    Boo boo boo hello

    See when I say I have a quiet week it goes all busy and stressy. From meetings to sorting out conference stuff and rescuing the turtles who decided it was way too cold in the pond it's kept me busy. House is suffering a bit but I have managed to fling loads of junk.

    Right, in today for what it's worth - kitchen first, then some packing I think to move clutter into a bag :o lol


    Happy birthday macpep
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Happy Birthday Macpep - I *think* I have wished you Happy Birthday on your Facebook, too!

    I have just had my annual phone call from my local councillor to invite me on the annual river clean, which long standing Flyladies will remember I've done before!
    ( I accidentally went waist deep one year *shiver* and drip dried...:rotfl:)

    BUT I was supposed to go to the LSB's and meet the parents tomorrow. I can do that anytime - I can only river clean (with support) once a year so I hope he'll be understanding...the river clean is SERIOUS flying and my annual *put a bit back into my local environment* thing. Oh and we get fish'n'chips for lunch, free:money:
    so to do

    Phone the plumbers
    book the restaurant
    ring A and accept the invitation to her party
    [STRIKE]Check price for airmail to Italy:T[/STRIKE]
    Invoice sent. Much amused as it was in Italian so I could only understand about a third of it! (Don't speak it but can follow some of it if I know the context;) I did write grazie though :rotfl:

    find stuff I plan to e bay with a bigger starting price than 99p :rotfl:
    Thanks Kaz

    CLEAN AND CLEAR THE DINING ROOM WHICH IS AN EPIC PIT/MIDDEN

    change beds
    clean living room
    clean kitchen
    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY

    DS1 now been sent home from school with a sore ear, good job i have an appointment today at docs anyway, so i'll bring him with me.

    WM on second load and so far i have another 8 to go before the basket and floor is cleared. :o

    Macpep Happy Birthday, hope you have a lovely day. :bdaycake:
    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.
