    1. Morning FlyLadies and Happy Birthday Natty!!

      Just a quick hello as even though I've not had chance to do much flying this week I still want to join in the thread else its too easy to get a CBA attitude!

      I promise I will do some proper flying soon just had a manic busy week. Off out again for a couple hours at 11:30 but plan to wizz the hoover around before I go.

      Have a great day flying and will check in later

      :bdaycake:Happy Birthday Natty


      It's bright and sunny here in Valliland. I had arranged to go and visit my sister with mum and DD and to pick up a 'new' laptop while there but we are not risking the journey to Northampton as the weather is dodgy. Both my kids are off now as they have two days INSET so, as I got up before them I have had all my glasses out of the display cabinet (they're crystal) and the have been washed and dried and look lovely now. Kids are now up so I will get on with some 'proper' flying shortly. I have also dealt with two calls from school about the order I have put in as it's the last day to spend this years budget...I have order stuff to enrich children's learning - video cameras for them to use, digital cameras so that all staff can take photos for the website and for evidence and some hardware to make sure that, if keyboards and mice (mouses?) fail we can get PCs up and running quickly - oh and some new headphobnes as we have some taped together! I do like spending other people's money!

      Sexy- glad you have a diagnosis - when you mentioned 'fever' I did wonder if you have flu - I really do think that the stress you have been under has made you vulnerable. Please do take as much timne as you need to to get over this properly - when my dad had flu it did develop into pneumonia and he was off work for months - if necessary have some MORE time off AFTER half term!

      Oh I have washing on the line!

      Now off to see what I should have been doing...

      My Evans storecard is now paid off in full!:beer::beer::j:j:money:Only the VISA card to go then1:mad:[/QUOTE]
      Well done cycling yorkie thats another bit of brilliant news - well now you can throw the evans money at the visa and that will help - WTG:T:T

      FFP well done to Dean - and hope BiL is ok - half term will soon be past so dont get too stressed - get them roped in to help in the house with the promise of a good dvd for everybody or something like that that doesnt involve loads of money or going out and you can all relax together??

      ok back to today......

      HSbirthpressies_5172_064_7483.gifHAPPY BIRTHDAY HS473949fjm3tcg78d_7404.gif

      HSth_HUGS2.gif
      Mumof2 I hope you Father gets on ok with his treatment - it will depend on which drugs they give him as to how 'ill' he is but lets hope its worth it to ease his pain. Glad you managed to speak to DH - as for the stars - dont stress just do what you can its all beneficial and stops the house becoming a real mess - you will soon catch up after half term.
      keys it really isnt that bad and you certainly not be petrified - yes its unpleasant and undignified but if it saves your life then it has to be worth it??????????
      Diva thats sound better for Tris and Michelle - long may their progress continue. (((hugs))) for you all. Ahem!!!! that item about ringing Orange re missing credit seems to have been on that list of yours for a wee while????:p
      Dusty get to bed early or you will be spending your first days of the holiday sleeping!!!!!:rotfl: It is very cold here - white with frost but no more snow so i guess i am luckier than some of you.
      Jinky hope you travel plans all work out - have fun with DD (((hugs)))
      sexy have a huge squishy (((hug))) no wonder you feel so bad - rest and plenty fluids - hope you begin to feel better soon and STOP feeling guilty.
      LadyL HSkittenhug.gif hope the BD is getting nearer the door - be extra nice to yourself - lots of love xx
      Poppy nice to hear you are beginning to feel better - xx
      FFP I thought the Afghan would have been finished by now - stop slacking woman:rotfl:(says she who has things on pins from waaaaaaaaaay back then:o)
      hello Lisa - nice to see you:D
      lil_me you certainly dont seem to be so tressed as before - maybe the smaller house and getting things sorted has helped? hope the studying is ok and I think you would do very well speaking to the conference because you are so passionate about the work you do for children.
      hellsbells good to see you are being sensible about the jobs you will do and crack the whip on these girls - even a bit of bribery ???
      oh NO leed - RIP your WM - good luck with the search - its amazing how we cant do withouit these things isnt it?
      Pigpen had better not forget your highness - hope your week has improved - hows the puddys - hazel (has she fully adjusted to her one eye now?) peaches and cant remember the other kitten's name?
      SGT are you still lurking with us?
      Juliejim I dont think i saw a post from you this morning - are you ok hun?

      ok thas me caught up and now must try to shrink the list - my cleaner will be here in the afternoon but I need ironing done so will try to do a few jobs myself and I want to shred and fill the paper bin for tomorrow.

      have already done most of my daillies and 1 x WM which is about to be hung outside.

      toots xx

    6. Happy Birthday Natty - have a good one x :bdaycake:

      Got in the shower this morning just wet my hair when it went cold!!! Ran it for ages wouldn't get hot again, stood there shivering my bits off thinking !!!!!! do I do now?!! So tried drying myself with hands so cold they couldn't hold the towel properly and dried my wet dirty hair, sprayed loads of deoderant and came to work!! Good news is I'm leaving work in a minute for the gas people who do loads of work for our lettings side to come and fix it - something to do with the inlet to the heat exchanger. Might as well be speaking swahili to me!!

      Love and hugs all round especially to LL. Jinks have a fab time with DD. Sexy - hope you feel better soon
      Back later x
