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.

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.

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.:j :j0 -
