    Morning all

    OMG it's Tuesday already :eek: where is time flying to?

    I still have the rest of last weeks thread to read and I am not even going to start on this one but merely jump in right here right now. Oh and then say I am off out with my friend this morning :rotfl::rotfl: I am being a very absent flylady at the moment but TBH it has been good to be outside doing other things.

    The weekend was busy with swimming, fun running and St George's day parade (W was the only beaver on parade from his pack) . Then yesterday we had to go sort Dad's car out, in the afternoon we fixed trellising, mowed the grass and enjoyed the sun. Couple that lot with school runs and the usual after school activities and you see why I haven't been online! That and the fact that the pc was playing silly b*gger with me.

    Anyway onwards and upwards, or should that be school wards, see what I mean about time running away!

    Later Gators xx

    PS Hugs all round, no idea (yet) who needs what but take a hug, congrats, cmmiserations as appropriate ;)

    Morning campers, I'm feeling bright and perky for some reason..it won't last I know but I am making the most of it while it does..lol

    Oooh I have FINALLY catalogued my Yankee Candles - I'm horrified at what I have, way too many. So why did I place a small order for the new summer fragranced tarts and samplers? In my defence it was under £10.00 and DH did say I could order something to cheer myself up..so it's his fault..:rotfl: Although I imagine he will have forgotten when the credit bill comes in next month :rotfl: If anyone fancies being nosy then I have my list in word format and you are more than welcome to peruse it..
    Diva and anyone else :rotfl: Ooh we could do swapsies if I have any that someone wants and they fancy trading..lol

    I have been a good girl, I've sorted my meds out into the relative boxes for the coming week and I have the last lot of the dog beds in the wash. Typical as I cleaned the machine out of dog fur last night..I go and put another wash load of fur in..:rotfl:

    Special hugs to LL, Diva and Toots.

    Grateful *hugs* honey, I hope you are going to put an official complaint into the hospital/midwife section. Hope you managed to get some sleep tonight and aren't dwelling too much. Easy said I know honey, but I have been there, although not with the midwife ringing me up, but well with the other.
    LL hope you start to feel a bit better today honey and the sickness passes as quickly as it came. Good luck tomorrow. (haven't got my phone on me so hope it was tomorrow!)
    AnW'sMum enjoy your morning out with your friend. I know what you mean about wondering where the week has gone, I was wondering where the year had gone at the weekend as DH commented it was May this week..eeeks!!!
    Kez - ugh at those spiders, I now feel all itchy just thinking about them. I am a woss at the money spiders..lol
    Boddy aww poor puddy cat not liking your DB. Have a nice time with your mum.
    Greenbee, I thought I could do a long time with no sleep sometimes, but woah!! You beat everyone I think. Try and get some shuteye if you can honey.

      morning all, aching a wee bit from doing the kitchen yesterday, been a while since i did so much in one day
      think i'll just aim for level one today, my living room, has been neglected for some time, and has a serious clutter problem. ironing will also be done, as its all in the armchair that needs decluttering
      thanks to those that organise this thread, and everyone for their support

      Morning fellow flyladies!

      Today is DD2's French oral for her GCSE - so if anyone can spare some positive vibes at 3pm I would much appreciate it.

      Sunny here in York - Ds going fishing (hooray - peace) so have a mountain to iron...but I've bought a steam generator iron so I will be playing with this!

      Love and hugs to all who need them...and special vibes to PenPen.....who has never been anything except polite and supportive as far as I can see.

      Many thanks to our illustrious leaders....
      :jFlylady and proud of it:j
