    Hiya
    Big hugs to GnB and her little one - hope you get some sleep tonight xxxxx
    LL - thinking of you tomorrow, I'm with you on this one xx
    Piggers - totally out of order, I'd be having words with EVERYONE! Down right wierd too!

    I've scraped the stairs of dog hair. Does anyone else have this problem if they have laminate downstairs and carpet on the stairs - dog hair sticks to the carpet like glue despite sweeping/vacuuming a couple of times a day! Grrrr!

    Right, time for zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    Hugs to all xx

    I've just had a look at my new style of posting for Weds & I cant believe how much I managed to get done! Think it must be working this flying lark.
    Worries me tho what will happen when I am back to work...What I might do is print off this weeks list & I cross through it as I go then work on the next weeks list the week after - if that makes sense. Mind you that will be very confuzzerling if I am on a different list....Ummm what to do?

    MM almost all the level ones done so far this week - I'm impressed with myself!
    I THINK is a whole sentence, not a replacement for I Know
