    I'm in again, thanks for the lists ladies.

    My house is a disgusting pit, I've not been well all weekend - man flu apparently lol which has resulted in me spending a lot of today in bed - can't sleep now!

    I'm hoping I'll feel better tomorrow - really need to get some housework done!!

    May have to do my own lists this week as different areas need to be tackled tomorrow

    GOOD LUCK to all those taking exams, no way would I want to be going through that again :]

    Golly how can it be new list time already?
    It has been a few days of mainly freelance work and gardening; both of which needed doing and were enjoyable, but the house could do with a good going over. And my brother's calling in tomorrow eve, on his way back from weekend work in Scotland, staying till Tues afternoon; it will be great to see him, but I'd love to have been a bit tidier/cleaner everywhere first!

    Perhaps I'll make a big effort by about Wednesday...........

    MummyRoysof3: Everyone else is behind at this time of year and dissertations are being panicked over and handed in late and tutors are marking like mad and going mad - you'll be fine. Tell them you're finding it tough, the assignment might be late and it will be submitted. That would be about 100% more than most late submissions bother with in terms of good manners. At the very least, it'll get you some goodwill if you have to appeal. Hang on in there.

    Good luck to everyone sitting exams, and a HUGE (((hug))) to everyone who cares about someone sitting them. Peaceful, calm, quiet coping vibes to invigilators. Hats off to markers. You get a shed-load of stick but I'm grateful to you for giving me the grades I got, because they were fair.

    Pigpen What can we Flyladies do that would make cereal city better?

    My kitchen is going to get such a drubbing tomorrow.
    Better is good enough.

    I'm going to try again this week :o last week just fell apart. Big pack of BD here, helped by not ESA or JSA.
    Had an interview about signing on for JSA to be told by the advisor I obviously wasn't well enough and needed to appeal for ESA :mad: Still no money though. Luckily the extra tax credit payment came so we're ok this week.
    Had to have another long talk with the DDs over money :( just hoping it's sunk in :cool:
    I need them to help more around the house, which I said I'd pay them for and told them no more free lifts all over the place. I hope I've made them realise I have to do 2 trips for every one they want!! :mad:
    I've realised that our Sun holiday is only 5 weeks away :eek: no money saved, ferry not paid for, can't find the voucher thingy for it :o
    I've told the DDs that any money they save for spending I'll match but this doesn't NOT include any money donated by the grandparents! ;)
    I have an appointment at the C.A.B this morning to try and get help with my debts. Already been once, saw a woman who said she'd send me a budget and letters to send the creditors but she didn't send either :mad: I also an an appointment to go back to see a different lady but was too ill to go (had some devastating news that floored me :( ) so had to make this appointment. I'm going with my best friend who's a God send :)

    Ooh I'd love a brew! Just dropped tots off now at surgery just waiting to get weighed.

    Just a thought for exam flykids, my mum insisted I have time out from revision. Much like athletes need rest days:D and I had the odd afternoon to go out and have a change of scene.

    It really helped with the stress. Maybe we can do hhstudy slots and apply fly tips to studenting? Little and often?
