List of what men are needed for now amended

I can't imagine there's much left on it now... maybe we should have an update session over the weekend I need reminding... but I think I have more need of a nice 1950s housewife ...

jinks... are we allowed to know who your coffee & cake date is??? or are you hiding them from us??

Hello everyone. Haven't been on for a couple of days and there is a lot to read so hugs to those that need them.

I am a complete failure with my flying this week:( The house looks like a bomb has hit it again and I just can't face doing it.

To make matters even worse we have run out of wine:eek:

Notso - (((hugs))) I want to echo what everyone has said,we are here if you you need us. I hope things get better for you.
LameWolf now listen here young lady - we have had this conversation before - Mr LW would be long gone if he was fed up with you being 'disabled' he doesnt see you that way - he wouldnt be bothered looking after you or the house if he didnt love you - now stop thinking that way right now - I will not have such silly thoughts on my shift!!!!! I think from what you have said you have a lovely DH - your pal that split up is not you or your DH -just because they have split it doesnt mean you will - I think you must have caught rabies or mad dog disease from yoir last lodgers - oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh a miniature schnauser- I would have one of them. Chin up honey and look forward to next week and your furry visitor. (((hugs)))
newlywed (((hugs))) I hope things start to improve for you - you have had a tough time.

Evening all

I've read a bit of the thread and sorted tea since coming back from work. Apart from that I've decluttered airmiles and some cash to book eurostar tickets for our summer holiday. If anyone knows how to get hold of cheaper Eurodisney tickets, I'd really appreciate it. So far Expedia has the best price.

Here's my plan for the rest of the weekend. Flying tomorrow morning (more like crisis cleaning), followed by a trip to costco. Hopefully more flying or time in the garden when I get back. Must also buy paint for DS2's playhouse. Maybe go out with DH - not sure yet. More work outside, a bit more flying and school stuff on Sunday. Must also do HW with DS2 and [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] encourage DS1 to revise for first GCSE exams this week. :eek:

Going to put DW on now before we completely run out of clean stuff, then grab a drink and my book and go to bed. I hope all BDs are sent packing and everyone has a good weekend.

I'm on fire tonight - I've decluttered the fridge (much more room in there now ), cleared some of the freezer (making banana cake), decluttered a significant portion of aforementioned banana cake and spent a lot of time seriously considering washing up the loaf pan that I baked it in. I feel positively angelic

I hope all you lovely flylady's are being as constructive as moi Hugs to all that need them and night night x x x

Thanks for the well wishes Toots, I feel much better, and in fact cleaned out the DVD cupboard AND the shoe cupboard. Two of my most hideous dungeons.

I don't drink, so I'm decluttering a diet coke right now

LTL, don't worry, baby steps right? Keep posting, and find some wine!

Vali, you rock!!!!!!
