    Morning lovely flyladies,
    welcome2.gifJennyjewell
    Toots - hugs.gif
    Rosepink- kiss.gif
    LadyL - love.gifNever going to give up on you hon!!
    Jinkypinks - smooch.gif Don't think I haven't noticed I have slipped down your siggy to third... :rotfl::rotfl:Big squishy hugs for you honey.
    Duane - great name and gosh aren't you like your mum?!smile_tongue.gif
    Poppy - hugs.gif
    embb - well done on getting a bank account again!
    Tooch - Oooh I like that film too though not such a huge fan of him as I am of Brucey! What is the other film about that you are looking for?
    Pigpen - I'm so sorry you're going through so much right now.
    Prettypennies - great news re the smear; you can relax again now.
    helen - Good luck for today
    Diva - your house must smell lovely with all that baking - making my mouth water
    It does.. and I made 6 fruit pies yesterday and four cheese, onion and pepper pasties also.

    One of my friends has been diagnosed bi-polar (at 42) which to be frank is a relief because he has been manic for about 12 months now and I was really worried he was going to have a breakdown. At least they can now find some medication to even him out. He has not had any symptoms at any other point in his life so it was very noticable that he hasn't been himself for over a year.
    head%20cold.gif Hope all the poorly flyladies feel better today.
    Off to find my list.

    Morning All

    I've got up and washed the remaining 2 windows in the conservatory as I'm going to have a bath in a min as they were filthy so I wanted to do them first.

    Not sure what we're doing today yet although I know we're going to mum and dad's for tea and I've got to go to the tip. DH has put the charity stuff in his boot to either drop off tonight or tomorrow so they're already out of the way.

    Helen - hope the interview goes well - good luck!

    Right I'm off to have my bath and that will count as my me time providing the kids stay in bed for a bit longer - well DD as DS will just come downstairs anyway.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Good morning all. Hope everyone's well. My lists aren't going too well, although the house is looking better and I am staying on top of things at the moment (only cos I'm off work). Thank you all for advice and support, sorry I can't use the thanks buttons at the bottom of your posts. :(
