    morning :wave:

    well, i realised i have to change tactics!
    for now i'll stick to level one's - and will take it from there!
    plus a binbag dance, a hotspot and a 30thingy challenge (can't remember what you called it :D)

    slept in today and woke at 8am :eek: - so had 25min to feed, wash, dress kids and drop them off! easily done :D

    then i had breakfast 'yayy me' - have to try and NOT skip it anymore!

    i've also managed to
    - hotspot in bedroom (dh's beside table!!) - put a basket there now so that not everything ends up on the floor!!
    - stripped all bedding and exchanged duvets for 1togs
    - cleaned breakfast table


    i am off to do a HHC now ...



    i always gave blood on a regular basis - but am not allowed here for the next 6 months - guess they are worried i might carry a disease?!?! 'rolleyes'

    Toots: thanks for the suggestions! i thought about it but will wait with that a bit longer. dh is struggling a bit atm with things in general. he's never been out of work for such a long time (3 months) and the additional worry with us emigrating and he can't provide for us (we are not struggling, we do have a savings pillow, small but existing!) - so i rather have him get on with his 1000s of little projects and being happy(ier); we just have to wait for him to get his electrical licence and for the year to start properly with jobs again - then things will get easier :)

    Morning lovely flyladies,
    Juliejim - cheeky thing!! I think the cat was the only one whose routine didn't change!
    Greenbee - attempts to clone me have always been unsuccessful!! But I did read back and see there is a lower case version of my name. :rotfl:
    Jinkypinks - kiss.gif you made me blush... thank you poppet
    Poppy - hugs.gif
    Toots - smooch.gif
    LadyL - love.gif you are a darling, thank you also *hugs*
    Rosepink - hugs.gif I have LOTS of pots but they are all full of spring bulbs and my lilies and begonias etc already - these were earmarked for the front bank that my inlaws cleared and rediscovered last summer. It will eventually have your lavenders all over it with bulbs coming up through. As I said, my plan was just to throw them in anyway the first sunny day we get and let them fend for themselves! Let me know when you do yours and it will shame me, (hopefully) into doing mine.
    Dusty - hope your son is well enough to enjoy his birthday today
    ceebeeby - Your daughters sound just about normal to me!
    thankyou.gif For all the welcome backs and especially to Jinks and LadyL for being so effusive! Love you all for thinking of me.
    This is my absolute fave smilie having been a chanteuse in a previous existance... music-smiley-7517.gif and it's purple.. I may be in love with it, is that wrong?? giggle.gifToots darling, can I have it as my daily posting reward please as I can think of precious little occasion to use it otherwise!! :rotfl:
    Ok, off to find my list
    (The one and only) Diva.x
    (the capital letter makes all the difference giggle.gif)
    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.
