    There used to be loads of pics of me.. my uncle had his own dark room so there were loads.. I care less this morning.. possibly due to 4 hours sleep thanks to Dot and I feel like I have a plum stuck in my throat which tried choking me whenever I laid down.. I feel bruised right down my oesophagus, it just came on about midnight last night :(

    nice and overcast here today... I am sick of the shiny orb now.. I am not good with heat!

    I did pretty well yesterday, despite the unexpected storm - we had thunder! And the bumpkin teens were soaked through and scowling when they got home; DS was looking at the heavens and muttering, while DD had a '!!!!!!?'gesture perfected. It was very funny.

    Showered and presentable in case the delivery men turn up - forgot I have a Governor's meeting this afternoon at 3.30 - will put the slap on then!

    Dog bedding all washed and out on the line - bathroom cleaned and tidy, towels to go in the WM in a minute - go me!!! Phoned in work to see how Boss man's mum is and she came through the op ok, just a couple of minor problems but they are confident she will be ok - they are already talking about getting her up and walking - not that she was that good on her feet to start with! Bit of good news anyway. Just got to wait and see how my mum gets on with the Dr's and her DVT's - then I will be happy!

    welcome to kaymummy

    am hoping to get away from work at about 2, as i have a call with my head of dept at 4 (nothing exciting but my boss is on hol so am filling in for a few things) but need to collect the tots at 5 so will have to call him from home.

    My living room is tidy, just full of dusty fluffies from the dandelion snow we've been having.

    Actually, I must confess to you all. My house is tidy. I am a neat freak. I am a serial declutterer. I am a little obsessed. So you see, my house doesn't need flylady. My head needs flylady. I like it. It makes me feel in control.

    There, I've said it. I'm a saddo...

    Away with the fairies :beer:
  • Can i be in again. I did not do any of the lists last week, so the place is looking slightly rough around the edges, and im out most of today, so will try and catch up this evening, also need to get to my allotment and do some planting at some stage. Hope everyone is keeping well.

    Only flying in our house tonight is related to "leaving for Norfolk tomorrow" i.e. packing for all weathers, ensuring plants out of sunshine and anything liable to go manky out of the flat.

    Hiya ladies been on hols and returned with food poisoning. I've never had anything like it in my life. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy(not that I can think of one!) I've caught up this morning with this weeks thread:)
    Glad your little one is back where she belongs GnB. And Mrs X is doing well. Come on Mrs MP niece we are all thinking of you little one. And love and hugs to your Mummy and Daddy who must be going through torture. My DS was born at 33 weeks n ventilated etc in 1983 it was such a traumatic time. He will be 29 in a few weeks:)

    I like a look of the lists Dusty but am only just 'coming round' today so not putting too much faith in myself today. Today's job for me: try n get in the shower! If I achieve that. I'll be happy:)

    Pigpen I'm glad you feel better about the photos this morning. You are supermum they ob feel threatened by your achievements! Far as I can see its their loss. You've more than enough to be thinking about rather than wasting energy on that!
    BossyMoo I just knew you truly were a superstar:) Please keep up with the postings though I so look forward to reading whats happening in your world. When I was flying well few weeks ago I really think that the flying helps with organising your brain too. Think it's a mind set!
