PP - the roses are on 2 for £20 at our big 'garden centre group' place if you are in the free to join gardening club www.yourgardeningclub.co.uk
Looks like there are quite a few up your way.

And today is the first day of our new start so what are we doing? DH is in bed with imminent man flu - probably a reaction to the stress. He has a call to return about a local job when he does get up but I don't care because he looks ten years younger. I think you only appreciate how bad things have been when the problem is switched off. Last night we slept without his work mobile for the first time in over a year .

Running out of time to clean and tidy before MIL arrives :cool: and I feel slightly *delicate* this morning but nothing vast quanities of tea won't shift.

I have quickly skimmed, enough to say

LW please don't lurk. Your efforts with Mr LW often keep me flying and I loved reading about Sidney, looking forward to more doggy posts. Please stay if only to give the rest of us more SOAADFA time reading your posts

I have today off and have already dropped the car off for its MOT and service so I am going to fly while the garage run up a bill for my car

Jo :- what a nigtmare your all going through. excellent advice from piggers anf=d the others.sometimes you just have to let them go.
toots: -wow the church looks lovely!
varlsberfal :- so glad OH and danny are both doing well and back home :j:j. Fingers crossed about the contractions.

sorry haven't been on, its just been so hectic. Visited family yesterday, so wished i hadn't. Ended up having a massive argument with my sister and storming off. Told my Oh when he got back from work, he was shocked we were home. Normally i have the boys out and playing till quite late.But last night even they got sick and were appalled by my sisters behaviour, that's how bad it was.

List wise if its gone its done! Not doing extras as i have far too much general cleaning to do.

Argh:eek:! So much to do!

Was busy at with my friends wedding on Mon/Tues, then spent day in town with my sister yesterday (saw SATC 2 on orange wednesdays and she bought the Ben and Jerrys so fairly MSE) so playing catchup today and tomorrow. Have just found out that I'm not i work til 4pm today and I've been thinking it's 12noon all week, so gained four hours there:j. Chances of me using them productively.....hmmmm, we'll see.

ETA I'm in for that Valli!

I'm seriously thinking of asking Toots to put me on Lurker status. I don't want to get chucked off the Flylady list, because I do find that following it keeps me focussed, and stops me going mad on "good" days then spending 2 or 3 weeks flat on my back.

But I'm increasingly aware that I don't have enough to offer the rest of you lovely people, and I'm a drain on everyone's energy.:( I'm sorry, I never intended to be a nuisance.:(

Oh gods, sorry, BD has me by the neck tonight.:(

Here's a bigger stick... I've replenished the basket just by the back door, so it isn't in anyone's way.

and if that doesn't work straight away, ridicule your black dog. Taunt him (or her)
