  • Well have taken DS1 to nursery and went to the shop on the way home but they didn't have any startdrops so that will have to wait until shopping this evening. Have hung out the washing and put another load on (it's seriously neverending in my house!), put the bins out and tidied the toys away from our 6.30am tower building session! Just having a coffee now and checking emails etc then will crack on with the kitchen whilst DS2 is sleeping. Dreading the cooker but it needs to be done, quite ashamed to admit this but since we moved into this house last November I've never actually cleaned the oven!! The hob and door fronts get done all the time but have never had the motivation to do the oven! Need to do it now tho, we're moving in a few weeks and the march out lady is very picky!!!

  • Helloooo :wave:

    I'm back now the school hols have finished. Hope you all had a good summer.

    Only had a quick skim this morning, I'll have a proper catch up later.

    Toots - I have the same probs with ebay. Never used to, until the last few weeks. I list about 2-3 things and then it kicks me out and asks me to sign in. Even after signing in again, it keeps taking me back to the sign-in page. Its a never ending circle. Grrrrrr!

    LW - A very happy anniversary to you and Mr LW :beer:

    Ooops, cant remember what else I was going to say :o

    Many thoughts as always to Lady L, Toots & Diva xx

    I did fly in the holidays (honest!) but the house needs a 'proper' clean :o. I'm off to do a much-needed HHC now..... Ooooh PenPen's already started *runs to catch up*
    I need direction to perfection...

    Piggers arghhhh on your behalf, so sorry your Mum won't, don't see why not, she's only round the corner, how about your sisters? Not really fair is it when you do birthdays and cakes and suchlike for them? Or am I being out of line here?

    Not out of line at all.. I wish they could see it tbH.. i do allsorts of hideous tasks and help them out constantly. I've bailed them out with money they never pay back and time.. sometimes to the point of neglecting my children and myself and whenever I need anything noone is willing to lend a hand..

    HI All,

    Where are my manners!!!?

    I would like to thank the fly ladies for the support i received at the end of last term.

    I was unsure whether to carry on with a course i had been taking where the amount of study i needed to put in had been a complete shock!
    (The "drop out rate" on the course at that point had been about 75% !!!)

    Many Flylady comments helped me to "think things through".

    I did take the exams, passed and have now registered for year 2.
    ( I understand that only 50% of those that took the exam passed. Just shows what a "burger" of a course it is!!!:eek:).

    ................well cant put the oven of any longer..................

    H xxx

    Well done you!!!!!

    We knew you could do it.. I hope this year is easier and less stressful for you!
