    Morning folks

    Thanks to all those in Flylady Central Command.

    Seems very windy outside ATM, so in bed with lappy and the cat is cuddled up on the duvet, as much to say I'm not moving unless I have to!!

    Off to do bits and pieces today

    Mumto5~~ I smoked when I was 16 for 3 weeks, then went out with a lad who I had been after for ages :o he told me if I didn't stop he would dump me, and that was a big thing to me in those days, so I stopped, 4 weeks later I decided he was boring so I dumped him!!! :rotfl:and never went back to smoking.

    Have a good day.
