    Morning all

    Have just read through a couple of pages and will see what I can remember

    Froddy - poor you, what a lot of difficulties there have been recently, must be so hard seeing these little kids suffer. Thoughts and prayers for the little boy, his family and you xx

    soappie - well done on the extension - boring job is better than no job!

    BenW - hope you get to the bottom of things with your mum

    Dusty - well done on getting it all done, hope you've been able to think clearly about the friendship. Feel free to pm if you need a chat x

    Diva - sounds rubbish about the shower, glad that you got some kind of positive outcome from the nurse/sw etc. My mum manages DNs (and does some clinical still) and she cares so much about looking after people in their own homes.

    Diluvsdiscounts - sometimes pigpen puts up a weekend list but it's always optional and not for stars. Lots of us who work especially end up catching up at weekends and some of us come up with our own lists just to help motivate us.

    sexy - hasn't been around much that I've seen. hope all is ok

    serena - well done DS1, what a star!

    Moam - phew, enjoy your celebratory breakfast!

    Morning ladies

    Havent been around much due to a very busy week and DH being away so flying has been somewhat limited. Have read very little of fred either but snatched a glance at the last couple of pages
    Once again, I'd like to ask for flylady vibes and prayers please. A boy in my class has been off sick this week (he is almost never ill) and yesterday we heard he had been taken to hospital because he was becoming less and less responsive and his right arm and leg were very weak. We think they are doing / have done a scan. He is usually very lively, happy and funny and I am missing my little 'shadow' and am quite worried. We didn't hear any update today so I won't know any more until Monday now. Thanks for listening xx
    Hugs and prayers for the little lad, and positive vibes fro Portsmouth!

    Hi All,

    Im sorry - Ive fallen so far behind with the thread this week, /i havent been able to keep up - again! Sorry.

    Woofit has still been sick everyday so has ended up back at the Vet - he got a big needle and special dog food so has finally stopped puking.

    The good news is though, my mum and sister are finally home!!!

    My mum was flown home business class so she was pleased....:D My sister was slightly jealous though when they kept her in economy class :rotfl::rotfl:

    Thank you so much for sebastians award - he really likes it, and Ive told him he has to help everyday before he can get a big twirly star. He has been very good and helped me everyday. So far today he has helped gather up all the laundry and brought it downstairs. He is going to help get the lists finished today. Hes a good boy x
    Glad to hear your mum and sister are home safely. Hope woofit improves soon and well done to your little man

    Morning flygang,
    It's a great morning here - it's school admissions day - and after several minutes of pressing F5 we have been allocated the school we wanted!!

    So I think a celebratory breakfast will be onrder...
    Moam
    Is this admissions for secondary schools, would love to know how to get the info if it is.


    Really should do something as I have a short weekend too, DH should be home later is driving home from Cumbria and forecast said dry with occasional showers and we've got pouring rain so I hope it isnt like that all the way down from there. We're out with friends tonight for a chinese and tomorrow I have to work in the afternoon!

    This morning have managed to make a cuppa and feed the dog a burger that was left over from the kids tea tonight :rotfl: and thats about it. Guess I better go have another cuppa and some food and crack on - darent even look at the list as I have done nothing from it :o

    See you all later

    ETA Meant to say big hugs to everyone who needs them

    Morning all

    We have the odd glimmer of sun here so I'm off into the garden to prune my roses whilst I have the chance

    So do I. The weather gods were just teasing me yesterday. Today was supposed to be blowy but fine. What have we got? Heavy rain! :(

    Me too. I have never been so desperate for spring to spring.

    Morning All

    Rach - I've sent you a pm - just so you don't get bored!:p

    Froddy - hope your shadow is on the mend.

    I've been looking at hotels and stuff all morning so nothing done so far. However, this afternoon we have a party 1.30 - 3.30 and then I have 2 extra kids coming to stay from about 6 until sometime tomorrow afternoon so that's my weekend sorted.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

  • Is it just me or did the French need a flylady or two last night? The blue colour in their rugby jerseys ran all over their white shorts, and the referee didn't even deduct any points.

    And...where is greenbee?

    wm on, and woodburner screen cleaned with cotton wool and vinegar.

    Got my interview in 50 mins and feeling nervous - can you send me some relax vibes please?

    I'll let you know how it goes but it's very scarey when you haven't had an interview for 25 years :eek:!
