June/ July Challenge

i failed with the weight loss and keeping up with the fly lists :obut i did the cross stitch, supporting mil and keeping in touch with my family more. in the bigger picture i think those are the more important things. not the cross stitch so much but that kept me sane in moments of need.
not sure what i weigh to be honest as i just havent had the time to go on the wii fit for weeks so i might surprise myself when i do go on it.
thank you to Bossy and to you Honey for set the challenges and keeping them going. i enjoyed taking part.

Bossy take all the downtime you need, sweetie; we'll all look forward to your return, when you've recharged your batteries. Hoping life stops throwing you such rotten stuff. Love to you and the Little Moos.

Suggest that you keep some lemon in the fridge and next time you get bitten rub it on until it stops itching. I always get horrible reactions to bites but find that helps enormously

Thanks for that info - I always have slices of lemon in the freezer, as I prefer lemon in tea as opposed to milk, so it'd be easy to defrost one to rub on bites.

Moomin hates the high school... how do I work with this one???? She has friends moving up with her but she hates it and is begging to not do transition week (last week) or finish the summer school (this week) ... I don't know what she doesn't like but she is so miserable and she doesn't even start until September!!! I know she is in lots of pain with all the walking they are doing but she is refusing to take any meds for it.. I think I need to speak to the consultant about the level of pain she is in and refuse to leave until something is sorted other than the 'give her calpol' .. seriously!!!

I feel for her. I loathed school from the day I started to the day I left. Being in pain makes everything else seem twice as bad, too. Sending her pain-begone vibes.

I've just poo-picked the garden.... again.:D I think these two are conspiring against me, to ensure that there's always at least one pile of it out there.:rotfl: I've given them a good grooming this morning; it's taking a lot longer than usual, as I'm having trouble gripping the brush (stoopid wrists!) but we get there eventually. Bailey does his best to bite me while he's being brushed, but all he gets is a mouthful of metal splint.:D He's the fluffiest, and moulting fit to beat the band; Cassie loves being groomed, and keeps pushing in - "never mind him, brush me; brush me NOW!!":rotfl:

I also washed the bath towels and a bunch of hankies in the WM, and my purple dress by hand, so those are all out on the whirligig. Actually, the towels and hankies are probably dry by now; the dress was last seen dripping onto the lawn, as I can't wring out for a W£rthers 0riginal!:D

I think all Flyladies must be either sunbathing or doing end of term stuff. Seven hours and no posts!


I've been up to the attic again and there are six boxes of assorted stuff going to the CS tomorrow. Mostly books but a few other bits and pieces as well.

Morning all

Bite on ankle has developed nicely overnight - lynne do you just cut the lemon and rub on?
QUOTE]


YES !! I know it works as otherwise I get big itchy jelly blisters :eek: that last for about a week.


BTW - if you know you are going somewhere likely to get bitten just dilute some real lemon juice in a bottle of water and wipe all over exposed areas. Take bottle with you if you going to be out a long time and redo. (Spanish lady told me this years ago - thank goodness :j)
