    Soappie - Spoke to friend yesterday and his book was completed in March 2008 and his first sale in February 2009. He said there were many legal and statutory things to attend to before publication. I shall ask the details of this next time we speak along with things you said earlier

    LadyL - Hope things get better with OH

    Off I go then....

    Will join you from 10.40. In the first HHC I stripped and re-made all 3 beds (after hunting down spare bedding). Since then I nipped into the vilage for meat, bread and paper. Looked at veg, but refused to pay £1.50 :eek: for a cauli! Think I still have some in the freezer.
    Time to S&S the kitchen, I think. DW and TD continue to be fed.

  • That was quite a good HHC, I washed up and cleaned out the fridge. I haven't washed the shelf and bits that slot into the door, but they are in the sink ready and everything is back in the fridge - it's so empty at the mo that everything just fits just sitting on the bottom!

    Shout if you need a hand - or send me the figures ;) and outline of what you want...
    Now there's an offer I can't refuse! :D I need a spreadsheet that I can put pricing I already have into, and compare other prices against to show the discount... and I need to be able to replicate it for different regions e.g. US pricing, UK pricing etc... at the moment I just write it down and work out whether they are paying more or less than they need to!

    If I try to put something together, could you have a look at it for me please :D:D:D

    lol - Yes piggers, send me the puddycats - My dog will have a great time :rotfl:

    Hugs for those feeling poorly or down today, inc 1 Step xx

    And I know what you all mean about the kiddies rooms.....mine was so bad it was spilling out into the hall - I had to do it the other day before it took over the whole of the upstairs. What gets me, is when he has messed up his room, he will go start playing in the spare room and making a mess in there too!!!

    That said, the last few days, doing a mad half hour at least everyday, is starting to pay off and my house is starting to resemble a home again.....instead of a dumping ground!!

    Off I go again..... any joiners??

    I will be very happy to say goodbye to 2009 and the last decade, and am looking forward to welcoming in the new decade with positivity and all round good energy. I hope the new year brings everyone the things that they wish for xxx

    Meeeee too.
    I have had such alot going on in the naughty's that has tested me to the limit :o
    I am hoping that the teenys's (:confused: is that what they are called ??) are still filled with lots of events, just happier ones :o:D

    Another Scottish Flylady:hello:

    The Scottish ladies are taking over, mwuh ha ha....

    Another one here:wave::p:D


    Today, I am going to have a bit of a faff in the kitchen for a while.
    Hopefully, this will help me cross some of my own list off :D

    I got an iTunes voucher for xmas.... and whilst I was looking for some music the other day, I found the new Chris Evans audio book on there.....
    So, I will be listening to that, whilst faffing :D

    I will be back later in the day, to update my list.

    Enjoy the last day of 2009 all :D
