Rose - wow your business seems to be going really well! Go you! You know a certain someone (Toots ) will be on your case if you let the flying drop though! Remember how much nicer everything is when the flat is tidy!

If someone gave you a present - several years ago - and you no longer have any use for it are you free to do what you like with it?

Yes, they gave it to you, it is no longer their property, and I certainly don't check years later if people still have the gifts I gave them

Absolutely, the flat is much better when it's tidy and clean! Thanks for the encouragement, I have let things slip a little. Work is going ok, not had many online sales so am focusing on the craft markets, and working every hour there is to build up my stock! My first one is in two weeks, so am working like crazy to get ready. How are you my love?

I've tidied kitchen floor, and hoovered that and LR floor. It was so dirty! It's been a couple of weeks since I've done a thorough hoover and it really needed it. Seeing how clean it is will hopefully incentivise me to finish the bedroom and bathroom floors either later today or on Monday.
Got to go out now to drop a cheque off, see you later! Going to be working when I get back so might not get back on here today, will see how it goes

Love and hugs to you all xx

toochoosey well done with the weight loss
jinky YES GET IT DONE!!!! you bad young lady - get thee to a doc today and get registered and more meds - you still need them and you cant just stop them like that - its not good for you (((hugs)))
Triker (((hugs))) for DD and her pal - I hope the school sorts the bullies asap
kalojac nice to see you back on the flylady wagon again - it wont take you long to get things sorted. You dont have to worry about the 8pm sunday deadline as we are not doing stars just now.
natty naughty lady not taking your tablets on wednesday - hope you get some sleep this morning:D

We're now hung................. and that is not the washing

oh Dusty you are so funny - yes the inevitable hung parliament in which they will never agree about anything so no doubt we will have another gen election in a couple of years!
macpep (((hugs)))well done for acceptimg that you need help that is the first step - hope you told the doc everything - you cant keep up a front for ever honey - we are all here to support you too if you need us.xx
rosepink its good that you have been busy but I am disappointed that you have let the flat slip especially after all the lovely help you got from the ladies of your church and your MiL. It is possible to do both but you have to be disciplined and not let the craft stuff take over.
cyclingyorkie oh honey (((hugs))) hope you feel better later and they dont make too much mess or noise
Triker awwwwwwwwhhhhhh what a lovely DH xx
Carol hello honey - are you getting organised to go now? I must email you later. xx
Aunty of course you can do whatever you want with it - we all keep things far too long because someone gave it to us - we feel guilty and we shouldnt - if it no longer gives you pleasure or is useful then part with it - someone else might be glad of it.

so far I have done some of the dailies and have 1 xWM load out on the line.
must go across to shop and get soap powder for more loads
Its quite nice here at the moment - bright but I think we will have showers later.
toots xx

Happy Birthday Triker :bdaycake:

Make sure you all do as toots says (piggers has been a bad example recently and overdoing things) and behave :p:p
