    Just nipping in quickly to say I dont think I will be around much this week.

    My mum collapsed coming off the beach in sydney about 6 hours ago. They discovered that she has blood clots in her lungs so they have had to cancel their flights home tomorrow. :(

    Im not sure whats happening, but doubt I will be able to keep up with the thread and post.

    Lots of love all round xx
    Hugs and positive healing vibes for your mum, jo.

    Please count me in for this week.......My OH decided to leave, and moved out this weekend.....so I need to focus on what I have at home, ie the children and our surroundings, and therefore need it to be a nice place for us to come home to every day.

    So, I will be back on the flylady trail.......I've booked a couple of days off at the end of the week so will do the majority of things then I expect, but hopefully I can make a reasonable start on my lists in the evenings.

    Very busy at work again this week - enjoying it so far which is a great thing given how anxious I was about returning - what a difference one person can make to a team!
    So pleased to hear it's going well

    I didn't get the job - I was down to the last couple but I didn't sell myself enough which is why I didn't get the job. Apparently I got stronger as the interview went on!
    Think of it as practice - it's great that they've given you the feedback so you know what to work on. Something else will come up

    (((((hugs)))) Jo. Shout if we can do anything to help or you just need to offload.

    Lots of healing and destress vibes for Triker. From where I am you really do seem to be improving, so just keep working on it slowly and try not to rush yourself. Hopefully the new car will help your energy levels - it's newer, uncluttered, light, nippy and a vibrant colour, so should be sending all the right messages.

    soappie - either we've had a VERY heavy frost, or it snowed a very small amount in the night. It was so cold I kept waking up in the night (but not enough to get a blanket) and had to switch the heating back on (it goes off at 7.30) to encourage myself out of bed :o

    Breakfast eaten... need to get dressed and head off to the post office either before 10 or in my lunch break... I have pens for Jue ;)

    Awww Jo hope you're mam's gonna be ok, what a shock for you (((((((((((hugs)))))))))) xx

    Car won't start :mad: I feel like flinging the damn thing in the sea I'm so sick of it, it's falling to bits and I can't afford to get a new one, so unless OH can drive me round today (or get it started) I wont be earning any money and I have to get electric today, I'm down to a few pence on the meter, and there's no dosh in the bank...... one day I'll be a grown up and sort things out properly :mad:

    Dailies list is done though :D oh except the washing as it's not quite dry.
