    Thank you for letting us know :A And also thank you for putting the capitals in - I'll now be able to remember Ms Gnomey, rather than thinking it was a mis-spelling of MSG Money ;)

    Great minds think alike ;) Thanks Mags_cat and speedy recovery vibes for MsGnomey.

    My very best wishes to MsGnomey for a speedy recovery

    Stcky baby vibes being sent for Sally.
    (My SIL may need some of these later this month - the first attempt didn't go according to plan...)

    It's the weekend!!:j

    This morning I did the kitchen, cloakroom, and living room - all the downstairs! Plan is to do the remaining bts of upstairs tomorrow - I have already done the main bedroom, and DD and her BF have started to clear out her room. We now have a large number of bags for charity, to fling and to recycle.

    Her BF is so good at decluttering, I'm seriously considering paying him to do the rest of the house. It was very funny listening to him asking her if she could actually remember the last time she wore (any item), and if she really needed to keep it! I've tried that, but it doesn't have the same effect from Mum as it does from BF!

    This afternoon DD and I went into town. My favourite wool/fabric shop had a 20% off promotion today and tomorrow, but I was in an indecisive mood, and left with nothing.I did find one jumper pattern I liked, but it would be over £50 for the wool - and I don't really want to spend that much.

    I'm hoping the forecast is right for tomorrow - I really need some gardening in the sunshine.

    :hello:Hi to all my flylady friends!!

    Love and hugs, especially for toots, lady-liberty, diva, and all those who could make very good use of them today.

    Flying isn't really happening here as I have a horrible cold and feel as though I have no spoons left. Just keeping up with a little s and s. bathrooms and kitchens are clean :)

    MsGnomey hope you are well soon. And I hope Sally's babies are well and truly stuck in place.

    Hello ladies :wave:

    Just to let you know that my best mate MsGnomey is through her operation.

    Her DD is going up to see her later tonight so I've told her to pass on your best wishes - I'm sure she'll be delighted to know how much you were all thinking about her.

    ::slopes out of thread, looking somewhat guilty at the dustbunnies on her floor:: :rotfl:
    Thanks for letting us know - and please feel free to join us.
    We are a very nice bunch.

    It's lovely but you're really buying the name here I think, I'm sure you could get it cheaper from the Le Creuset Outlet at Castleford.:D
