    LW enjoy the film, as it is half term, I hope that the number of people that are around there, don't upset you or cause you any issues xxx
    We didn't go in the end; by the time we'd gone to S/drug and got our meds, I felt so ill with the amount of people around that we called it a day.:(

    And Lamewolf, I'm so glad the visit to the doctors was not so traumatic - let's just hope they get it right next time.
    Ah, but the saga hasn't ended.:( They issued the script, so I have my meds for this month, but they put a little slip with it ordering me to make an appointment with my "usual doctor" as they put it.

    Anyways, I've been onto the online booking system, and the only appointments available for Dr F are on Wednesday 26th June, mid-morning. I'll need another script by then, so have no choice but to go then (I've nabbed the 10:00 slot) and for Mr LW to take a day's leave to take me.:( Luckily he's kept a few days' annual leave un-booked for just such occasions.

    He always texts me when he arrives at work, to let me know he's there safe, so as soon as I got his text I called him to let him know. Ironically, it's the week after his week off.:mad: He's fine about it, but I feel so cross - it's their error, and we're being made to jump through hoops because of it.

    I shall have Ted staying with me at the time - luckily I know he'll be fine left on his own for a bit, he's stayed here many times and considers this his 2nd home.:D

    Some good news: some of you may remember I've been trying to offload some voluntary paperwork I've done for the last decade, but is now becoming too much for me.... I have a taker!:T:T:T We're on track to hand over the files during Mr LW's week off, so I now need to check they're all in apple-pie order, make sure we have stationery templates, print off a bit of stationery to get her started, that sort of thing.:o Luckily, I did the annual archive exercise just a short while ago.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    bossymoo fingers crossed for the big one!!

    I've only managed quick declutters Tuesday and Wednesday. Am off work today but my office is a huuuuge job that can not physically be done in a day. We moved into this house a year ago and the office has been the junk room / stuff to ebay room / anything else we don't know where to put room. It's a state! Got a few paperwork bits to do then I'm going to make a start (gulp). Wish me luck!!

  • HELP!

    I am new to flylady. I'm going through the flylady website trying to get an understanding of what I need to do however theres so many links to different pages that I am getting confused. Is there anyone who has a beginners guide? Or can explain in steps what I need to do?

    Thanks

    welcome lampshadebrown.
    i must admit i dont go on the flylady site i just use this thread and the lists on here to help me.
