Hiya
Just a quick post from me to thank you all for your support. My friend died peacefully last night. I'm glad it's not been dragged out. I'm flying like crazy to keep busy but if I don't post much don't worry about me - I'll be back! This is just the way I deal with things when I'm a bit out of sorts - don't sit still and declutter/tidy/clean/throw stuff away. DH and the children are worried if they don't keep moving they'll be put in a charity bag.

A massive thank you again for your support and big hugs to you all.

Catch up soon

Mudders xx

So sorry to hear about your friend xx

nopot2pin hope this week is better for you

Thanks Toots... althougth, today has not gotten the week off to a good start.
Tomorrow is another day, and I have bits and bobs to be getting on with, so maybe after doing them, I will feel better. I dont really do feeling poo so well...so I am sorry . To be honest, in the grand scheme of things, there is more to worry about in the world.

Mudders, sorry for the loss of your friend.
JillD, congrats to your friend.
Jinky, Domestic Goddess ??:rolleyes::eek::rotfl:Is this what I should be aspiring to ??:p:A

I haven't really done so much today, WM and DW on, and changed the bed...nowt else
I need to have a bit of a blitz tomorrow though, as I have a friend visiting tomorrow night.
I have an eyetest tomorrow, which I am not feeling so good about, as I have been having problems recently. But at least, hopefully, it will be sorted.
I also have reflexology, which, I hope will do me some good.

Am in again this week. Our new house is still relatively uncluttered although my desk is getting messy again so that room will be more of a challenge for me this week. I've found that as the weeks go by I do some flylady jobs automatically without thinking so they don't become a mess.
God I sound so self-righteous don't I :rotfl:
Loads of marking done tonight so no chance of catching up on thread, hope all ok.
