Hello all :wave:
I'm in again this week. Had a good flying day today, thanks to the rain keeping me inside (just as I'd pegged all the washing out :mad:). DH did half the list I had made for myself without me asking him to :T looks like I may be onto a strategy now :cool:. So all my list for today has been done (apart from planting - which was contingent on weather anyway).
Thanks as ever to flylady central, and welcome back Toots - hope you had a lovely time, also thinking of you boddy, sounds like a tough time for your DD and for you to see her dealing with it, kazmeister, whether your ring's covered will depend on your policy whether you can claim, but as pigpen says check the value first/weigh up against excess/losing NCB. Hugs to anyone else who needs them and hope everyone has a good week. Night all, I'm off to bed to face my first 5 day week at work since April!0
