Hello! Sorry I wasn't on yesterday, bit of a hectic day. I overslept so did nothing I'd planned in the morning and then we had to go out for an appointment about 30 miles away, and so most of the day was gone. It was a fairly good day though.
Got up early today at 7am! Had to drop off an order at a friend's house before she went to work, as it was for one of her colleagues. Glad it was right this time, I've made it three times for this lady, but today's offering was suitable! Yay! Came back, parked at the end of our road and walked home! Only a 5 minute walk, but v pleased with myself! Have done masses of knitting today too, some work stuff online, started DH's accounts, and some flying!
Flying: Dusted LR and BR, cleared floors DH's side of bed and bathroom, washed up, did some washing, tidying.
A busy day, but very productive. I'm really pleased wiht myself!
I've not caught up with thread, sorry!
Boddy do you think the RSPCA should take the next door cat? I know you’ve been feeding it but I feel so sorry for the poor little thing being abandoned like that
Dreamywings congrats on the engagement and getting out of debt, well done you!
Hugs Sandy xx

Glamazon if you get rid of your car you can get a partial refund on your car tax I think, we got one for when we scrapped one of our cars last year

Feeling a bit unsettled this evening, need to make a decision on a friendship and I'm in a dilemma. I don't like bad feeling and confrontation but I'm fighting my own principles.

Change of plan for next week it seems. Just had a call from my mother's OH and mum is still in hospital (6 weeks now) and they still dont know what's wrong with her. As I am in London on Monday, I will be going from there to see her, as London is a lot closer to her than I am. Dont really know what's going on, but I have a bad feeling about this.

Evening everyone
have finally caught up with the last couple of days................
Dusty how are the boys' and their broken bits - are they managing ok? and very well done to DS2 and his maths challenge - excellent result :T
LameWolf thanks for the photo of Molly she is adorable - was that taken with you last year on her hols too? how lovely to have her - is she ok with you or do you find her a handful - depends on her age I suppose - she looks quite a docile doggy - i could cuddle her!!! Hope your tum has settled now.
Boddy that must be a nice feeling to pay off part of your mortgage:T thanl goodness the neighbours are finally away:T Hope there is better news on your colleague - continued healing vibes being sent.
Piggers I am glad that Moomin had a good time at the skating - they just have to keep the sessions short and make her rest in between maybe - although she probably will need to be dragged off the ice if she is enjoying it!!!! Hope the pain has eased now (((hugs))) for her.
macpep hope Dh gets his rota sorted.
Glamazon what about trying freegle/freecycle for a wardrobe and /or chest of drawers to keep you going for now?
Jo Hello :hello: and well done to Sebastian:T:T:T:T ( check out post 3!) Hope Copper has recovered!
Mummyyof5 of course you should post if only to tell us how sore you are!!!! its good to see the children have been helping - keep it going - there is no reason why it should stop - whatever little they do helps you and gives you time to do the extra flylady bits without being worn out!
Liuhut good to have you back with us - hope life is treating you all well?
Diva hope the SW meeting today has a positive outcome xx
LilySue chin up pet it will be worth it in the end - how much longer until its finished?
toochoosey now that all the stuff from the attic is going in the caravan you will be able to get the attic TIDY!!!!!!:rotfl: and no clutter - you have time before the caravan stuff comes back again and theis time you will have a proper space to put it in....wont you:p:p well at least thats one thing they know its not - hope they get something sorted for you pretty quick (((hugs))) awh more (((hugs))) pet re DD well she wont get her big star this week for that little episode - I hope she gets her room sorted and well done for being strong with her - its for her own good.No star for me today. I cant clean the window in the bathroom unless i :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: and im just not that dedicated! ,
Love to all,
H
Vanilla hope you got the tumble dyer fixed
dreamywings i know I have said it already but WELL DONE:T I am gobsmaocked at what your raised with selling your gowns etc!!!
tiredanddesperate :T:T:T well done on your achievement - I hope it spurs you on to get more stars next week - what you have done this week will hopefully be easier next week too Notso when I read the rest of your post I think you are doing very well - but good grief that is some amount of bookshelves...220 feet...bet hex will be drooling:rotfl:
Emma try to do 10 items of ironing everyday - babysteps - dont look at the whole pile or you will get really disheartened - just be firm with your self and do a fixed amount everyday - 10 things would be 30 mins maybe???? and good luck with the stopping smoking - thats a big step - well done xx
sandy sorry I missed your post re the cat - massive (((hugs))) and I hope you are coming to terms with it now -poor puddy is no longer suffering and is at peace. Hope the meeting went ok at work. And I am sorry to see the hosp appt didnt go too well.
Pooh what a lovely idea with the ring xx
piggers - its the DHss that the mortgage payments come from so start with them but failing that your building society should be able to tell you if the arrangement is in place and they will confirm it in writing.
LadyL thanks for the update on Mudders
Ishtar hope its not tonsilitis - take care (((hugs)))
Radish *ouch* hope you got all the grippers and staples lifted now
Triker well done getting the mileage done - that must have been a real chore having to go so far back - naughty lady - dont do it again:p:rotfl: thats a lot to sort through -be very good and dont get too tired!
Holly glad you have finally got the rabbits outside - that should make life easier inside!!!
Mumof2 hope you are feeling better hun and well done to Betsy - whats up with the others - are they on strike or something??????

JInky (((hugs))) hope you get the eejit sorted soon
Aunty :hello: hope you havent had any more snow - its been fairly dry here today but cold and windy
Dusty great decluttering schedule - brilliant thinking sweetie- what about adding other drawers (not clothes ones) to the wooden day - if Pen pen says it cant bea thread on its own I cant see aproblem adding it in with people's posts - its only for a week just now - so if they are just adding
Monday - paper - have sorted through filing , have shredded or whatever then it wont make a huge difference - just so long as there are not loads of posts about it separately IYSWIM - anyway will see what Penny comes back with. It is part of the flying afteer all - and people always have their own personal extra lists too?
Kazwookie hope everyhtings is ok (((hugs)))
diluvdiscounts - well just delete the stuff you have done!!!
DayDreamBeliever - (((hugs)))) for the pain - hope the new doc gets to the root of the problem - and well done taking on all that catering - you are brave - good luck with it :T
soappie great news about the extra 3 months - I am sure they wont want to lose you so there will always be some little task that needs the soappie touch!
Glamazon congrats on the new car!!!!:D
MrsChaos but maybe its a bit better that he is staying in rather than going out on his own in a bad mood????
kazwookie thats a very good percentage sold - well done to you:T
Benw hope you are wrong with your feelings - could you figure out a time for when you will be there and make an appointment with a doctor in advance?
