Thanks, froddy - this has reminded me. It's such a long time since I met up with mummyyof5 and valli in M'hell and I'd love to organise another get together. February half-term (11th-19th Feb, except for Thu 16th) would be good for me, as weekends will be very busy for a while if I'm going to make any progress with this place. Since I won't be able to keep up with the thread after tomorrow, pm would be best to make arrangements.0 -
Good intentions - tax return is first thing on my list for tomorrow, as I really don't want to be doing it at midnight in the 31st when the servers get overloaded (again). It never takes as long as I think it will and it would be nice to get it out of the way.
Watched the secret life of bees, then had a long soak in the bath. Have taken more cold drugs (sleep inducing ones rather than the wakey-up ones I had during the day) but I still feel vile.... Off to red until I pass out now.0 -
Hi FlyLadies
Thanks for starting the thread
So sorry to hear about the young lad, it's so sad.

Well it's my DD's birthday today - double figures - so her friend slept over last night and we are going out for dinner today. They didn't go to sleep until late though so I'm not expecting them to be up yet! Back to school and work tomorrow so early nights all round tonight and sorting out of uniforms, etc.
Have a good day all
