    xmas-smiley-010.gifMorning lovely flyladies,
    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.
  • So my lists today are:

    Feed the cat at least twice catmilk.gif
    Brush the cat
    Sort and delete 30 emails
    reply to emails
    Clean bathroom sink
    Spray bleach on the bottoms of the shower curtains
    Email R
    Fill WM and put on

    Post on the GC thread - for Gods sake just do it!!
    Ring hospital
    Ring Taunton
    Ring America
    Make sausage rolls

    Have a good day - with love and light and flylady vibes to anyone who needs them.

    Morning all

    I've taken up Mudbaths suggestion of editing an earlier list so that I don't take up so much of the thread each day. Toots - I'll holler loudly if I've earned a star for my work so theres no need to go back through the pages to find me (please don't remind me that I've not achieved a single one for weeks :o)! :A:A:A

    Gawd, better crack on with some then....! :rolleyes:

    Hugs all round

      Morning all

      Hugs Turks, you'll feel wobbly for a while but it will get easier. Trust me...

      No snow here, just a fair bit of rain but it seems a different picture inland. Be careful out there ladies.
      I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
    • Morning all

      Lots and lots of snow here, more than last week. Hmmm. It will give me a chance to do some flying and try and get me out of this black mood I seem to be in!

      Be safe
      If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
      I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p
