    morning all, its drizzly here
    psso flylady would have her work cut out with me as well thats why i just read not post, ive spent 2 days 'doing' the lounge and in all honesty it dosnt look any better. the ironing pile is windowsill height, the table is cluttered and ive a box of cook books that should be in the kitchen but they got moved out over christmas to give me worksurface space (thats been taken up by other stuff now) we look over crowded anyway with all the dvd racks photos and general stuff so i suppose general untidiness on top of that makes it seem terrible. i dont want a show house mine is a home but my goal is to have everything in its place and it just doesnt all seem to have one. Does that make sense.
    F1 sending you hugs on your brave start as has been said the first step is the biggest one and trust me you are not alone, we will support you all you want just feel free to vent whenever you need to.

    hugs to all

  • F1 great that youre taking the bull by the horns re money! That's how I found MSE and you're not alone - I still have about 18000 to pay off and with the surgery suspect it will be on ongoing battle! Definatelygood to contact one of the debt agencies if you havent already...:) big hugs and can guarantee the by dealing with it, instead of burying head in the sand, you will feel 100% better as youre taking control :)
    Ive a day off today to babysit Shiomi after her op; weve had to separate the two cats as they are still playing and Im worried about the stitches! Shiomi has a collar on and is looking very sweet!

    You keep mentioning that EYEword F1 and I will come and dump my mountain on you!

    Sorry I have been missing again...............this time I had a really good reason HONEST INJUN...................

    For one reason or another the link back from Mioliere to the spreadsheets for all of our work over the last 3 years has got kaput on us, try as we might it is proving a bit of a mare! (you know the one - click on her name in the side panel then click on Visit her home page)

    So we now have a couple of solutions we are working on - you can click on ROAMIN (in that l/h side panel- then TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER)- - no whistles or bells no big backgrounds, no music - nowt really just the spreadsheets from 2009 - to date. I must have had a brain wave the day I set it up way back when - and it was primarily for me to trial things before sending them on to others. I have been in and cleared out all the junk (boy there was tons) - Kathy is working on an update to her Yarns from a barn in France, because it really looks like the other sites have wandered off into the ethernet - never to be seen again.

    Now if anyone is actually online at this very minute could you please go and check that my link works - and let me know........Kathy will be along shortly with her new information too

    Great train journey to Bideford and was met by the very gorgeous William who has grown so much already. He is now having a little nap so I am trying to catch up with my life here.there and everywhere. Tomorrow I am going to take the luxury of catching up with all you lovely people here. About time too --- Apologies for a serious bout of neglect!!!!

    I will give William a cuddle from you all !

    Here is the house this morning as I left -- Joists now off and nearly the most extreme point of the project!!!!
