Evening all!

Right paddy with DH over, he guessed I was cross and made amends.

TOOTS you post whatever list you like. And I tell you what, I'll happily do a HHF with you any day of the week!

PIGPEN thank you in advance for the lists.

EVERYONE ONE ELSE massive hugs, it has been a tough week for us all what with snow, the post Christmas New Year blues and what should have been back to a routine thrown out the window.

NEWBIES I work full time as well and do voluntary work so started with levels 1 and 2 and have progressed to level 3 only after a while! I may not have children but do have a DH and various animals and neglect time for me quite often.

anyway painting my nails now so see you on the new thread!

Lil-me - it sounds like you and DP are doing sterling work there on a voluntary basis. Well done you! May you stay safe whilst you continue to save lives xxx

ditto what soappie said you have been doing lots of helping out since the start of the snow and should be praised for it.
BTW your new curtains look like the same as I have had a look at fro my bedroom but in green - I think they are beautiful

We're not personally doing those hospital runs, someone who is closer has that one covered but I appreciate the thoughts for all the people involved. Just like any service that needs to operate regardless of conditions. There are several response services across the country, Wales, Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedford etc that I know of and they help where a 'normal' car would struggle. Floods, snow, remote areas etc. Some have toys like snorkels and winches etc on, all the toys to help in deep water etc but mines a 'normal 4x4' so we wouldn't get the extreme work. They even managed to get recognition on the news last week :j

Some non urgent things too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI_Murp9L3c which I doubt will ever be forgotten, a big day needed a few big cars

that was a lovely thing for you to do Bree - I know how much I appreciate my carers and would struggle without them. Ditto Bree - well done you - getting all your flying done and finding the time to look after your neighbour too.

Jo sorry honey I should have said before - of course it counts - I had already given you are a star for it!!

Thanks Toots..... :beer:


Re flylady meet - April 10th is good for me, am adding it to my diary now. It will be me and LO and we will be driving from South Wales. The drive according to google maps is around 2 hours 40 minutes so thats no problem. Depending on what the plan is for the day, we might be able to drive back that night if its a day meet. Or if someone can put up me and the LO that would be fab too? x

Hi everyone
Quick update on my day - made progress on kids rooms, but nowhere near a star I'm afraid. People coming to look at insulating roof tomorrow (postponed from last Thurs if anyone remembers) and am not completely terrified at being thought complete sl*t. At least house is mostly cobweb free, all recently hoovered, some bits sparkling and others only requiring a quick S&S.:j

Thanks for helping me through my first week of flying everyone - you've been inspirational. I actually like seeing peoples personal lists - I'm amazed that some of you seem to manage to list on ebay every day for instance and I have got several ideas from other peoples personal lists. Also have picked up some ideas for supper etc!!:D

Love and hugs to everyone whether they need it or not!
PS Really appreciated the welcome PM too. Didn't reply because didn't want to pester anyone!

PPS What is daily thread? Can I cope with more than one thread? Will I get offended if they ignore me?:p

I should be back to school tomorrow - as long as I can get out of my own road, which is the only really dodgy bit.:rolleyes:

We've taken down the Christmas decorations today - would have been done earlier, but we couldn't safely get the ladder out of the garage! That's about the only flying, as I then spent the rest of the day preparing lessons and sorting out resources - I really want to get that done before the weekend in future, such a waste of Sunday.

:hello:Hi to all the newbies!
:hello:Hi to all my flylady friends, and special love and hugs for lady-liberty and toots!

Oh Toots that is not what you needed. Hope you can get it repaired

Seconded! I know we all comment on the length of your list because we worry about you overdoing things, but it's what works for you that matters (it also means we can spot when you're not doing your ebaying )

I agree too, when I have seen the length of your list I have commented on how long it is but again only because I worry you are trying to do too much.

I am guilty of many of the things discussed on here. Often I will ramble on and then add a one liner to say what I have or havent done. I am also guilty of scanning posts until something catches my eye so again apologies for not reading properly. I have been here a while now and have seen the thread grow hugely so appreciate how off putting it can be with the thread moving so fast, it used to be a doddle to read and fly, now you have to choose 1 or the other :rotfl:. I personally want to thank everyone who posts in whatever way shape or form as it all contributes to its success.

As from Wed I will only be posting in the evening with little chance to catch up so hopefully will not contribute too much to the clutter. I will however miss being part of you all as it isnt the same just dropping in, in the evenings.

For now I am going to clear up the roast dinner stuff from the kitchen now that the children have emptied the DW, then it will be bathtime and bed for DD, then I have to make a coffee cake for DH birthday tomorrow plus sort lunches (making sandwiches for all week worked really well IMO and there were no complaints from DS who was monitoring the situation :rotfl:)

:T:T :A:A to all those who have been helping others out in these dire times.

Until next weeks thread (which I see is now up)
