    Hello all xx
    Long time no see xx

    Hope everyone is well and looking forward to tomorrow xx

    I have been trying to keep up but unfortunately had to make a heartbreaking decision regarding Max the beloved dog last week :(

    That did throw me of track for a while before and afterward but the house is looking ok and everything is pretty much ready to go :)

    Have a great Christmas all and I hope to be back with you all pretty soon xx

    Merry Christmas to all Flyladies, past and present. I hope today passes happily for those celebrating with family and family, and peacefully and calmly for those coming to terms with losses.


    I love my Secret Santa gift! It's one of my colours, so it will be used and used and used. Thank you.
    Better is good enough.

    :santa2:Happy Christmas to all my Flylady friends:xmastree:
    :rudolf: I hope Santa has visited everyone :xmassmile

    A big thank you to Secret Santa for my gifts - lovely smellies, chocolate and a multicoloured hat - DH's comment was "The colours are just right for you, and it goes really well with your dressing gown!" I shall wear it with pride (but not usually with my dressing gown :rotfl: )

    I went with my friend to hospital last night as she had been sick for 24 hours. I have just phoned and been told that she has been given some medication that has helped a lot. I will be taking her son to visit her later this afternoon. DH is being very understanding :A

    My DS2, DDiL2 and DGS3 are coming for lunch :D

    Hope everyone has a peaceful and restful day xxx
