    Been flying off-list - keeping my foot up the bottom of my youngest - A Levels are looming! Still today she has worked hard and she seems more relaxed about the photography now......

    I have caved to pressure and joined facebook ( my kids are horrified! But I missed a death announcement earlier in the year so I have bitten the bullet!) can someone direct me to the flyladies on there? I think there is a flylady group on there..

    Evening peeps

    Another full day at the paid stuff but managed to clear 3 things off my mini frog list. Called at the doctors surgery to register for making online appointments, make an appt for B12 inj and get form for repeat script. Managed to get injection done there and then so thats saved another trip.

    Since getting home I have done the online registration so that ill make things a lot easier going forward, had a cuppa and caught up and deleted emails.

    Still having problems with the main PC so not able to copy/paste so will have a look back at main list and see what can be/has been done.

    Hopefully back later to update

    Hi Claire - are you far from there, its a town I love. It was my dads home town and my gran lived there until she passed away a couple of years ago. Dad was part of a large family and one of his cousins used to keep the chip shop on the market place, and another was The Eel Man who has a corner in The Cutter in his memory!

    Facebook group - you need to let Pigpen/Lil me or seafarers mum know who you are by PM here I think.

    busy/busy/busy. All work - no cleaning. Hurrah. (a lie - I have filled the DW which surely counts?)

    Hi all

    We're home and I've been flying. Cats had kindly trashed the house in our absence so,

    3 beds all changed,
    upstairs all hoovered
    Kitchen sides wiped
    WM1 on
    4/5 bags unpacked

    Really flagging now as I only got about 20 minutes kip on the plane. I'll wait for the washing to finish and put it on the maiden and reload before retiring, I want to make it to 8pm if possible.

    Jue thanks for much for doing the lists whilst I've been away

    SaveDosh stardrops makes me cough so I rarely use it

    Welcome newbies.

    Hi Kazmeister, I'm in Soham 10 minutes from Ely although my Mum and Dad live there. It is a lovely place indeed and I know the places you are speaking of. Small world isn't it!

    Will have to fit my FLYing into the morning tomorrow as we are out in the afternoon but I would never have achieved this amount of work a week ago :D

    See you all tomorrow.

    Happy Birthday msgnomey - hope you've had a lovely day!

    I've spent most of the day decluttering the Scout hut where my new Beavers is and then I've been to visit another Beaver colony tonight so not a lot done at home at all.
