 I like this idea!!:rotfl:Penelope_Penguin wrote: »please don;t try to catch up - Man and Tue jobs will come around again next week 
 Um.... *rather tentatively, as I hate asking* please can I have a few Flylady hugs?
 I got no sleep last night at all, and as a result, fell asleep on the sofa after Mr LW left for work.... and had The Most Horrendous nightmare (although, is it technically a nightmare if its during the day?) Anyways, luckily for me, the chap bringing a parcel for Mr LW woke me up, but it's left me quite shaky and upset, and of course Mr LW isn't here to turn to for comfort.:(
 In turn, can I offer a Wolfy (((HUG))) to everyone not having the best time of it.:o
 Right, now that's decluttered, I'd better get back to the bathroom.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
