    Can I ask for flylady vibes for my gran? She's been rather unwell the last week or so, has had a mini-stroke type thing every day. It is resolving quickly but my mum is terrified she'll have a massive stroke and be left paralysed which none of them could cope with. They're currently trying to find out what is causing it (handily my sister works in the stroke unit!) as poor gran is petrified. I'm just going to ring her.

    My MIL had these (it was down to the meds she was on) and she did recover quickly after each one and there was no appreciable difference in her before and after. Hope your Gran finds out what's causing it soon and is ok.:)

    Gosh it's gone quiet!! *Shouts* Hello!!!!

    Am popping back at Jinky's suggestion...
    Have had a rubbish few weeks re flying and it was all going so well too!
    Ive had flu (strike three weeks outta my life) followed by a chest infection followed by having 2 kids asthmatic this week and consequently the house is slowly but surely slipping into a grubby mess. :(

    Time to pull my socks up methinks!

    Will be tackling the kitchen today, which is a disgrace! The white(ish) floor is almost grey I'm ashamed to say. :(

    I said to OH the other day, I ought to go back to my (you lot!) lists. We used to do an room a day in an hour between us and the house was lovely. Now it's almost at the "there's so much to do I can't do anything" stage. Time to nip it in the bud!

    Much love & hugs to all.
    Have missed you, girls ;)
    :rotfl:If you have made someone laugh today... check your skirt isn't tucked into your knickers!!!:rotfl:
    Mrs B you're a legend.
