    evening everybody

    yet another lovely day here
    (((hugs))) sockdrawer - just noticed your location. I wonder who your nearest Flylady is :D

    G&B - did you hear about our mutual friend having a baby? :p
    SSL now listen young lady - dont you start organising people to be checking up on me:rotfl: and I forgot you worked in CAB - I might pick your brains soon.

    MrsChaos - hope things went ok today - enjoy the weekend:)
    katiecat hope you are feeling a lot better soon and the better weather hepls too (((hugs)))
    nixie thats good news:T
    Polly hope the oven trial went ok
    aj maybe you need to sit down in your tidy LR and really look at it and see whats not right - like you say could need more sorting/decluttering or re-arranging the furniture - go out into the hall and shut the LR door - open the LR door with your eyes closed then open your eyes - what is the first thing you see - is it something you like or dislike - something tidy or messy - work from there. Do you have to manouvre around furniture or is there a clear walkway in?
    Dusty you will push it to the back of your mind and thats an order:rotfl: (((hugs)))
    lameWolf sorry to hear about Cameron (((hugs))) at least you have lovely photos and memories
    Vanilla aw honey what a time you are having (((hugs))) and strength for you - I am surprised that given OH's history that the hospital etc let him away with that kind of decision - he doesnt seem totally capable of knowing what is best for him - and that people are only trying to help him.
    aj only one voting card for the locals - prayers for a peaceful and painfree passing for OH's dad if his time has come - (((hugs))) and strength for you all xx
    Aunty I have a whole cupboard for meds in the kitchen - all 3 shelves!!!:rotfl::eek:
    kazw as Minister of Transport I wouldnt expect anything else:p:D:rotfl:

    lots of you needng strenth to cope with life at the moment so sending it to you all

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Just thought I'd pop on and let you know how it went at the docs - I know some of you are as soft as me and worry about folk, even if you've never met em ;)
    Well in short ... the damn lumpy dissapeared today! Doc couldnt find it!
    Day before yesterday it was baked bean size.

    Glad its gone, but you know to head back if it turns up again.

    A question for the Scottish flyladies? We have registered for postal voting for the first time this year, I have just looked through the form so I know what I am doing. However we haven't got anything for the voting referendum only a form for the local election, has anyone received 2 polling cards or just the local one?

    I'm a Polling Clerk this year, so can tell you all about it! You should have 3 forms, one peach, one pink and one grey. One for your constituency MSP, one for your list MSP and one for the AV referendum. Your local council will have an Election Team, so give them an email or a phone.

    My thoughts are with you and the family xx

    Did I say you were closest lol? It might be crafty or G&B :p;) Give me a shout anytime. Do you have my home number? If not, I'll text you it.

    The interview went well this morning. However, I'm not going to find out until the middle of next week. And if I am successful, I'll start on the Monday!

    It has been a beautiful day here and the forecast is great for the next 3 days. I spend the afternoon in the garden and did some hacking away at dead bushes. But mostly I enjoyed the sunshine and read my book :D
