    I agree about the thread being quiet..... anyway today I have:-

    done 4 washloads - 2x normal stuff and 2xloads of dressing gowns. much of this wasing now ironed...

    been to work, then been to bank - paid money into 1 account and got some money out of another. booked financial review - that's next week.

    Been to cinema and booked tickets for DD1 and her best mate to see The Hunger Games. She has left for this so I am all on my lonesome...

    Have just about sorted DD2's outfit for tonight - these 18th birthday celebrations are coming thick and fst - DD2 can barely keep up with it!

    Have put the filters back in the Dyson and can conclude that OH was successful in finding the blockage:T:T- i now have a Dyson full of dust!:o:o.

    B-i-L and his OH up this weekend - the men are going to Burnley to see West Ham play..... I'm not moaning it means some peace for me!

    have a good weekend everyone...
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    Hoping it's quiet cos we've all been flying ready to enjoy the brill weather that's been forecast for this weekend :-) Isn't it lovely to see the sunshine?

    Cyclingyorkie I've just realised that my nightmare (Thursday night) was YOUR AVATAR no way only just spotted it and linked the two.
    I must be really sad if cyclingyorkie is scaring me in the night!!!
    I am flying I promise:-) kept up really well this week so please don't appear tonight :(

    I'm just finishing week nine and am starting to really fly- even finding that my hotspots are not building up- SUCCESS AT LAST

    Hoping it's not a howling lame wolf that scares me tonight:-)

  • busy busy day flying here - have some junior visitors tomorrow so we'll be out all day, but have done 6 loads of washing today, cleared the guest room, and rest of "doing" needed is planned for later with DH's assistance! Been and done food shop for said hungry gannets, parcels to PO, bank, CS run etc etc

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I've been a bit rubbish at posting this week. What with work, two poorly tots, and two (yes two!) evenings out, I've been a bit pushed for time.

    Still, day at home today, 3x wm, out on line (in now!), kitchen sorted (twice), toys all put away, 4 eb@y bundles photo'd and packaged, ready to list, children fed, watered and sent to bed.

    Hoping for a peaceful night. Have got some chicken out to defrost for tomorrow, might do a curry!

    2 watches took to have new batteries at a time travelling shop. It was an old fashioned cobblers.
