Toots I'm glad you had a good time. The swelling has gone down a lot on my leg thanks. Still very itchy but I don't feel yucky anymore thankyou

I've made progress upstairs today and DS2's room is now all clean. DS3's has been hoovered, window done and bed changed so just paintwork and dusting left for tomorrow.

You can't, especially as a relative newbie, so don;t even try No-one will judge you if you don;t keep up with the chat - just join in when you can :T

WELL DONE!!

After all my recent scans .... I have made the decision not to have any more "active" treatment ...... so I am going to make the most of every day .... if it's a good one I will do what I can & make the most of it, if it's a bad one it will pass ...... so I may [STRIKE]jump[/STRIKE] Ok .... hobble back onto the fly-wagon occasionally

You expecting company? I'm sure some Flyladies could pop round if you're lonely

was a wise teacher who suggested that, since our July sports days have been washed out big style for a few years and we have had major problems, including complete cancellation one year, so sad for the Y6 kids, that we have Sprorts day EARLY

now *rubs chin* I wonder who it WAS

:think: I know - it was you, oh wise one :dance:

LameWolf - thats great news about another lodger - what kind this time?

This latest one is a Cavalier King Charles. I'm going to have an interesting time on 8th August; Molly (Labrador) goes home in the morning, and Penny (aforementioned Cavvie) arrives in the afternoon.:j:j:j:j:j:j

We've decluttered the 2nd half of the moussaka/gratin hybrid that I made yesterday, and also the last of the HM lime ice cream; Mr LW has decluttered some calories on the Wii Fit, and has now decided he wants a game of Mah Jong.

I may see if I can persuade him pub-wards in a little while......;)

Lady L, you, my friend, are an inspirational woman, I am very much in awe of your capacity to deal with all the shoite that has been thrown at you and bat it back ferociously...on your terms...give Glastonbury a go and leave your mark as I'm sure you will.;):D

Have some of my spoons, you're very welcome, I'd honestly share if I could, in fact you'd be spooned out!!! Actually that sounds a bit rude...:eek:


Nil rain at Glastonbury vibes hun and enjoy every single minute of it, I wish you clean toilets, fair weather and good views of your favourite bands. xxxxxx
