Now caught up on thread.
Bossy, you'll be missed, hope everything's ok.
Sorry to hear about little marmite. Our moggies do occupy a special place in our hearts don't they?
Pigpen, I couldn't view the vid but am on the iPad.
Lamewolf, I think a target sounds like a good plan.

I have a sprawled mog on my lap. She's not a lap cat but I think she might have changed her mind after 5.5 years!

Monday: still need to Hoover and mop. S&S sinks and loos. An hour needed in my bedroom :eek: and need to plan something for next week.
Tuesday: still need to clean a window.
Wednesday: have we skipped a day?! Will crack on with bathroom grot tomorrow .
Hugs to all, sticks and spoons to those who need them.

FLYMEET TUESDAY 29TH OCTOBER

I have the following on my list:

bonnie
froddington
ionafan
shortbird
rebeccaharris31
decko
juliejim
furrybeastoz

rebecca I know you said you weren't sure if you could make it but see how things are on the day x

Anyone else? The more the merrier!!

The plan is to meet in or near Birmingham New Street Station and have lunch and sophisticated chat nearby... most likely the Bullring... I am very happy to be guided by local flyladies in the know as to good places to eat... then depending on who is coming and ages of children we can plan what to do later in the afternoon.


Pm me if you have any specific queries

Morning all. Dusty you had me hopeful it is Thursday but never mind. Early start at the paid stuff today but first I'm going to make DD a packed lunch, do the hall jobs from yesterday's list and have a soak in the bath to relax me before big announcement at the paid stuff. Will also fit in a quick dog walk.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning
My little Tiny gave her first laugh today, whilst awake, she's chuckled in her sleep before. Quite why she chose 2.30 am I don't know. She was shouting babbling and laughing for nearly an hour. Fortunately I was I'm good spirits at that hour.
Not happy at it being this time already, shattered.
Have a good day.

That feels like enough to be getting on with. Will try to do a few extras along the way.

Sorry wishing thinking on my part too, DS3 so needs half term.

Morning all

Who's got rain again then?

Hoping to get quite a it done today. Off to see my friend who had the foot procedure in a bit.

DS2 got his first uni offer yesterday :j It is the one he wants as his backup so a very good start, he would go there if his other offers don't come through.

Shower for me next.

Yawn, morning! Really had to drag myself out of bed at 7:30. A combination of DH snoring his head off ALL night and torrential rain most of the night did not help me to slumber peacefully.
I was strict with myself and did our bedroom HH this morning before leaving the room. All beds are stripped and waiting to go in the wash.

Eta: Friend dropped in unexpectedly :eek: as I was posting this to return my vax. She was greeted by a pile of clean washing and a bomb site of a kitchen . She asked what I was doing today and I gestured wildly around, "this!". She's gone to work now after a quick cuppa.

I realised after she'd gone that I hadn't got the WM started so that's now 1 load behind. Annoying as I have tons to do and DH has said he's painting DD's bedroom this evening. Oh well, finish my coffee and then
HHC anyone? I will be dismantling the Hoover and trying to sort out the belt, then folding the washing, then hoovering.
