    I'm here - going to catch up on last week's thread in a min although I did see some of it at Froddy's.

    :bdaycake: Happy Birthday msgnomey - hope you have a great day.

    Okay I'm going to have a flick through the weekend's going ons and then I suppose I'd better look at the list!

    :xmastree: Hi gien! Another one on here tonight!!!!! You and Marru :j:j

    Welcome aboard, the Christmas Tree is so our meeter and greeter will send you a PM to welcome you along.

    Good luck, don't over stress about it and take it easy at first to get there slowly and the thread really helps with the decluttering too

    Hi there Sparkles... didn't realise you and Marru were flyladies too. I so need to get my act together with the house - it gets embarassing really the state the house gets into and it's not liek I work outside the home either.


    SO a late start today (DD is still on school hols till tomorrow) but I have put on the tumble dryer and emptied the dishwasher.
    Next on list: Breakfast!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Morning everyone.

    DH is away, and I'm without car from 10.30. I doubt it will pass the mot it's just a question of how much it costs to get it through it.

    DS3 is off to tennis this morning. DF is picking him up/bringing him back. I need to get to Mr T before I have to take the car in.

    Kitchen isn't looking too bad but I've had a very busy weekend and the house is in need of love and attention.

    Misti puss has been beaten up. She's got lumps out of her head, she let me bathe them with water last night. I hope they don't get infected.

    Happy Birthday to msgnomey, Mummyyof5's DS, and to Jackywhizz's DH

    Off to get dressed and hit Mr T before tackling the list.

    Morning all,

    Well my first job of the day is an unexpected one - after commenting to mumofjusttwo and Natty at the weekend that since Ebony has only had 3 legs instead of 4, that he doesn't hunt any more, I've just found a load of baby bird feathers on the front doormat! So, will need to get the hoover out. rolleye0010.gif

    Kitchen isn't looking too bad, so I expect a HHC will get the list done. Haven't had breakfast yet, so off to do that, have my shower and get dressed, and then I'll be announcing a HHC.

    anim_34.gif to msgnomey - hope you have a fab day.

    Hello to all of my flylady friends. happy0207.gif

    Be back soon,

    sexymouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning everyone, kitchen is in an awful state this morning.:mad: I suppose once the crap is lifted it won't be too bad.
    Hubby appointment at 10.45 also need to go to bank, peacocks (voucher for xmas), butchers, shop and paint shop. It's gonna be a very busy day. Hopefully bathroom suite will be here after lunch.:D

    Right best get the school run done and sort there money out. See you all later.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
