Yes I will join you, must stop playing silly FB games and actually do something today! *rushes of to catch up*0 -
Heelloooooooooo!!!!!!!
Friday already.......
Didnt manage much flying after Monday as I was so busy, dog no 2 was ill and then shattered last night so did..........nothing!
I saw something interesting on the tv last night - labour saving devices dont save us much time as we actually end up doing more and dont know when to actually stop! Food for thought, specially about the guilt complex.
I am going to make my own list for the weekend, print it off and put it on the fridge. Hopefully this will encourage hubby to do stuff rather me give him a list.
Will post list in a bit.
1 step closerIf you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T

Realised that I've managed to do a few things this week. Shame DH has just phoned to say he's spend an hour washing crockery and pots that were dumped in the kitchen sink:o But he did thank me for taking down the sides of DDs cot/bedDFW Nerd Club #545 Dealing With Our Debtnever attribute anything to malice which can be adequately explained by stupidity, [paranoia or ignorance] - ZTD&[cat]
