  • Natty you sound as thought you are having a harder day than any of us. Take care of yourself and be assured that your housework will still be there next week and so will the Weekly Flylady Thread. xx
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    I'm going to kill my bl**dy kitten!! :mad:
    I have just washed and dried the bag I use for my study stuff after she'd weed on it and she's gone and ****ing well done it again!!! :eek:

    Afternoon

    I've cleaned the bathroom and toilet today, I did the desk stuff yesterday. I'm still trying to find my turkey size foil which I know I had left over last Christmas but obviously put somewhere safe when we packed up the kitchen to be done in April. I know as soon as I buy some more I will find it!

    Still fighting off this cold or whatever it is, I couldn't speak at all this morning but I've got my voice back with lots of hot lemon. Still not that comfortable to breathe though. Onwards and upwards.

    Washing out on the line, not a bad day but it doesn't seem to be drying at all. It's moving about though.

    I have been taking care of my feet for the last couple of years, I used to get awful cracks and hard skin but I have been moisturing my heels every single night after my bath and now they are completely crack free, I never thought I'd manage that.

    I fed my Christmas cake yesterday, that will be my festive food bit.

    You may need to use something else to wash the bag as I seem to think there's a scent that they recognise and refresh. Hve alook over here, there's plenty of info on all aspets of cat behaviour.

    Yes please ... In fact, do you want to come and stay and look after me at the weekend? I need someone who won't fuss...
    Awwww, if I thought I'd be of any use to you..... thing is, you'd be the one looking after me!:o Mind you, I'd have to bring Dilly with me, she'll be arriving here shortly.:D

    Natty I'm not on FB so don't know what's happening with you, but have a Wolfy (((HUG))) in any case, as it sounds like you could use it.

    Just need to grab today's list; I was a bit confused reading through the thread from last night onwards, as I did the loo and basin yesterday, then it dawned on me, that's for peeps with Toulouse.:rotfl:(Sorry, rotten pun, but better out of my system, I guess).:D
