    Aw shucks ladies - thanks for all your kind words of welcome! I'll keep the update short and sweet.....I logged off for a cup of Valerian Tea (good one Hex2!) then moved to the Isle of Man! The Island was great, but my job didn't really agree with me, so I'm back in Blighty, and flying! I hope that you are all well - update me on what I've missed - any more Flybabies?

    Hi all :wave:

    Went away on a short holiday back in April and spectacularly fell off the flylady wagon (both housework wise and following the thread) and boy does it show! :(

    So please can i join in again, as everything was so much better when I did.

    Thanks,

    Evening all, I am in this week please. Finally caught up on last weeks thread and a big hug to all that need them.

    I am off to one of best friends weddings on Friday and I absolutely cannot wait so going to try and do most of the stuff I need to during the week so I can relax at the weekend.

    Thanks to those who keep the thread in order and healing vibes to all who are poorly x x x x

    Hi toochoosey, all's well thanks. Still at SW, it's going slow (too many bank holidays and school hols lol) but at least it's still going down, have done 16lbs so far.

    Good luck with getting back on track.

    i will try my best but being back to work means i'll probably struggle! I'll find my little list of bits and bobs to transfer to this thread when i have a minute.

    for now i'm off to hang up the wet washing and then go to bed in the hope of sleeping and not keep waking dh up!

    Right, start as I mean to go on - which means I need to be bright eye'd and bushy tailed tomorrow - so it's off to bed for me. Sweet dreams everyone!

    Right Operation Get the Cooker fixed has commenced... I had a flash of inspiration and looked in the yellow pages and found some local engineers so I'll have to investigate tomorrow.

    Also decided to use my breadmaker as I haven't for a very long time. All set up for a loaf tomorrow...well if the yeast works, it's a bit out of date.:o

    Whilst I was looking for the yeast I found tons of stuff in my cupboards that needs using, I must stop buyng food and use what I've got.

    Right off for a mooch round the boards, hubby has a very early start tomorrow and a long journey so I hope he rests properly tonight.
