Sorry Ive been AWOL again! Pigpen, you have permission to fling as many mules as you feel like in this direction as my attendance has been appauling.
Hope all the usual suspects and my lovely flyladies are well, especially Toots. Mum is here with me still, and is now thinking of moving here permenantly so we have been busy sorting lots of stuff for her and trying to fit her into our house which had too much carp in it in the first place.
Ive also been without a laptop, as suddenly my operating system disappeared and had to be sent back to Dell. Anyway, its fixed now, house is not exactly pristine, I dont have enough hours in the day and I need to have a major clear out so make room for Mum - so Im back!!!!
