    I'm in :j
    I have 2 reception rooms neither of which are dreadful but both could do with a bit of a spring clean so will try and do both lounge AND playroom :eek:

    House generally a bit untidy as I discovered random Canadian medical drama Saving Hope at the weekend and watched all 13 episodes of season 1 so no flying done :eek: Worth it to watch the gorgeousness that is Daniel Gillies though... :p

    I often lose an entire weekend to DVD box sets :o We're currently watching Lilyhammer -- if anyone watched The Sopranos, it stars Stevie Van Zandt playing a character almost identical to Sil :D It's very funny, highly recommend it.

    DS2 is VILE this morning, glad his teacher has to deal with him ;)

    Happy flychildren birthdays xx

    Off to work…

    Flylady Meet in York
    on Saturday


    Plan is to meet up at the National Railway Museum between 12.00 and 1.00 and have coffee together, then wander round and/or just sit and chat for as long as we want :D

    The museum is open from 10-5. There is no charge for entry: please just be aware that everyone is funnelled in past the welcome desk and they are very open about asking for donations, but these are entirely voluntary.
    It's just a 5-minute walk from York station and well-signposted, but lifts can be arranged if I know in advance (otherwise my DH will take the car to his meeting).
    Visitor car park costs £9 per day, with free accessible parking. Bring a picnic lunch or buy something there (good food but not cheap).

    At present my list says
    - me
    - CY
    - Mrs Chaos
    - Jazee
    - Bossymoo
    - Pigpen
    - FurryBeastOz
    Have I missed anyone? Does anyone else want to join us?
    All are welcome, including children and OHs.


    Please could you PM me to confirm that you are still planning to come, and I will then send you my mobile number so that you can ring me when you arrive and I can tell you whereabouts to find us.

    We will raise a :coffee: to absent friends including LW, justthetwoofus and HoneyBear and hope to see you on another occasion in your part of the world.
