Hellooooo :wave:

I've been AWOL for a while working fulltime - including prearation for TWO Ofsted inspections in three months - there should be a law against that! Thankyou once again to those lovely flyladies who supported me back in January when I took on 'six weeks' work; and here I am seven months later and still employed. :T

But, oh dear, my house :cool: words fail me. Well !!!!!!-heap was how I described it the other day - although a 'cluttered tip' would probably be a fairer assessment What with work, and the heat, and BD, and money, and the house, and me, and the menopause(?), and appointments that need to be made - not necessarily in that order - I'm overwhelmed.

can i come back onto the flylady wagon pleeeeease? now that ofsted spectres have gone it might be a good time to try.........again:o (is there a limit to how many times you can start again?)

I've got tomorrow off - so i'm away to my bed now, gathering my strength for a fresh start tomorrow.

Hugs spoons and sticks available as required - help yourselves

Rxx

roundtuit you're back :j Lovely to see you again. Pull up a chair and have a cuppa, gather your lists before you get going...

Emmmm, its 8.12pm. So the bells start the Olympic opening at 20.12
In my defense I have no interest and have been getting increasngly irratated with the exact countdown being the main headline on every news bulletin this week!

Me too

And before I forget, Bonnie, I hope your first big day went really well! X

It went very well!! I like being in charge and having all the keys round my neck :rotfl: Tiring supervising 2 teenagers though, especially in such heat. Thanks for thinking of me and I hope your nasty bug is gone very soon x

Today I have job admin to do, and an AF delivery mid afternoon. Lord knows where I'll put it, I think I need to pick up some more storage, will see what the local CS has. Ironing is on the list today as it's much cooler today.

Love hugs sticks spoons and kicks up the derriere as required xx

You'd think so, wouldn't you, 20:12 marking 2012 Olympics, and all that - but, no - it was 08.12 this morning... 20:12 probably clashes with something else olympic related... rollseyes....;)

Good morning
I rang my bell at 8.12am (along with BBC Breakfast). the local church bells were ringing too! DS was not amused, as apparently he was asleep :rotfl::rotfl:My children have complained that i am far too cheerful and awake today

Not too sure what to do today with Little Miss Sunshine. i think we may go to the park. I suppose i ought to do some flying too i had to rush outside at 7.15 in my jammies, as it had started to rain & the 2 tops I handwashed yesterday were still on the line.

I will catch up later hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them

>8:12 join in the Big Bell ring .. the what now?!? Anyone trying it near me will get a resounding batter round the head.. I want to be asleep at that time in the morning!!
I hope that you got your much-needed lie-in, pigpen!

8:12 has passed and I didn't hear a thing, even though I was outside watering the pots and hanging baskets at the time. It sounded more like John Cage's 4'33" to me.

I was feeding Dot.. I got to sleep about 3am and was up at 7:10ish..

No it was def. am .. and seeing as I was up at 7 it wouldn't have made any difference anyway.. bloody DD3 screeching again..

Have sprinkled salt everywhere and will hoover later to get rid of the few fleas that seem to be hanging around. For that reason am also doing all bedding and cushion covers etc on hot wash today and will hang out.

Boodle - may I ask what the sprinkled salt is for? If it is a flea treatment, I'd be really, really interested in learnng how it works.

Was Flying like a crazy thing yesterday, aiming to finish the spring clean in the kitchen, came zipping around the counter and ... bang. Three hours later my right foot had been x-rayed, I'd been Entonoxed (lovely stuff) and the small toe is now back in the right position and bandaged in place. The good news is the swelling should be reduced enough by Tuesday for me to don trainers and I can get busy again. In the meantime, I'm going to sort through some hotspots wherever I can put the foot up. I'm absolutely furious with myself, because I've just got over a broken wrist, and the flying is supposed to be physiotherapy!

Hugs to everyone having a tough time today.

Hi all.:hello:

Slightly cooler today (thank goodness) but still nice, though I'm keeping an eye on any clouds forming, as I've got a machine-load of Mr LW's clothes on the whirligig.:o

Roundtuit WB mate – you can start again as many times as you need to, you know. *Hooks antler top of walking stick in Roundtuit's collar and hauls her back onto wagon*:D

Dusty What Bell Ring? *Looks confused* Did I miss something? *Reads on through thread....* Oh... Olympics. Oh well, of no interest to me, then.;)
Anyways, GWS vibes for your DS3 – that sort of temp in this heat must be horrible, poor lad.:(

Hoppy Birdday Boddy.:beer:

:spam: reported, in between Frugalgal and Pigpen's posts above (so that when it's removed, people are not confused);)
ETA: Wow, it's gone already! That was efficient!:T

I need to do the spare room today – normally I try and get ahead and get it done Thursdays if I can manage it, but was too cream crackered yesterday.:cool:

Last day of Mr LW's course today – HOORAY!!!!:T:T:T

Morning everyone, ten days off, hurrah. Time to fly......

DK, hope he is ok.

Church bongs next door sounded at 8.12 but OH woke me leaving at 6am so wasn't bothered. To be fair you learn to sleep through them anyway when they are sounded hourly.

HHC at 11.30 anyone?
