    Good Morning All
    Busy day today, you have to put the country to rights:D; maybe a flylady policy list for Cameron (and Clegg), we'll let them do level 1s for a few weeks but then they've got to pull their finger out or LW and Toots will be flinging things at them and PM (Prime Motivator) Pigpen will be sent in

    Loving this, if they are even as effective as level 1 I will be well chuffed. Must be hormonal as cried at Cameron's speech (can't abide him) and even Clegg's few words...

    Wednesday - those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms
    Level One
    Clear away anything that isn't in it's place, clothes, toys, books etc
    Make an appointment for some ME-time.. hairdressers? manicure? night out with friends? .. whatever just do it!

    On the mend but off work again, will do what I can, think I'll be wiped out by lunchtime.

    Love and hugs to Toots, LL, Diva.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    I have to admit - I had a flylady dream last night!

    Pigpen and Toots were setting up an old-fashioned sweet shop in York - in the Davygate Centre - which was demolished years ago. i'd found the shop which they hadn't quite finished setting up and I was banging on the door shouting that I was cyclingyorkie!!!!!!!!!!


    I woke in a cold sweat - I've never seen myself as a stalker......

    24 hours after taking my last antibiotic - I feel FAB - no sickness,gas,exhaustion or running to the loo!

    Unfortunately the house is fit to be condemned! So there is much flying to be done today! Still at least it's sunny atm...

    Love the idea of a flylady political party! I'm a bit concerned that Cameron(:() is younger than I am :eek::eek:- the first PM to be so! I now have to comment that doctors, policemen and PM's are looking younger!

    Happy to help in a flylady coalition - maybe on the carers front (£55 a week for looking after our nearsest and dearest!!!!!!!!:mad:).

    DD1 was gutted that Eastenders was cancelled...and equally disappointed that Cameron and Clegg didn't go into No10 hand in hand ......would have made brilliant telly!

    OH has phoned to say that DD1 is in the paper today - she's in for ME awareness week - apparently they've given her a good writeup! Don't think it's on-line yet but if it makes it I'll post a link...maybe send a copy to Clegg and Cameron...

    Can i ask the get a grip party to please do something to improve things for special needs kids both within the NHS and schools and make it easier for parents and careers to be provided with the services they need.........................well I thought I would ask you as you have my vote ............. and I dont think cameron will ever answer the email he had from me 4 weeks ago about this:mad::wave:

    A couple of us are already campaigning for change within education and health for children with additional needs..
    I have to admit - I had a flylady dream last night!

    Awww.... If you wait until we are out of bed and actually open you can have a free barley twist!!

    cycling... I think it would be more like nose up rectum rather than hand in hand.. filthy slimey turn-coat scumbag Smeg... £6 MILLION funding cuts in public services.. have they any idea what this will do to health and education???? it does also mean the cuts to the police will be added to council tax bills so those will increase hugely... the 'surplus' staff will be made redundant/contracts not extended so the unemployment will skyrocket.. AND.. to make it worse.. as a coalition they don't have to have another general election until the full 4-5 year term is up.. what a hideous thought...

    How anyone in their right mind could have voted for the 'C's' (and that doesn't represent Conservative!!!) is beyond me... the first thing they do every time is hit the most vulnerable in society.. the young and the sick.. they'll start a compulsory euthanasia programme next for 'getting rid' of everyone over the age of retirement so they are not taking money from the country when they are non-productive... it'll be like Logans Run!!

    What a depressing day.:(

    Hope everyone is doing ok this morning.
    So far I have decluttered the kids to school, decluttered 1 coffee and am about to do my second in that area.

    Toots Thanks for the PM.
    Jinky hope your feeling better today.
    Diva thanks for the jam reciepe honey x

    I found a jam reciepe and cant make sense of it can anyone help??????????
    Black Currant and Rhubarb Jam
    Ingredients:
    1.00 L rhubarb (about 700 g)
    1.00 L black currants (about 800 g)
    650.00 mL water
    1625.00 mL sugar
    How do you get 1652 ml of sugar? Do you measure it in a jug? I'm used to doing things in grams. My blackcurrants aren't ready yet but judging by the bushes there will be loads.:T:T

    Off to check freecycle to see if anyone wants this bed I have to get it out of my bedroom and then I'll get started. I really should start in the kitchen but I won't;)

    I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged
