    Struggling already this week, but really need to get on it before going back FT next week :eek:
  • Hi to everyone. It's been another busy day here - another early appt at the dentist, followed by shopping, post office, brunch and then work! I cooked a mixed-veggie meal tonight, as had only eaten scrapilly today, and am now having my last (milky) drink of the day, then bed! I am so weary!!

    But, Dusty, you must be a mind-reader, as I want to do the conservatory tomorrow, and there it is on the list!! I also need to do 'corners' and some sorting out, am also doing shopping and cleaning for sick friend, need to colour my hair, walk neighbours's dogs, and get a meal in the slow cooker - so another busy day. We have had a late invite to London for the weekend, which is quite a haul from here, so have also had to arrange the cat sitter, but we'll be leaving Friday lunchtime, and I'm hoping we don't get snow!!!

    But bed calls now, and I'm hoping for a settled night - as I'm sure will be lots of you. Good wishes to everyone and extra thoughts to those feeling low or poorly. R x

  • morning all! Had a slightly better nights sleep last night so feel almost human! Not much flying achieved yesterday but did get DD1 to the dentist - we went by bus - next time she will be able to do it herself!

    If there are any spare flylady posivibes around DD1 is at the GP's this afternoon to talk ( sob) about her stomach pain. I am going with her. She feels that they don't take her seriously - and I have to agree. Neither of us is looking forward to it, but we have to go...

    Am grabbing a cup of tea with my breakfast and am completing Level 1 whilst catching up on t'net!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    4 hours sleep after 3 the night before is not quite enough! I feel most sick! Dot did actually sleep until half 7.. DD2 set the smoke alarm off at 7am.. so I had to deal with that.

    *yawn!*
