    Hi elly

    Right. Off to relax. Early night planned as I've been tired lately. My eye is twitching a lot. Does this happen to anyone else?

    Thanks froddy. Glad to hear LW is ok.

    Iona 50% is excellent�� Narc0 well done on resisting the shopping temptation.

    I'm flying off piste again this week. Just dusted the living room. I'm going to have to face an evening of polishing.�� We have a lot of wedding stuff that hasn't seen a polishing cloth in six months and it's really looking tarnished. Oh well DH is on nights. I'll put on back to back M*A*S*H and get going.

    Hope everyone has had a good day.

    Evening all.

    Pigpen - Happy birthday to your DD1

    BM
    - The twitchy eye is a regular occurrence for me.

    Elly - Hi :hello:

    Paid stuff done, all the clothing laundry washed and dried. DD has put the kitchen to bed and more surprisingly got the stuff out for the morning! I think she's trying to make up for driving me up the wall today while I was trying to work. Speaking of which I've just had to go upstairs and yell at her for having her music blasting and singing along while drying her hair. Considering I could hear her louder than the music and the music was louder than the hair dryer I am not very happy with her right now. She should be in bed since its 10.30 :mad: Now she's banging around in her room.

    Personal:
    W -remind DD to text Ex-fil Cut DD hair
    T - DD at higher ed conference, 2.30 finish unless meeting friends
    F - Make sure DD is sorted for Sat.
    Sat - DD out all day

    Morning

    Belated happy birthday to Dancemum and thank you so much to Frodders for passing on the message about LW, what a relief.

    I am at a conference for work today. "Lots of chances to network" = lots of chances for people to talk about themselves and make their jobs sound more important than they really are. Sigh. I didnt sleep very well either as for some reason. I am getting a lift with a work colleague that I dont know very well and may just nod off in the car (1.5 hr journey).

    I did the bathroom yesterday but confess that I didnt touch my office and it does need doing so thats still on the list. LR is reasonably OK might get chance to swirl the duster around later.

    Just doing some ebay parcels as I might just get back before the post office closes.

    Oh and DH is on taxi duties today so at least I get a day off from that!

    Have a good day everyone - fingers crossed for no dramas in the Dizzy household xxx

    Good morning ladies! Just caught up on all the news, so birthday snogs (belated, I realise), speedy surgery wishes, smiles for Wolfy and glad she is well plus a wave to new and returning flyladies :wave:

    Tiny at nursery this morning :j, so I plan to whizz round SM to do a top-up shop, then a blitz on the ironing pile, stuff WM as often as possible, clean fish tank _pale_ (why does that always fill me with dread?) then collapse with a cuppa.

    Toe is still throbbing and is now a purpley colour :(
