Morning Flyers.
DeniseNZ- Dogs are not just animals, they are part of our families. Poor baby being attacked. I treat my cats like my children:o.

I sometimes think my furry darlings get treated much better than my scabby darlings! DeniseNZ - I hope you both get over the incident - poor babe!

Galantvr4 - I LOVE your sig - it makes me smile so much when I see it: It is SO positive!

I can't believe how sparkly it is downsatirs - really just the kitchen floor to do: I'll do that before I meet with Mr Army: that should sort my hormones out!! Right - going to have my shower now and make me gorgeous. I feel a lipstick day coming on (and not just because of Mr Army!!).

We have also begun to use the Dog Listener training book (Jan Fennell) and we need to do a week or so worth of training at home before we can walk her.

DeniseNZ - Can I possibly add a word of very friendly advice that you can ignore as you wish - but I'd hate myself forever if I didn't say anything: PLEASE disregard her method of ignoring your pooch everytime you reenter a room: I've tried it, my Aunt has tried it - and a few others - and all we got were dogs who were convinced they had done something wrong and were in turns cowed and deparate for ANY kind of attention. maybe we all got it wrong - but it broke my heart and took an awful lot of fixing.

Morning all :hello:

Not a good day here - not been on the computer all weekend and when OH gets the email in this morning he finds one from ebay saying they've pulled one of my listings :mad: Keyword Spamming apparently so I've emailed them back saying "well how else am I supposed to list a collection of 11 Roald Dahl books - some as new?" :mad::rotfl::mad: Also pointed them in the direction of that subcatergory which has a number of people listing "collection...Roald Dahl" or "NEW ... Roald Dahl" :mad::mad::mad:

Need to go already and put some washing out as todays forcast is a bit dodgy. Need to go to Asda as we've run out of milk and fruit, and I still have a box of books to edit on ebay (all be it down by 1 listing!). I'm putting blinkers on so I don't see the mound of dishes which I asked OH to wash last night which are still sitting in/around the sink :mad::mad:

Oh well, laters :wave:

Right, after lurking on Flylady, I am finally going to start doing this. I shall start once I have taken OH to work and will keep you up to date. Had new Fridge Freezer delivered last week so I know I haven't got that bit to do, will make up with something else methinks.

Got to phone doc for sick note
Got to make a few other calls
Phone CCCS and do review
Phone Tax Credits and do review
Plus loads more

Wish me luck!!

Mermaid

Here's my list for today:

BM
Washing out
Tidy kitchen
Write letter to Lloyds
Clear greenhouse
Drop forms off to solicitor
Pick up reserved library books
Collect friend's child to have tea with us

Plus anything else I manage to get done.

AnW'sMum - so pleased you found the passport, bet you are really looking forward to that holiday.
Pigpen - that is quite enough Bangles for one week, ta very much. OH was passionately into them when we first met (yes, it was that long ago!). Still recall having to listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over...

Most of the fruit flies have gone now after the hidden fruit in the vase incident. Will try to leave windows open as much as poss today to encourage the last few to depart. Got rid of all fruit from bowl, so there's nothing left for them to eat now.

Have a good day all.
