    Hi all; I'm in agan this week. Many thanks to Flylady Central Command, we have a Wolf's Lair not a Pig Sty!;)
    Piggers OMG:eek: You sure live in “interesting times”, don't you? I honestly do not know how you cope. I just have to say you must be one very strong lady, and you have my total admiration for getting through all the carp that life sees fit to chuck at you. I just wish there was something I could say or do to help you at this time, but disabled and stuck in MK, I'm afraid I'm not a great deal of use. Will send strength and healing vibes though – I can do that at least.:o

    Hoping that all is going better for Toots. I believe she's had an operation? Soappie please let her know that Wolfy healing vibes are being sent.:o

    Welcome to new Flyers and returnees.:wave:
    Arrrrggghh Cosmomo I'd absolutely freak if I found a slug indoors.:eek: I cannot abide molluscs, sort of the same aversion Toots has to certain naked-tailed rodents iyswim.

    Craftyscholar LOL @ “it might come in handy itis”. Mr LW has that, too. I'm more “If in doubt, turf it out”.;)

    Uurrgghh, I did an hour's gardening yesterday (Mr LW came out with me, so we were able to tackle the front weed-beds) and my back's complaining bitterly today. Will try to ignore it for as long as possible, as I don't like to keep taking Oramorph.:(

    Anyways – better get on; I need to cook some spuds and Quorn sausages, as it's sausage salad for dins tonight.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I was in bed most of the day yesterday, Farmer Giles go the better of me and I was awake watching tv since 2.30am, they knock me for six when they pop out, took painkillers as soon as I got up this morning and put cream on after my shower. (Sorry if TMI)

    I very nearly choked to death on the melon I was eating when I read that. I know it's not funny really, but what you wrote there was soooooo entertaining. :D:rotfl::rotfl:

    In fact, that has to rate alongside Valli and the bike lock saga! :D
    Do you remember that Valli? Must be a couple of years ago now?
