    Where ARE my manners *slaps wrist* many thanks to Team Flylady...

    I have a text...
    it appears I landed in Valliland rather quickly (and sooner than expected) after escaping from 'up there' lol
    that would be due to not-very-busy roads because there seemed to be some sporting event catching lots of attention...and my accelerator
    (I had to stop listening as was getting wound up;))
    Not only am I more interesting than the footy I am more exciting than it apparently...:rotfl:

    And I now know the difference between League and Union (I think) 15/13 or something...

    kazw - I love Muse :D I'm going to see them in September

    So has DS1 - in Manchester, I think. He still hasn't quite forgiven me for missing a double gig in London ages ago - Muse and My Chem. We'd have had to stay overnight and I just couldn't afford it at the time. I booked these tickets last September as a treat for doing well in the exams. Would have sold them on if he hadn't tried, though.

    I've had a very busy week at work and my form reports are now finished, at least. I still don't know how I'm going to get everything done in the next four weeks, though. Cue mad panic!
    This weekend was busy, too, so I'm just about to [STRIKE]water the plants and then collect the most urgent laundry for tomorrow[/STRIKE]. I know it needs doing, but I'm really struggling to get my backside into gear. I'm struggling with toothache and it's just easing after yet another painkiller, so I'll have a little rest first. ETA: Did the chores first. :D

    I'm going to be around this week in a fashion, but won't be fretting over lists. Getting the dailies done, doing homework with DS2 and working are most important at the moment. Thanks to everyone for the thread - I've missed keeping up with it this weekend.

    Valli - glad you had a good time. We like that particular outlet, too, as it's much nicer to walk around outside. I've not been to Ponte Carlo in ages, though. I hope you got your message eventually and more outings will be planned. ;)
    Carlsbergal - congratulations to you and DD2.

    Not looking forward to tomorrow. Apart from it being Monday, I'm expecting lots of stick from the kids about the football.

    Have a good week, everyone.

    many thanks to all at Flylady central command.

    Much running around this week - will have to fit flying in round all the other parp!

    We were disadvantaged by an awful decision in the football - but we were not robbed! I have seen my son's under 15 team defend better than England did today! A week ago I suggested that the Flyladies run the team.....after today I am inclined to say that we should play - we couldn't do any worse! It shows how bad we were when our goalie conceded 4 goals AND WAS OUR BEST PLAYER!!!!

    Valli - glad you had a good time!
