I am trying to get this imprinted on my kids brains, I start by saying "dont put.........they finish by saying yes we know "put it away" :T DH on the other hand will never EVER carry it out, its beyond him :eek:

It is rumoured that rowantree wears a gold catsuit

Hiya Bonnie! Just reading through for the first time in a couple of days and saw your post! I hope all is good with you.

I've been flying and OH has been really good in starting some gardening - and we had two good cleans before having visitors, so I have kept on top of things and even de-cluttered some paperwork and done loads of baking with good, fresh veg.

Today I'm going to shop and clean for sick friend - and then chill again tonight.

As for the gold catsuit - well - truth will out! I need to lose at least 7lb to look half decent in it - and also because we go on hols in three weeks! Yikes - I MUST DIET!!!

I'm going to read through now, but send good vibes and good health wishes in advance of that to any poorlies and to any new bods. Hi!

I've been AWOL as I have been reading someone's Debt Free Diary, and it's been haunting, sad, funny and riveting. I'm going to send a message to that lady when I get some peaceful time tonight. Just to say that she is very eloquent and, judging by others' responses, seems to make her readers really think about enjoying the present, even if that present includes lack of money, loss of family, heartbreak and pain.

I hope all flyladies have a good day, R x

Soo angry :mad::mad::mad: I am half day today, this week, I am 8-3 (Tue, Wed,Thur) with 30 minutes for lunch so I should technically only work until 11.15, boss says thats not the way it works & I am finishing at 12 :mad::mad::mad::mad: (Normal working hours are 8-5 with an hour for lunch). I feel like just getting up & walking out at 11.15, what can he do about it :eek:

That seems most unfair, think I'd haveleft at 11:30.

Washing on the line
Walk done
Tried on my summer clothes in the wardrobe. They all still fit, always a positve but just about all I don't like any more and a lot are looking quite tired (some are very old) so I need to go and look out a couple of bits at the shops tomorrow if onlly to invigilate in this summer. I hate clothes shopping, especially summer clothes.

Just finished lunch so going to do the hoovering next, then the mopping and I need to decide what time I am going to do a food shop, DS3 does have a party this evening so I could do it then.
