    Well I'm up ridiculously early again, so might as well have a cuppa and get on with it. Things are still looking pretty good this morning so am going to concentrate on paid work and sorting out my tax credits (again!) today. Off "proper" work until the 28th :j but during this time I have an OU exam and 2 painful hospital appointments so I'm not being lazy, I promise :rotfl:

    Hope everyone else is doing well :) and hugs to those in need of them. Pigpen - how exciting about Dot! I want pics :rotfl:

    Jo - So sorry to hear about your situation, how awful that your mother would do that :o I hope things get better soon and that she comes to her senses and sorts out her obligations. Congratulations on being sensible and working out a budget though, I know I would probably have panicked and made things worse. I'm sure there are lots of lovely people on here who can give you good tips to help.

    Hello Flylady friends.

    I'm working again today so not sure what I will achieve on the flying front.

    PTA meeting last night to plan the Christmas fete. I've been doing this for too many years!

    I'm taking my baking stuff to work today. It's the only time I have to get cakes in the oven.

    I hope everyone has a good day

    I won't be doing the tiles as I gave them a really good clean last week after painting the ceiling and woodwork. And my desk is the dining room table, lol, which was done yesterday. Might give the equipment a bit of a clean, though. And the paperwork is a must!
