Morning All,

Thanks for the lists, I am in this week. The children are home which is lovely - it has been nice to have the opportunity to miss them IYSWIM. They are always with me other than when they're at school so we appreciate each other all the more now :-)

Flying wise, WM x1 on the line, DW unloaded and re-loaded, soup made, veg bought to accompany tonight's dinner, soft plastics dropped at Co-op for recycling and DS delivered the eggs to a lady a couple of houses up. He thinks he is super independent because I let him do it, bless. 

Will pop back in later x

I was going to say 'Morning All' but I've just seen the time.  Today has not gone to plan and I'm getting very frustrated. 

This will sound really, really dumb but I need some help, please.  I use two computers and I've been logged out of MSE on one of them and simply can't find the Log In page.  Could anyone explain exactly how to get to it please?  I've looked everywhere already and feel such a fool.

ETA:  It popped up out of seemingly nowhere when I clicked on something randomly.  If anyone else has had this problem or can tell me what I clicked on so I don't have this problem again I'd be really interested to hear from them.  I need to make a note of how to log in because it's not easy any more.

And while I'm generally being a total wuss, does anyone know how to forward a text?  Someone has got hold of my mobile number and is sending me Phishing texts.  It's very obviously connected to an Ebay auction / Paypal purchase I made last night and arrived within 10 minutes of the transaction.  Rather a convincing one, as well, but 02 tells me to forward these texts to a particular number but I can't see how to do so on my mobile phone. 

As I said, things are not going to plan today and I've spent my almost entire time today trying to do things I can't do.

Things tidied.  Must wash kitchen floor.

When I get logged out, there's usually a log in box when I get to the forum page?
So try going to forums on the list on the top row and go to the forum, see if the box is there.
Can you log in from the profile button below where it says students?? (notifications, messages, bookmarks, profile)

Currently going through the DVD cupboard and then heading off to do the washing up: aim with both is to clear some stuff out.

Update from me whilst having a cuppa and scoffing a slice of cake delivered as a surprise from lovely neighbour:

- Cuppa decluttered with a friend
- Bag of books delivered to said friend
- 3 huge bin bags of DDs outgrown clothes bagged up for the CS
- Chickens cleared out 
 - Eggs boxed up ready for tomorrow's deliveries
- Finances checked

I now need to do a couple of small bits of admin. If I can convince the children to walk to the CS we will take the bags today, otherwise it can wait until my friend with a car is around x

Press on the text you want to forward and a menu should pop up with the forward option, that is how it works on my samsung phone.

Flylady wise, WMx1 and dailies, reading just not posting, take care all.

Thank you Short Bird and Nmm.  The Sign In box just isn't there sometimes and I know I have to click on something to get it to appear but I can't remember what it is.  Thank you both so much for your help.  I've managed to forward the two Phishing texts (ostensibly from the Post Office.net - which is very convincing as a website when seen on a mobile phone) to O2.  I don't expect anything will happen as a result but at least I've done what I should.

Kitchen floor swept and washed, compost bin emptied and washed out, outdoor pots of dead herbs composted - outstanding job No. 9 billion, so at least I've done that for today.  Tax return signed, £££ coughed up for last year's voluntary NI and accountant's invoice.

Ah Honey Bear - I see your query re text forwarding has been answered.

Have done a bit of flying today but have also got some niggly jobs dealt with.  Third (independent) tyre place I tried put me a new valve in my wheel (was leaking) and didn't try the upselling trick.  First place (national chain) claimed the tyre was damaged...
And the bloke I have found to do odd jobs for me has been and replaced my bathroom sink waste which was leaking.

Thank you for the lists.
Today’s flying has been limited to wm x 1 and HHI.
Good luck to all flykids ( and flylady teachers!) expecting exam results this week.  Tomorrow is the big day in this house. Flying may will resume after the early trip to school in the morning. Spare flylady posivibes most welcome.

Not a lot of flying needed today as we had visitors last week, stayed with friends after a party on Saturday and have my brother to stay now so it is all prepared.  Mr N thanks everyone for his birthday wishes, we had a good time.
Still picking blueberries, our best year yet although we tend to eat them so haven't frozen any. Have made Blueberry Friandes 3 times now as we like them so much. Just started picking tomatoes, still picking French beans.

The baffling glaucoma check by phone didn't happen! I rang the NHS appointments line and when they looked it up, my appt had been cancelled by the hospital but they couldn't see any further info and suggested I rang the hospital. I did so, and was told it was definitely cancelled as 2 doctors had left and they didn't have any replacements hence no appointments, phone or otherwise  - and they had no idea how or why I was sent a text saying the appt was today.  So I had been in the WAC worrying about it for nothing. 

Caught up with a bit of admin.
