Hi Everyone :wave:

I luuuurrrrrrrvvvvvveeee Fridays, hate, hate, hate my job :mad:, I seem to be missing the rugrats a lot just now, feel like passing ships in the night. Just bringing list forward. My lovely DH took me out for dinner last night, I wanted DD to go but she wanted to go with her “cool” aunt (nothing to do with sitting in a silver sports car then eh?):rotfl: although it was nice just being the two of us

Hope you are all well

Sandy - good luck honey, I missed the bus (anyway am allergic to animal hair) but am thinking of you and please give us some news as soon as you can xx
Diva - Glad you got some reassurance, I went through a terrible time with DH and very stressful so hopefully it is only short term and isn’t it strange that it’s the nasty things that they remember rather than the nice things (((Hugs)))
Lady L – (((Hugs))) hope you are enjoying your ‘me’ time
Toots – (((Hugs))) hope you are well
Soappie – :rotfl: oooohhhh secret agent :eek:
Pigpen – How is the delegating of decorating going? Hope you never cooked wee fishes :eek:

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I missed the bus - I am sooooooooo sorry, I was battling my way round A5da. Forgive me? I was all clean and smelling nice too, only a few dog hairs stuck to me for a change.

Sandy please post as soon as you feel up to it and let us all know how you got on.

LW - I understand about the phone, I have to use it as work but am not keen using it at home. Nowhere near as bad as you, not even in the same league hun, bt I do understand. I sent you a PM yesterday, so excited about what you sent me! Please dont worry about answering, as and when you feel up to it is wonderful!
And congrats on the dog guests! Updates please!
Pigpen/Soappie thanks for clearing that up about the curtains!

AJmoney - positive vibes for your friend.

So today will not be doing much, zooming round with the hoover. Got to pamper my feet ready for tomorrow and the Big Walk. Got everything organised, just got to stick it all in my rucksack. I knwo its going to rain and it will be very windy and my feet will hurt and so will everything from the waist down, but I am looking forward to my personal challenge!

take care

Thank you.
I did see your PM, and have it in my head to do an answer, as soon as I can put together something coherent.

So much stuff running around my head at the mo; from April, they're changing Mr LW's working hours in that on Early shift, it'll be 06:00 to 14:30 instead of 07:00 to 15:30, and also they now have to be on call 24/7 for a week at a time. (This is new!) I'm sure it'll all be OK, but until I see it in action iyswim, I'm worrying. He's got to be permanently on call from 23rd to 29th April, as well as going into the office and doing his regular hours. There's also and Early and a Late shift during that week.

Anyway, enough of that; the little woofers will be with me from 4th to 13th April. I've not met them, but I'm assured that they're both delightful, and I can't wait for them to get here!:D
Oh, and I prob won't be star-seeking while they're here, just doing Level 1 and possibly 2. We'll see how we go.:o

I'm hoping that Sandy is as OK as possible, and await her next post.:o

Flying-wise:
Friday ~ Childrens rooms and spare rooms
Level One
Vacuum the floor, even if it's just where you can see Done (Mr LW)
Spend half an hour on YOU.. HHWii …. well, it IS time spent on me, on my quest to shift 3 stone!
Level Two
Clear away anything that isn't in it's place, clothes, toys, books etc All is as tidy as can be, bearing in mind the room is also a store.
Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade!! Done
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors Done; we hang wet coats on the back of that door to dry before putting away, so have given it a good polish to keep the wood nice.
Level Three
Strip beds and replace with fresh linen .. check if duvets need freshening up too!! N/A
Drag all that junk out from under the bed and deal with it as required e.g. bin, put away, wash etc N/A
Tidy the chests of clothes! All tidy - there's 1 small wardrobe and a small COD on there; I've checked and they are fine.

Extras

1. Fun one.. look in that medicine cupboard... is there anything you can fling? Is there anything you need to stock up on? Hayfever season and bite and sting season are both on their way! It's all fine; I have to pick up a prescription next Tuesday, but this is something I do stay well on top of.
2. Time for the Friday Flylady Fling, in the toy box!!!! aim for 27.. if no toy box you’ll have to choose another area! I honestly don't have another area to do a Fling in.... it's all been done!! Have done a cyber-fling on my emails, as I'm determined not to let them build up to silly amounts.
3. Clean 2 radiators or the skirting in any room of your choice!.. or if you have the bug today you could do both! Rads done.
4. Clean any one (or more) window that needs doing Done – chose the 2 glass panes in the back door, + the surrounding plastic.

FRIDAY STAR PLEASE:D

Hi everyone,

I'm so frustrated Barclays have screwed me over well and truly. They have reduced my credit .limit, charged for not making a payment and stopped my cash limit :mad: now get me wrong, i want to be out of debt, it was my just in case anything go wrong card. But i made the flipping payments on time!!!!!!!! It was they stupid system that mucked it up. So angry and annoyed.

Anyway met my friend for lunch, it was nice. Have to go back to town to pick up OH's mobile which he lost as well as some books.
sorted all the medicines/clothes out at the beginning of the week.

right going for a cuppa as i need one.
cycling yorkie: -thats awful
Friday ~ Childrens rooms and spare rooms ALL DONE star please toots!:j

Blimey, that was a tough one. I have just returned from the vet's with my friend. I think she already knew what she had to do but I wasn't sure if she would go through with it when she was talking to the vet. She is only 20, I didn't make any decisions like that at her age. We stayed while they did their job, I had one arm round her to comfort then realised one of the vets was as bad as her so hugged her too. I got a bit emotional too even though I didn't think I would. She sobbed all the way home in the car too and I wasn't quite sure what to say but she thanked me loads when I dropped her at home. Her horse was only 6 so pretty unfair all round really.

Thanks for all the vibes, my attention is now turned to OH for his observation.

Sweetie, there's nothing you can say in these situations; rest assured that just being there for your friend will have been enough. Like I said to CyclingYorkie earlier, life can be so unfair sometimes.
Continuing to send good vibes, as your OH could surely use them.

Afternoon all,

Since my last post i have

Picked up Ds2
Made & eaten lunch
