up.. you will all be sparkly by Christmas.. promise.. This is the last full week so next week should be spent doing those last minute things not worrying about our lack of toothpaste!

AJ what are you sending - I'll help you improvise.

I have three parcels to try and send in one go, a box of chocloates A4ish size (Thorntons continental), a gift box from Lush and a small tin. I have a box which fits the chocloates and small tin or the Lush box and tin but all together are too high for the box I have. I have loads of bubble wrap so wondering if it would be easier to protect them with that and try and find some parcel paper instead, just need to go and see if I have any of that.

Send parcel Just been to the post office to try and get something to send it in but they don't have anything. I don't have anything I can reuse so I may have to wait and send it special delivery as last posting for normal parcels is tomorrow, so much for being organised :mad:

Thanks for the warning! I hadn't realised that... I'll have to find something to pack some stuff up in myself... although I don't think I can get to the post office tomorrow (I may have to be late for work!)

L-L - I'm glad the news is good. It's all relative, I know, but as you say, you've got 3 months to not think about it and get on with making the most of every day.

sexymouse should be finished by now, so hopefully we'll hear from her soon.

soappie

Greenbee - seeing you there reminded me - the dog and I have started the pine cone collection - have about 50 so far just from the back garden (and the gardener swept up last Thurs). When we get out in the park I'll take a bag and collect oodles more...

I'm sitting here on tenterhooks for Sexym...

zara*elise

Ajmoney, wrap most of it up in bubble wrap then use a black bin liner to wrap and seal. It's waterproof and labels will easily stick to it.

Cut the binbag up as you see fit, I've wrapped three smallish items up this way, saves a fortune in jiffys and boxes!
