TNG i forgot that i have to whisper such things in your presence

nicki still nice! and as you mentioned: less work too :T

Denise you are so flying - well done you!!


ok ok i won't mention anything 'date night' related

BUT to get there we (together!) cleaned the kitchen, playroom, and OH even helped folding the washing :shocked:

seems to be the right incentive

see you all tomorrow

Yoo hooo (waving from under a pile of clutter and paperwork)
With all the chaos of Christmas (ok, sitting on my franny watching tv and eating chocs) the house has turned into a recycling warehouse.
Is there going to be a fresh Flylady challenge to get us all into shape to welcome in the new year? Is the plan to start afresh in the new year? Or is it 'jump right in;' at the end of this thread? (Please don't say I've got to read all 700+ posts or I'll never leave the desk - and trust me I don't need any help in finding an excuse to procrastinate!)
Hope someone can point me in the right direction

Hello, all!

Punky Well done, hun. Take care of yourself.

TNG, special smiley for you

Nikki, that house is lovely!

Pigpen, belated Happy Birthday!

Kaz, hello! We'll come and give you a kick if you need one BTW, my llechwen went down veryb well with the Welsh nieces. It's amazing how many Welsh cakes and drop scones 4 hungry children can eat :eek: :eek: They want one now.

Flylady hasn't stopped with daily missions. We even had one for Christmas day :eek: I'll be back posting them (if that's what people would like) from Tuesday or Wednesday.

Happy New Year to you all!

We're off to DH's parents tomorrow. It's Mr Penguin's birthday on Monday, so we're leaving the children and going out for the day.

See youa ll when I'm back, Penny. x

Been thundered and lightning out today (biggest clap I think I've ever heard in my life this morning!:eek: )
So firstly Punky - Wow:j :T :j - I actually think I feel a tad jealous (no more for me I'm afraid risking all for babies was fine until I had some to consider, but still truth be told I'ld give all for another one/two just can't risk not being around for the two angels?!? I have) So for now on be a good girl and get plenty of rest and eveything else and I can't wait to see the photo of new Punky junior. And you get to join the boots parenting club and get your No 7 voucher!!!:D

Been spending the day quietly drawing up a new masterplan to help get this place even tidier next year. Can't quite believe how much I've achieved this year to be honest - considering in the past year our house has been more or less ripped to bits and yet I'm still here thinking that there will be no mass panic to get the place tidy for new year is unbelievable. There are times I think flylady lives in a bedsit and her porch is actually a communal hall but I guess the truth is that it takes time to get it all together and make it work! So a special thank you to all in the half term challenge because you really helped get me motivated and back on track.:T

So if we get the bad weather predicted and I don't get back on here - HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :beer: :beer: :beer:
And after that I'll be back here signing on for duty!:D Seems fate somehow 1st Jan being a Monday - Start of a new week and a new month - bring it on Flylady!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
