    Debt-free and Proud!
    Flyladies are fab,

    Lamewolf - so sorry for your anxiety but the responses to your concerns warmed the cockles of my heart, if there isn't a flylady to sympathise with a problem there are plenty who can empathise and en/discourage or give a virtual hug or a kick, whatevers needed, aren't you all great.

    I've been busy, but off task and so won't update my lists but it has involved much wrangling with very large sofa covers and the WM, a bit of Jinky-itis (:p) and I'm loving the Short-Bird post, it captures perfectly how I feel... and I also loved LE3s question and The Dragon's response.

    Oh and hello Natty, nice to see you

    Dinner now on and DD has most of her homework done. Dw on now and then there'll be a second load to go in.

    Woke this morning with a sore neck and now it seems to be worse, i think a hot bath should ease it abit.

    Blind man to be here at 8.30 tomorrow morning so i need the livingroom, hall and bedroom cleared. Then i'll go for the food shop, supplies are running low.

    Toots i wouldn't go that far. :rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    LW know exactly how you feel. Can you find a furry friend to take with you. At the moment it's the only way I normally get out of the house. But feel good about the fact you are passing on useful information.
