Hello Angel!! I have missed you the mostest!

Im ok - rather wet here in Wales though and certainly could do with some sunshine as its absolutely freezing!!!!!!!!!!!! And its only gonna get colder!

LO was poorly last night and puked all over his bed, all over the bathroom - but then this morning he woke up right as rain and full of beans!! Whatever it was its gone..... thankfully.

On a brighter note, we are forecast for more snow this weekend... **roll eyes smilie**

Anyway - Im off to update my listy then head to bed

Love n hugs

Jo xx

Newbies - please be aware that some of us have been here a long time so we are quick, do the lists weekly and our houses rarely descend into the chaos they were once in and which brought us here. Many of us have also decluttered which helps - I am in awe, personally, of the stuff Sockdrawer has decluttered.

Thank you Valli, just what I needed to hear

After putting the tree away I washed the windows :eek: then relocated the toy box to the bay.

Landing reclamation has started and Miss A's bedroom has had ebay treasures relocated to reclaimed landing!!

It is all very much a WIP.

MissHiggerty

Tell you the truth, Pigpen, I think the mule bomb tidied things up a bit around here....

[By god, woman, that's a gorgeous Geek!!!! ]

Jojo, I will be with you after school today, glowering at my DD. She was given a carrier bag the other day to empty her bi.....it is still on the bedroom floor, her washing is still on the floor and and I put her Christmas and Birthday pressies in a large Christmas bag and put it in her room......she moved it to the landing where it still is.....full!!!! If they are not sorted today and rehomed properly, thay are going in the bin....simples!!!

Maybe you should just tell her that if she doesn't appreciate her presents you'll give them to someone who does, so you're taking them to the charity shop. Used to work on me as a child

I have edited and printed off four paragraphs from my flylady smurf (basically so I don't say ewww to the LSB) and expect to talk tonight or tomorrow when I will give him the big E.

And I'm rather looking forward to having my weekends back to myself!

I have seen OH and it's back on... apparently it was never actually off - he thought I was going to dump him. He does admit that his behaviour hasn't exactly been great recently and is going to make more of an effort. As advised by a number of flyladies, we're taking it slowly (so I didn't stay over, and he's just about forgiven me for it now - I phoned when I got home), and I've told him that he needs to make an effort to see me rather than me telling him what we're doing, so that aspect of whether things work out or not is down to him. I did weigh up the pros and cons, and although I know its going to be tough (he didn't like being told that it takes about 2 years to get through the fallout of the split - and that's if he gets on and deals with stuff), I think its worth the gamble. Mind you, I am faintly envious of valli getting her weekends back but as its only 50% of the weekends for me, I guess I'll cope!

Have done lots of dot-to-dotting today, so things are slowly getting tidier. I also stuck to my diet (till we went out this evening) and went to the gym and did my 10000 steps, so exercise is going OK. Tomorrow I need to go to the farm shop and post office, wash the kitchen floor, sort out food for the evening and do some paid work too! So I'll probably be finishing up the flying at the weekend.

Off to bed now... see you all tomorrow

He isn't wanting to have cake and eat it is he? Sounds like a bit of back pedalling to me.. spent time with ex realised why we left, maybe started to miss what we didn't have..
