many thanks to all those at flylady central command!

Fingers crossed for Eng Lit,Chemisty and Physics this week.
Hugs to all who need them - esp Toots, L-L, Diva,Gran and anyone else I've frorgotten.
Also hugs to all the parents of those doing exams....:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Ugh it's too hot already, although that might have something to do with me ironing away..lol. I have another 40 mins to go then I am heading off to the shower.
Must hunt out my sun hat if I am going to be outside in the garden potting up and cleaning windows. Don't particularly fancy going down with sunstrokeShall hunt out some summer cleaning music and stick it on the surround sound, luckily everyone is at work around me so I can blast myself out to my hearts content
PP I am going to be texting LL later this morning so will pass your love on to her as well as everyone elses

Morning all
Kids dispatched to school slathered in sun cream, I got some soltan 6 hr stuff from boots so hoping it does what it says on the tin as they are not allowed to take spray cream in and there is no way I am sending W with a tube of cream, it would all be gone on day 1!
Wall to wall sun here again, DW unloaded, WM on, recycling out and note sent to school asking if they can recycle laser cartridges for funds (got 3 from work).Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0 -

Nice and sunny here today and I'm off back to my bed for a wee while. I have a headache and a sore throat think it's all the change in the weather so not used to having more than one day of sunshine;). I'm pleased to announce I have new neighbours so that is a worry off my mind:T. Kids away to school armed with their pocket money to buy books the school is selling off I'm dreading them coming home they have a fiver each and the books are 5p and 10p and you know what this place is like for books :eek:. I had ordered new wardrobes and chests of drawers for the boys but I have been gifted similar ones and they are only a month old so I cancelled order, I'm well chuffed. It means the boys will have 2 wardrobes each now and I might get their clothes away neatly!Funfairs list of daily dreads
