    Evening lovely ladies

    Just popping into to say thank you to the lovely piggers and all those supporting the thread.

    Am afraid I only find the time to lurk these days (and mostly on FB :o) but I regularly print out the lists with the intention of doing something, how much actually gets done is another matter :rotfl:.

    Loads to do over the next couple of days, paid work tomorrow then off tuesday as sorting out the carrievan to take to France on Wednesday :eek:. I said I'd never do last minute packing again unyet here I am!

    Anyway love and hugs to you all, I do miss not having the time to keep up with you.

    Take care

    Kaz x

    Thanks to the flylady crew, i'm in again this week. Going to try and do basics and my leg is still aching and the crutches are doing my head in.

    How was everyone's weekend? We went off to castleton and lealholme for the day and had a picnic. The found a "large stick" while paddling, turned out to be a tree ;), honestly only my boys could do it.It was gorgous and so warm so had quite a late night in the end.
    I'm well argentina got spanked :D, so me thinks Germany will win the world cup, shame about ghana though. REally wanted them to go through:(.

    Piggers: -wow what a stunner your DD is, she looks amazing! Quick question how does your tribe stay so clean? If that were my two the white socks would have black in seconds.

    If its not there its done,

    Count me in again for this. Probably won't be able to keep up with the work or the chat but will do my best. I find when I do flylady it helps with the decluttering challenge. Will attack the kitchen later.

    Would like to get the house in a fit enough state for a cleaner to come around.... how daft but true does that sound!
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    Morning campers, I'm up bright and early and all bushy tailed :) Not sure what happened though as I didn't settle down to sleep until 1am and I was up and about at 5.45am when DDog Jet bounced on me to see if I was awake..ugh!!

    I've despatched DH off to work, he looked all hot and bothered and it was only 6.10am, bless him. Don't think he's happy as they now have to wear ties with their suits - they've not worn them for the past three years and only wear them if they have to see a client or are out for the day.Laie_63B.gif But apparently people have been abusing the goodness of the management and now the rest of the building is suffering. They've also lost "casual" Friday due to some younger ones totally abusing the leniency of the management with what sort of clothing consitutes "casual". A lot of the bosses on D's section, including him, are not happy now. You would think that bank employees would know what to wear, but nope.. I think the youngsters think that because they aren't in a branch they can get away with anything, but unfortunately it doesn't go like that. Management apparently have turned a blind eye for the past few months but as it has got hotter the clothing has got more and more ridiculous.. Poor D and the other bosses are praying that the air con doesn't blow up with the extra work now..lol

    Well I've fed the birds nice and early, and a rather bedraggled Mr Asbo robin appeared lording it over the sparrows. I think he is parenting as he doesn't look after himself when he has chicks, you can always tell. Spike our old blackbird used to look all bedraggled when he was parenting too.. Funnily enough we hadn't seen Spike for a good year or more and this year he has appeared again.. We can tell him apart from the other blackbirds as he has a white feather on his wing :) Mrs Blackbird is stalking up and down the cabbage patch, not sure what she is after but she looks rather pleased with herself :rotfl: Woody woodpigeon has taken root on the bird feeder, and has stayed there for the past half an hour just sitting there all puffed up. He occasionally has a feed then puffs himself up again and just sits there surveying the garden. It is putting the poor sparrows off though as he pecks them if they get near the feeder. Thankfully it is also putting the starlings off too..they are greedy little birds given half the chance. Oooh Woody has turned around and now has back to me, think he knows I am talking about him..lol

    What am I going to do in the winter when the birds stop their antics, it is going to be quite boring, although I am hoping that they still come and feed. I know that Woody and Mrs Woody will still be feeding with us, as will Mr and Mrs Dove - they don't leave the area they feed from, after pairing for life. Yet saying that Mr Woody has two wives by the looks of it, I don't think he can decide which one he wants..:rotfl:

    I am hoping that it is going to be cooler today as I have a fair bit to do and I don't want to do it tomorrow as I have a psychological assessment tomorrow afternoon at the local hospital. Dreading this appointment as I have been waiting for over a year for this but I know I need to go as I really need to get the long term therapy started.

    Happy Belated Birthday xx_Jo_xx bday1.gif

    Hugs Toots, I hope you are taking it easy today - oooh don't forget that text with the number on.. :)
    LL snugglehuggles sweetie, hope you are feeling okay. It would be great to see you on here every now and again, even if it's just to say BOO!!
