    Morning all
    Nice to see the new friends back :D
    Well i have walked the dog he is a cairn cross daschund and he is deffinatly my dog i tell the children that i love him more:rolleyes: as he doesnt play me up like them.

    Yep my kids always saying i love my doggies more than them. I say to them that Molly and Poppy (doggies) only give me unconditional love where as they only give me unconditional hassle! Im sure that had I had my dogs before my children I would have had more dogs and less children!!!
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Feeling wealthy now as just sold DS's old highchair and steriliser and have the grand total of £17 in my pocket :j:j - won't last long but nice to have it for a bit.

    Got typing to do, then lunch, then walk the dog. The day is going so quickly and I have to make a real effort not to just sit and chat on the computer.

    Jo, I used to work in an office and regularly used to feel like inflicting damage on all the idiots who were there - never did though (or did I .....;))


    how did you sell them so quickly....I am desperatley trying to sell some of DD's toys, they are listed on netmums but so far no joy:rolleyes:

So just waiting for DD1 and DS to get it now :rolleyes:

    Enjoy your days

    Oh I remember all mine got it together - well one after the other- and i had about six weeks of it. Get hold of calamine as it really works. Its good to get rid of it now though as the heat makes it worse. Hugsx

    I tried the highchair on Netmums with no joy, so this was on Trade-it. I listed it on Friday night and the lady contacted me yesterday. Just luck of the draw I think. The thing about Trade-It is you can place your ad online for free and then just keep renewing it when it runs out.

    As for the steriliser, she asked if I had anything else to go when she came for the highchair and I said I'd just found it on the fridge freezer (thanks Pigpen!)

    I don't get a lot of luck with toys, so normally pass them onto a friend of mine who runs a playgroup or, if she doesn't need them, on to a charity shop.

    Morning all . . . it is still morning isn't it? Yes!

    Not sure, but I think I posted on this thread not too long after joining MSE, was having a moan about there not being a place for general chitchat here on the OS board and received a message reminding me about the Daily thread. Moan over :rotfl:

    Not part of the 'evicted' Flylady team, but more than happy to sneak in on their coattails! :D Having a quick run through of the thread I see it will take me some time to get a handle on who everyone is, so please be gentle. I am 'of an age' and the braincells are not what they used to be.

    This was meant to be just a quick hello and I hope to get some time later to have a more thorough look round later *fingers crossed* Sooo...hello everyone :hello: I look forward to getting to know you all as time goes on!

    Morning everyone - flylady here sticking her head over the fence to have a look...

    I'm bored at work planning what I have to do tonight when I get in. Cooking mainly. Have written some bread making recipes down this morning to try at the weekend if I feel brave enough and use up the endless bags of flour I have!

    Might do a little flying if feel like it but definitely HHE - must do this must do this! Set up a pedmeter today for the first time and lets have a look at how many steps I've done - hmm not many think it's not working properly I must have walked more than 200 steps so far today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi to the one's I know - jinky, Diva, Jo, Tooch and anyone else I missed and Hi to everyone on here I don't know!

    Talking of dogs - my border terrier helped himself to a box of chocolates which he ate neatly and tidily without me knowing and then, not surprisingly threw it all up 3 hours later in the biggest pile I have ever seen - nice one. He is very sweet natured (!) however a little naughty!

    Morning, or have I missed morning and it's turned into the afternoon :D Another flylady popping over to say boo and hello :) Although it's a fleeting visit as I have to jump in the bath as I have been a lazy mare this morning and done absolutely nothing. Heck I haven't even checked FB yet, ooh that is so bad of me..lol.
