    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello all, I'm here, if belatedly this week. Thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie.

    I managed to get DS1's room finished last week (it looks 'awesome' - his word) and the rest of the house tidied when his stuff was put back, dailies all done but not much else.

    Might not get much done this week apart from dailies/level 1s. I got an appointment to see Professor Shaw at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital tomorrow (it only came through on Saturday:eek:). She specialises in HSP and Motor Neurone disease so I'm quite hopeful/sick to my stomach with nerves about seeing her. Could really do with some positive vibes/prayers, pretty please.

    Got to (paid) work for the rest of today to make up for tomorrow.

    Not had chance to read all the thread but I'm sorry about PenPen and to have missed GnB's birthday and hope her LO is better soon. Hugs to everyone else.

    GnB~ hugs for your LO

    Not being a very good flylady ATM, for some daft reason, I just feel like everything is on top of me, I'm not ill, or anything, most odd.

    So far today:-
    Swept floors
    I've made a list of what needs doing urgently, now just got to do it.
    Sharpened my kitchen knives at work on the sharpen thingy the men use!!
    Cancelled my accounts on 6 other forums I was on.

    I have for now, decided that my red pepper egg style timer is getting set for 1 hour, in the evenings when I log on to the internet, and when it goes off, I log off, I am spending far too much time, on this site and others
    .

    Hugs to all, hi to any newbies.

    Level One

    Level Three

    :coffee:anyone?? Then I'm off to the allotment. The rest of the ground floor will get done after dark - too nice to stay indoors!

    I'm wishing I hadn't read Pen-Pen's thread - made me feel really down.

    Love and hugs to GnB's DD - and indeed to all the family.

    Didn't you know... dogs have owners, cats have STAFF :D (or in the case of Dusty's QV... subjects :p)

    I haven't tried that model of deterrent, but I have two 8 or 9 year old ones that are pretty effective. I'm getting one of those and going to try it, as it claims to be silent. Unfortunately I can hear mine. Then again, I can hear the phone charging and the wireless signal from the router...

    (((hugs))) GnB and LO

    The cheeky devils can swan off, i WILL make them chase the spiders away! At least i forced them to kill a few mice. I will not be a slave *stamps foot* while contemplating buying the cat some treats:o.

    Piggers :- DS1 thought that yesterday, when he got up late, i just said right theys the keys i expect you to be out the house by the time i'm back. Sure as pie they he was fully loaded up looking very sheepish with a slice of toast in his hand. Today he was up bright as a button and out of the door 8:45.

    Greenbee - should i buy the spider thingy hmmm:T congrats on the garden!!! Looking very smart.

    chocolate : - load of codswollap, whenever i eat it feel fine and pain free. People, me especially naturally depressive. Seratonium is found in chocolate and in our brain, it is what's released when we feel happy, so choccy helps the serotonin flow.
