    Hello,

    I am a bit late joining in today as I have had a lazy start to the day.
    DH started work again today, first work since snow in November!

    cyclingyorkie Sorry you had a wasted and expensive trip to the hospital. But good that you had lunch out with DD.

    kazwookie Hugs and get well prayers for you.



    Shysarah I wish I could blow away that black dog of yours. I am feeling more positive today, don't know why.

    I took lots of advice on here last week and went back to all the banks I could think of on Friday re. loan and now have a bank looking at the possibility at much reduced rates of the trust who turned us down. So a huge thank you to those who encouraged me not to give up.

    I have a docs appt tomorrow too and could do with some prayers, good vibes etc. Hoping it is nothing.

    mrs_B it wasn't me who suggested setting the alarm clock half an hour earlier, although I think it's a fab idea!! There are 2 of us on here who are taking things one step at a time - me (onestep) & 1 step closer. Two different fledging flyladies :D

    Flying wise, I've done to level 3 on the list, am gobsmacked ;) and planted some pots up with last minute daffodil bargain bulbs. Also weeded a new bed, near the greenhouse. I want a shrub to go in the middle of it, haven't decided what yet. Suggestions anyone? Can be up to 1m high & wide.

    Off to collect DD from the bus.. Flying in the snug this evening.

    Hugs, spoons, & BIG sticks for any BDs

      and some exercise... especially as DH has decided we're over due to go out on a Date :o <- shy smile. so I'll be eating badly.
      Or do I not do exercise and blast two lots tomorrow??? Because then I'll be working it off? Cant go too mad with it at the moment. Ahh maybe he'll like a night time walk for 30 mins? Could I convince him it would be romantic??

      I'm one of those crafters going under the acronym SABLE
      "stash above & beyond life expectancy" :o

      Hence the mega declutter which is designed to dispose of the higher fruit - the stuff you need ladders for or a bit of determination because it's got emotional baggage - as well as the low hanging fruit which has laregly been picked. So I did 2 hours of ironing yesterday and today.

      Off to make tea. As they said in Winnie the Pooh:

      Poohbear - Good vibes and flylady support for your Dr's appointment tomorrow.

      Shysarah - my cat would love to have a play with that lot!

      Kazwookie - hope you feel better

      It appears I was only ranting about my lazy family a couple of threads ago. Sadly for the older boys nothing has changed. 5 loads of washing picked up from the floor of their bedrooms. There are enough cups, glasses, plates and cutlery up there for a full dishwasher load. I have filled 2 carrier bags with crisp, sweet, biscuit, chocolate wrappers and another bag with empty drink bottles. I am :mad:
