    I am feeling quite emotional at the mo. OHs visitor has been this evening to help him with some motorbike stuff. I met him for the first time (even though he has lived 4 houses away for 5 years!) and he said what a lovely woman I was. OH has just said he loves me and really appreciates all I do for him and wants to make sure I know. He said he feels really proud when people say those sorts of things. He also said how proud he is of the promotion I got last year and how hard I am working for the next one. It is really nice to feel loved and appreciated. Sorry for sharing it but it has made me really happy :D
    That's lovely, that is. *is a little bit green*
    What a sweetie :A Does he have a brother; I'm spoken for but I bet there are some Flyladies who'll be fighting for him if he does
    Great minds! *hedges bets*

    I will try. I have just noticed how DUSTY my keyboard is so I might shut down and take it out side for a good brushing. Incidentally I saw a HUGE air can in Wilko's for £3+ so that would seem to be the cheapest place to go.

    Gonna flash some stuff up on e bay I think.

    In July DD ordered a CD from tesc0 digital...it never came (although I can't find any evidence that I was charged for it) anyway, after numerous complaints (it kept showing on the account) I have a credit of £10 in my e wallet

    Morning peeps - or it might be just by the time I'm ready to start, didnt wake until 930 and I'm still in PJ's needing a shower :p

    So far this week I have done absolutely zilch :o but fear I have to do something today or become lost in dog hair, fluff, dust and clutter.

    I have a huge list of my own jobs to do which I cant remember where I've put it down and I have to make a start on this weeks flylist although the bedroom will be out as DH (currently being an rse about DS :mad:) has gone to bed after night shift. Think I might need to delegate some things to kids as well so better start them a list although DD is unlikely to do anything as she has been making pancakes and if she has eaten them all she wont be able to move!

    Right better go off to page 1 for a list and then shower

    Have a good day :D
