Sorry, I don't know where my manners were earlier; I posted my (finished!!) list and didn't say another word.:(
A bit upset (to put it mildly) because the ferry company's basically screwed up our holiday.:(:mad:
Still - WELCOME hatchling Flyers; we don't follow the American site here; WAAAY too scary for some of us (me for example).:D But watch out for spiders - I'm fairly certain that Piggers is using them as spies to report back on the state of our houses, as she always seems to know which rooms look most like the corporation tip!:D:D:D
In the Wolf's Lair tonight, Quorn fillets in white wine sauce and chips have been decluttered, followed by more of the crumble for pud; Mr LW is now on the WiiFit as I type.
Anyone got any ideas for how to declutter an unwanted autoimmune condition?:cool: Anybody? No?? Oh well, back to the drawing board, then.:rotfl:If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Evening all
Well I flaked out in bed by half 8 last night!!
Have dishes and washing to do and am pondering whether to go straight to bed asap after that or to start on Monday and Tuesday's lists? The sleep was great and well needed last night and I'm already tired and ready to nod off now but at the same time if I start on the lists I am a)starting to discipline myself and b)it might help boost my energy
Any advice ladies, (and gents)?

:hello:Hi ladies!! Extremely busy again, working far too late, after gardening all weekend. Could hardly move yesterday morning. At school Year 10 and 11 groups doing French listening and reading GCSE this week, so lots of revision being done. At home DS2 has Economics AS on Friday.
Busy at home as well, although emergency flying only being done. DS2's GF currently with us after huge row, hopefully reconciliation underway.
Flying bit - I've done the washing up, and the teens have decluttered anything remotely edible from fridge and every cupboard. Sigh. I'll do a bit tomorrow, as downstairs is a disaster area.
Love and hugs, especially for lady-liberty, toots and lamewolf.
ps oh, just noticed
Thanked...
