happierdaystocome

Cycling hugs for you and your kids. Hope your OH tries to make it up to you and the children.

NIxie I saw this on the hairy bikes programme the other week and it looked lovely http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/plum_summer_pudding_33918
and thank you for the healing vibes

Shysarah Sounds like going back to work is going positively, well done you.

TooChoosey couldnt see the second link but the first desk is lovely.

Hollydays take it easy and dont over use your hand as this could set the healing process back, deligate, deligate deligate.

Morning all

Bathroom/toilet done this morning. I seem to be a day ahead of myself this week. My washing has just been rained on but it was almost dry. I've draped it round for a bit until I decide if it's going to rain again.

Catching up now.

Okies...

The place is looking a lot better now much more 'flylady'.

All I have left to do is a really good hoover through and a fridge based sort out. Oh and put all the candles etc back on the mantlepiece after chimney sweep has done.

Now it is time for some crochet and rest and yes..

Oh I even tidied up the mess that is my desk and filed my paperwork.. and then my flaming file cracked down the side so guess thats a sign it is too full. Will add it to my 'list' later.

Bye for now xx

Hi everyone; lunch break, so doing a swift catch-up with Fred.:o

Dancemum Don't apologise for offloading; you must be worried sick about your Mum; and the business with the car would have me spitting neutrinos! (((HUG)))

Cyclingyorkie aww, I hope your birthday wasn't completely spoiled.

Shysarah listen, missis, no telling yourself off, more like pat yourself on the back for doing as well as you are after 10 months away from the workplace. If you find yourself getting wound up, perhaps think “what would I tell my best friend if it was her getting upset?” Then tell yourself the same thing, iyswim.:o I think you're doing grand. Oh, and “low bill” vibes, as requested.

Happierdays. Oh, poor old Dogbot.... when does he get rid of his “lampshade”?

Nixie the only problem with taking a riding crop to recalcitrant OHs is that some of 'em would likely enjoy it!:eek::rotfl:

Thanks, people, I'm less upset today; I lit a wee candle for Honey last night.

We had Mr LW's pal "A" round yesterday evening - I showed him the movie I made of Dilly Doglet giving her toy ram what for, and he thought it was really funny.

*Goes away to shove it on Photobucket so that the Flyladies can see it if they wish*

The grey material in the foreground is my skirt - I was sitting on the floor with her.:D

Anyways, I must go and get on; Mr LW is working from home tomorrow, so I shan't get anything done in the way of flying. Is it the bathroom tomorrow? I may try and get the porcelain scrubbed today, to get ahead of myself.;)
