  • Morning all.

    Thanks for all the good wishes for yesterday, really, really appreciated.
    I did read the thread last night, but apart from cooking tea and washing up I did nothing as I was in a awful lot of discomfort.
    The ultrasound scan didn't show up too clearly so I had to have the internal sort and it was agony afterwards. (sorry if too much info!) :eek:

    So I went to bed with a hot water bottle and had an early night.

    Didn't do packed lunches so had better do those now and get going. Flying will happen tonight when I get in from work.

    Hugs to all those in need.
    Congrats to those with crossed out lists.
    Had loads of messages for people and now can't remember them apart from great news vanilla and happy anniversary! :j
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    Morning all

    Good news about your DS's op LJD :)

    Kaz what happened with the SC? I remember the first few times we used ours we put wayyyyyyyy to much liquid in, once we had that sorted things improved no end (note to start using ours again)

    Pigpen I bought some fabric yrs ago which I have never used but reading and see the gift baskets I am thinking of using it to line some of those so thanks for giving me the idea ;)

    Solway I should join you in the naughty corner as I did nothing to speak of yesterday either. And I have got a couple of friends coming over this morning so I shall be CHAOS sweeping like made once A & W are at school! Hope you are feeling better today.

    Lil_me been thinking about you and keeping my fingers crossed that you complete and get the assignment in on time or get an extension agreed.

    Hugs to everyone else, see you all later

    My DD has just brought her school shoes to me and said I picked the scissors up and they accidentally cut the strap on my shoes. Minutes before she'd wanted to wear her pink shoes for school and I'd said no. So she's ruined her brand new shoes after 2 weeks - I don't think counting to 10 is going to work!

    Morning All,
    I've got window fitters here again today, so not sure how much cleaning I'll get done, but going to take the opportunity to sort through our wardrobe and under bed drawers etc. I'm sure I put some things there to sell on ebay, so I'll hunt those out.
    Have stripped the bed and washed it, its now in the tumble dryer.

    I have an ebay question...how do you know whats worth listing and what I should give to charity? Or do you just list everything and then whatever doesn't sell goes to the charity shop??

    Off to do the dishes and give the kitchen a once over.
    Will catch you all again at coffee time!

  • Good morning all,
    I've been peeping at MSE and the Flylady websites at work (the sites are filtered so I can't contribute, just read) but I've finally got my PC working again at home and I wanted to say hello.

    Morning

    Didn't get a chance to post yesterday but managed to do dailies and level 1.

    DD1 decided to informed me that she needed some new black trousers for a work placement interview, her interview was at 2.30pm, she told me at 12.30pm:mad: Mad rush round the shops ensued !!

    Descended on mum for her 60th when the hoard got home from school/college/work and ended up spending 3 hours there, Dad had decided to teach the hoard how to fire the air-rifles, ok for the eldest 2 (19 & 18) but the other 2 are only 8 & 6 :eek: . DS1 now informs me that he wants an air-rifle for christmas, I might consider it, he is very responsible, not like a lot at his age and, although he will not be able to use it at home, his friends house is surrounded by fields and so is my parents. My sister is selling her old one cheap, so my get that.

    Been keeping an eye on Defra site for any changes to movement restrictions, I am desperate to bring my new piggies home, but can't move them yet.

    My list so far today looks like this

    WM x 2
    TD x 1
    DW x 1
