    I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but I'd like to thank each and every Flylady who's posted messages of support, and those who have thought of the Flyladies who are having a difficult time just now. You are all wonderful :A

    This thread not only keeps my house clean and tidy, but the warmth from virtual friends is second to none, and has really helped me to get through today. I am no longer feeling murderous :p


    Too right

    The kind words from all you helped me when I felt low and low and down and now feel happier and the time has passed to a happier place

    Can't put it better myself

    DS's MAHOOOSIVE england match-watch fest has shrunk..to about four persons...and there's only one here and its a girl!
    *phew*
    less mess to clear up in the morning

    AND when I got back from my (cunningly booked course in a school so near here I could walk to it and I did) it had brightened up so I flung the washing out, it's now sunny and blowy and the bedding is drying beautifully.

    Bed made inc clean duvet cover and matching pillowcases
    carpet brushed
    I'm going for a HHC in the bedroom now...

    DD incredulous that someone I have met didn't run off...cheeky mare

    The ignore button keeps you ignorant

    You're lucky to have 5 :( Mind you, I maybe have 168 unripe ones :D

    Can you see how the ripening is moving to The North :j

    Decluttered my pint of O-, and DD gave her first pint :T I am so pround :A

    You'll still be enjoying yours when ours are long gone:p

    Well done to your DD. DH was due to donate for the first yesterday but couldn't as he has been to the USA in the past month.

    Did your DD find out her blood group? I've been following the BGD for a month or so and am very interested in what people are. The kids want to know their type so I might get a test and do them.

    All 4 bedrooms have been deep cleaned this week:j Furiture all pulled out, paintwork all wiped down, very pleased with myself.

    Downstairs has not been touched all week:eek: so that will be next week's task but I've got quite a lot of invigilating to do then so we will see.

    I need to quickly hoover the living room before the footie takes over.

    What a numpty I am - I'm O+ :o DH is rhesus neg, so DD is obviously keen to find her group (though if I have anything to do with it, the main concern about rhesus neg will be years off yet :eek: )

    We're about to declutter us all over the road, and have a few tinnies and watch the match :T

    Come on Ingerrrrrrland

    :hello:Hi to all my flylady friends!!

    I've been in school this morning, as we had a return visit from the French school we went to in March. My HoD spent hours contriving a programme which mant that they wouldn't have any chance at all of bumping into some of our more colourful students ;) and it went brilliantly.

    I spent an hour on the allotment this afternoon, and came home with a trug full of goodies, and am feeling very smug.I don't have quite as many strawberries as you dusty, but enough for dinner tonight!

    We're speed eating so we'll be ready for kick off...

    Love and hugs.
