  • Morning peeps :)

    Woke up far too early, so making a start on the living room, done most of the tasks that I can do at this unsociable hour, I don't think my OH nor my neighbours would talk to me if I switched the hoover on yet!

    Have a lovely day, and hope it gets warmer where ever you are :)

    Morning all

    We have an ice day - message is up on the website saying the office is closed because of the freezing temps and ice around. Looks like we have a snow day in the Flylady thread too what with no Thursday list :D

    morning all

    No snow day here! I've finished packing my bag for being away overnight, am dressed including thermal vest and have my flask sitting with hot water in it so I can make coffee in a minute just in case of any problems.

    I've S&S the bathroom this morning and cleaned the loo, so something done at least. DH will hopefully do something whilst I'm away.

    Off topic but if any flyladies want me to recommend them for the photoshoot offer (i think it's something like £10 each) can you pm me your name and mobile number? I think they give me some kind of incentive for recommending you, but I'd never pass on anyone's details without expressed permission (someone gave mine out - not happy!)

  • Good morning everyone :beer: DS's school is open, so he's getting some breakfast. I've made porridge for DD and I, and then we'll pack away the decorations icon9.gif

    It'll likely be the bathroom today, so no slacking for you, my dear Soappie :p

    See you all later, Penny. x

    And :p back to you! Knowing Piggers, it will not NOT be the bathroom because that's what we're guessing it will be :D

  • Morning all :wave:

    Time for me to bow out for a couple of months. I've just got 4 months left at Uni and I need to devote every spare minute to studying.

    I'll see you all in May :D

    I've never seen so much ice on the inside of the windows :eek::eek::eek:

    So the heating is on - first time this year I'll have had it on all day (although I'll switch it off if I decide to brave the walk to the post office - I have cheques to send off to the bank and no stamps :rolleyes:).

    Seeing as there is no list yet... I'll sort out breakfast, put my thermals on, bung in a load of washing and try to get some personal paperwork done before I have to try to pretend to work. That way my desk might be a bit clearer...

    ETA - good luck SSL - look forward to seeing you when you get back!
