  • Hi all

    Been lurking for most of the week. Have decided that as I'm in the middle of decorating the kitchen I'm going to ignore level 3 for a few weeks, as once is done then it's onto the lounge!

    Pigpen - hope all goes well
    LW - hope you had a lovely anniversary. Good luck with your 2 charges
    Bonnie-Bumpkins - congratulations on getting a job, however temporary, sometimes these things turn permenant

    Hugs and spoons to all

    Only basics done today and yesterday. I've been helping a friend. Her dog had pups last night but she had to have a c-section. 3 pups, 1 died and mum has been spayed. They're staff pups, one is blue (like mum) and one is black (like dad) :)

  • Hi flylady friends :)
    Sorry I haven't posted for a while - I've been ill again! Honestly my immune system must be so low in this last year, it's beginning to get me down a bit to be honest :( But anyhoow - stomach is still weak and I feel slighty nauseous still but am determined to crack on today :)
    Before I do:-

    Congrats on the job Bonnie :j :beer: :T


    Was trying to scan through posts to see what good news pigpen and toots have had but can't find it so congrats both on whatever it is :beer:


    Back to flying I have put WM on and decided what things are going where when I clean out my kitchen cupboards and rearrange them so that is what I am going to concentrate on :)

    Love and hugs to everyone x
    Jen x
    Everything happens for a reason :)
