    Well the gas engineer turned up this morning as I was in the middle of moving the stuff around in the kitchen ready to clean it properly. Thank gods I had put the food processor away, I think that is what broke the timer as it was pushed up against it and it caused the dial to stick - oops!! Still at least we got a fancy digital timer now, something new for me to play with..lol

    Am now sitting here having a cuppa and cooling down. Now do I have a browse through my Good to Know Recipes mag, that has turned up in the post this morning, or do I sort out the cookery mags while drinking tea.. Hmm decisions..lol:D

    Rachel hugs honey xx

    Hey everyone :wave:

    Can I come back pleeeease? Haven't really lurked much on here recently but I do still grab a copy of each week's lists and try to follow them..... although I've noticed I'm getting further and further behind with the jobs :o

    I guess a swift kick and posting on here a bit more regularly should help me get back (and stay) on the FL wagon ;). Only 3 wks til the dreaded school hols, we have family down the end of this week, then DD2's sleepover party next week, so a near-sparkling house is going to be a must over the next few weeks.

    Hope you're all ok. Looking forward to having a bit of a catch up xx
    I need direction to perfection...

    Hello

    I've been skiving off as well and CHAOS has well and truly taken over as a result!:o

    Need to get the house straight this week as I'm having a party at the weekend cos it's my birthday on Wednesday. Seems like there's a few July baby Flyladies! :D

    And then next weekend I'm away on a murder mystery weekend with my mate who is also a July baby. We decided to treat ourselves as we're both going to be 39 yrs and 12mths old! :p Can't count any higher than that! :p

    Anyway waffle over, off to start todays list.

    TTFN
