    Evening all

    As it is Halloween weekend I have decided to spend the entire weekend eating frogs. I have too many jobs hanging over me which I find makes me procrastinate and achieve very little. I have cleared the DR table in preparation for this.

    Hoping to start the first week in November feeling more organised and to find time to enjoy the festive decorations etc.

    Morning all

    Valli - good response and very tempting.

    Having a nice quite hour on the kitchen sofa before starting the day. Going to flick through some old magazines and recycle some and then frog munching here I come.

  • Morning everyone

    Woke up at 4.30am fretting about things. Money, work, DS, things that need doing etc etc. I got up at 5 and came downstairs. Feel a bit better now. I love Vallis idea of either munching those frogs or dropping them in a cauldron and seeing them vanish for ever ...

    Pigpen I could do with you to go and sort out the !!!!!!!! (I put those in myself) who owes me £100 for some work I did and is now ignoring me.

    Right, more coffee I think.

    DO NOT POST ANY PERSONAL DETAILS ON THE WEEKLY THREAD!!!


    To join the Flylady Secret Santa, please email me at the following address:
    ionafan48 (at) gmail.com [replace (at) with @ and remove the spaces before and after the @ sign ;)]
    Send me
    - your MSE user name (so that I know you are a genuine Flylady),
    - your real name (if you wish to disclose it to Santa)
    - your postal address (essential!)
    The list will close at midnight on Saturday 21st November.

    After the list has closed, I will send you the name and postal address of one other person.
    You choose a gift (or a couple of mini-gifts) for that person - we usually set ourselves quite a low "maximum outlay" limit.
    Do also bear in mind the parcel postage cost :eek: and mind the weight.

    You post the parcel yourself directly to the lucky recipient, to arrive in good time for the festive season.
    Before you post the parcel, please mark it clearly on the outer wrapping "Flylady Secret Santa".
    It's up to you whether or not you put a return address on the parcel: some Flyladies put a relative's address instead of their own, whilst others are happy to reveal where they live (though of course the contents are sent by "your Secret Santa" :xmassmile)

    When you receive your parcel from your Flylady Secret Santa please email me again to say that it has arrived :j

    I hope I've covered everything!
