    Just reading back through the names bit - when I worked at the hospital years ago I remember a little old lady coming in who's name was Ophelia Balls - think she should have kept her maiden name when she married!
    OK - now come clean my 'puter screen :rotfl:

    Hope you are feeling OK this morning triker

    Right - feeling slightly more awake now I have had a shot of caffeine.
    Dining table has started to disappear under a pile of 'pending' again - and some of it needs cheques writing :eek:

    Greetings flyladies :wave:

    I arrived back from my Norfolk joliday yesterday and I could see where the flylady influence had improved the house - and that was work done in just two weeks before I set off....I was actually looking forward to coming home so that I could carry on 'dotting' :)

    I've skimmed thru the thread - and thought of a few names for you to consider Pigpen...what about

    Girls: Sophia, Lucia, Isla, Tianna, Amara

    Boys: Toby, Archie, Finn, Lucas


    I'll be back later - just going to put another load in the WM.

    Best weishes to all xx

    Morning all

    Late start here, I really need to start going to bed earlier.

    Flying plan:
    Dailies
    HH in the kitchen which has become a magnet by the look of it
    HH dusting 2 kids rooms
    HHG
    HHP

    Hope to also get the sewing machine out and get the mending done.

    Ooops poor neighbours bunnies have had a lie in too, must get dressed and let them out.

    All dirty washing brought up, washing out on line. Livingroom starting to look normal again. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    I like the name Cordelia too from Shakespeare's King Lear - according to my name book it could be from the Latin for heart.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
