    Decluttered 1 ball of wool into a cardy for baby and a second ball into the cardy for the lady on he parents forum.. just another 97 more to do before the new balls I just bought arrive *shame* not to mention the 3 pattern books and 7 patterns. I am doing 2 more for Freja then I am knitting blankets for the girls prams for christmas... I have some bright red chunky and bright pink chunky wool to use up. I just bought some and the colour is 'christmas'.. white with red and green bits :D So that will be a sweater for Tiddles come christmas.. and I got pink and white for Moomin and Squeak.. dark red for OH which is going to his mums.. I'll get it back to do the neckband eventually.

    Hi All,

    Hugs, spoons and sticks as required.

    Been a manic week, I am trying to give up smoking :o,
    but with the hot flushes it's not easy. So if I am a little weird on some posts I opologise in advance, (what do you mean I've always been weird) :D

    Lunch was fab, SC lamb with roast pots, yorkies and 4 veg, DS2 turned up from his Uni, ( I'm sure he can smell a roast potato from 20 miles). Decluttered him back to Med school at 6pm.

    Thanks to FCC for having me again, even if I am a bad flylady.

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Can't sleep, DP snoring and sleep talking loudly doesn't help one teensy bit!

    Triker we can't insist our Children have taste lol at least she's away when she is wearing it. I hate clothes shopping too hence my online buying but I have to take DP this week as his things haven't arrived yet and he won't go alone, feel wheezy thinking about it!

    Dippypud me too, good luck, doesn't help when my kids keep saying I was nicer when I had more cigarettes but I think part of this weeks moods is the extra stress


    Toots pleased you've done as you are told

    I did wonder how FCC translated in Ye Mule Flingers, job descriptions gone up in the world since I had the golden mules lol

    Right, off to pinch DPs nose, if that doesn't work a flick in the nuts might *#%} men!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    So I am not the only one who can't sleep then?? At this rate it'll be time to get up before I go to sleep

    Thought I'd make a list for tomorrow
    sort glass cupboard
    tidy sideboard drawers
    clear top of printer
    scan pictures for Cheryl
    find/chose/buy a new computer desk
    make a shopping list
    go shopping
    start to sort photos for work
    tidy up external HD

    right that will do I think, now off back to bed hopefully to sleep (what's the betting I manage to wake up OH in the process??)
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

  • Sitting with a cuppa before I wake my little ones. School run (ergh 'tis windy) and then it's all systems go!
  • Good morning everyone :beer: I'm cycling to work today, and it's blowing a hoolie :eek: Upside is that it will help blow away the cobwebs, and I'll feel better after it :D

    I was awake about 2-ish too :o DD has been making a papier mache head (over a balloon) and we left it drying on the Rayburn. I dreamt that the balloon had expanded so much it had burst :eek: Luckily it's fine :) She'll be creating a head later in the week.
