    Dailies done and I'm chewing my frog - too big to eat in one day.

    Just doing a few bits on here, curtains are washed and drying on the line and then either gardening or hoovering - ooh tough decision!

    Serena now seen you about, hope you are ok

    I'm guessing the hoovering will have to wait ;)

    Fourth frog dealt with :T going to find some lunch, prepare food for the next couple of days (I'm busy in the evenings, so need something that the children can finish for themselves once they're home from school/college) and then I'll join Dusty outside :j:j:j

    I'm being a real numpty here but what is it with all the frogs? I don't keep up to date with the thread so if someone can tell me where it was all mentioned I might have a clue as to what's going on!!!!!

    Decluttered just over 2.5 hrs typing and DW unloaded and have let the chooks out too. That's it so far so better get my bum in gear hadn't I.

    This will explain all., Mumof2. I can't remember which of the Flyladies first posted it, but it seems to have kind of taken off!:D

    How are you feeling today, btw?:o

    Thanks Wolfie, I'll check that link out later. I'm feeling better than I was last week thank you. I decluttered a LOT of tears at the weekend, had a really good talk with DH - he's so supportive - and told him about what had happened to me before I met him (going to visit therapist on Wednesday and will have to tell her all about it but basically I was assaulted) and went to lovely Church service last night. I cried in Church too :o, such a woos aren't I! The end result is I'm feeling a lot calmer now.

    How are you my love - doing OK? You sound very upbeat and positive which is fab :).

    Had my lunch (Nutella on toast :o) now need to get going.

    Anyone fancy a HHC at 1.30?
