    Found my first flylady post here. Seems such a long time ago.

    Have had dinner (pasta, cheese sauce and veggie bacon) and I'm off to bed in a minute.

    greenbee I've called my Mum and she definitely wants to come, as she said she could really do with the exercise, and regular walking would be great for her, as the gym is getting a bit much for her at the moment. I look forward to meeting JillD for the first time too. rosepink would you like to join us?

    I've remembered that soaking in the bath with newly coloured hair is a bad idea :rolleyes: so I've scrapped that. I've liberated the clean washing from the machine, hung up the non TD stuff on an airer (apart from the leggings I want in case I go to the gym tomorrow, which are on the bathroom towel rail!), and put another load in so I have a complete TD load before I go to bed. That'll be the washing cleared (till tomorrow :rolleyes:), and I'm pretty sure none of it needs ironing :j

    Loaded the DW, washed the stuff that needs doing by hand. Looked up some recipes... I'm thinking parsnip and apple soup, and a kind of ratatouile with fennel to get the peppers cooked. Both are SC recipes, so I think I need to do the pepper one tomorrow, then wait a bit (until there is more space in the freeze...) until I do the parsnip one. The problem with all this batch cooking is that it's easier to cook it than eat it!

    I've got a bit of pottering around to do while the washing finishes, and then I'm off to bed. Apparently it's going to be sunny tomorrow :D

    I did a search on the OS forum in advanced search, and put in my username, ticked the box that said posts, and last year or older, ascending order, and looked down the results until I found a flylady one.

    Ooooh sexy I'll have a look for my first flylady post too, I've been around quite a while too but have dipped out from time to time I know. I remember TNG, Shell and Lynzpower though.

    ETA: Have given up! I can find one from early 2007 but I'm pretty sure there are some before that!
