    hugs to fedupandskint!

    Yesterday took DD1 to her ME course. We wandered back through town dodging the showers (and the umbrellas ). DD1 was in her wheelchair and 3 or 4 people were really friendly......

    so why am I so cross?

    well in H&M I spotted 3 people DD1 went to school with - 2 of whom she'd been through primary school with...and they didn't even say hello to DD!

    And 24 hours on I'm so cross I could scream!

    sorry for ranting!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    afternoon everyone
    sorry i havent been around since thursday - just had a grotty tired day yesterday so was feeling unsociable!!!

    I see pigpen wasnt around either - hope all is well with you and freja and the rest of the inhabitants of pigpen-land. xx

    havent seen soappie either - hope you are ok

    holly huge (((hugs))) for you - I am glad DS has apologised but be firm for another day or too - you know it works - just tell him if he acts like a child then he will be treated like one!!! cant believe he took your router in retaliation!!!
    hex I think I have missed you - hope you have a brilliant holday and you all manage to relax - its been a stressful time recently. xx

    Neighbour been round with key, I'm feeding her kids cats for the weekend, been told by the 7 year not to loose the cats!!!
    :rotfl::rotfl:love it!!!
    Yay, I've completed my first Flylady week! I am intending to keep this up now, so Level 2 next week for me, I am hooked!!

    MrsB you have done well and the more you keep up the easier it will be - we are all hooked too!!!!:D
    valli glad to are having such a nice time - you deserve it - i think you will have to make an idiots' guide for use when you are not around:rotfl:
    boddy I love looking at the old deeds - great sources of social info - I am glad the blood results are clear - must have been a bit scary thinking there was a clot (((hugs)))
    prettypennies - not daft at all - its far better to be prepared than wait until the day and getting in a tizz! I see valli has already suggested contacting the bus company and I def think its a good idea to travle the route with them - you will know what its like and if the bus was ever to break down you would have an idea where to go if you needed to pick them up.
    clover gosh you have been doing well at your Mum's - what a lovely daughter (((hugs)))
    Dusty I hope the imp has gone honey - and that the outlaws are not toooooooooo much hassle - make life easy with the meal planning - you dont want to be stuck in the kitchen (((hugs))))
    Winchelsea (((hugs))) buy the bucket load but gentle ones - shingles are very nasty but often come as a result of being run down!!!!!! Have you been doing too much ??? you do as you are told now and be a good patient -I dont want to have to come and sort you out!!!!! take care and rest plenty.
    SarahS I have probably missed you too angel - hope you got away ok today - maybe you have lappy with you - have a great holiday and relax - love to you all and harry!!! xx
    jjef ooooooooooooouch awh honey that sounds so sore - poor you - well just you rest it as much as possible - that means no driving - no housework - total rest:rotfl::rotfl: hope OH gets his head sorted and realises what he has said and makes up for it :mad: make him suffer:rotfl::rotfl:
    Hellyboo (((hugs))) for you and LO - hope he is better now.
    AnW'sMum WTG Miss A and Nanan:T:T what a lovely thing to do - and I know she will try to keep it tidy.
    fedup whats up pet? is it nice weather with you - can you get away out and enjoy a nice walk to cheer you up?
    Max another cat lady - there are a lot of you!!!! dont try to do it all at once - its amazing what a difference just doing level 1 for a couple of weeks can do - the lists and the company make it easier to focus and get into a routine - well done on your first week. Try to get DH to help - even just little tasks and it will help a lot.
    missymouse welcome to the thread - I will send you a pm shortly - srat slowly and gently and work up to level 3 in 2/3 weeks stime - remember we have all been here for months and years so we can (when we want to:rotfl:) get round our homes much quicker so dont be put off!
