Thank you Honey Bear9 -
I seem to have just lost an hour or so, getting to the end of the library book recommended by ASB! Really enjoyed it, so a big thank you for that xAfter peaking this morning, only random jobs have been done this afternoon, and I finished off DD’s jumper. She is planning another one for me to knit now. Rehomed a few more kitchen bits, a few more also despatched from the house. Another Mr M shop booked, as we have people coming round on Friday night and I have no other time to get some food in.7

Hi y'all....just paddling on by in my canoe...
Some really big changes going on in Dizzyland - some exciting, some terrifying, some expensive and others not so much. I can't remember when I was on here last, but I've missed all the news and encouraging support, so I'm back and ready to restart my Flylady journey...I see some new-to-me names...
Brief overview - I'm now working 40 hours M-F in an office job, will shortly be opening a dog grooming business for extra weekend and evening work, still utterly poor (will this ever change!?) and owe a truly staggering amount, which needs dealing with. Life is the usual chaos, the house is an awful pit, currently filled with puppies and my children are growing more feral by the day.
Where do I start?9 -
Lovely to have you back where you belong, Dizzy, I often think of you when I'm out with Rosie on the Three Fields and enjoying the view in your direction. Start by making your bed so that you get a comfortable night's sleep, and remember to keep posting so that we can all cheer you on xxx
I finally went shopping this morning and have filled the fridges. Then I took Rosie for a short walk between showers, made white bean soup for lunch (delicious, cheap and filling) and went for my regular 6-monthly horse piddle check-up (no problems). DH is out this evening so I am going to sit and watch GBBO. Tomorrow is going to be another busy day - morning, afternoon and evening.
Keep smiling, Flyfriends xxx

Ah Dizzy how lovely to have you back, when we get heavy rain and flooding I always think about you. Can't wait to hear more of your news.
In the office for 12 hours today, I did manage a 30 minute break.. The meeting went badly, I tried to let the work colleague know that I was on to her without directly accusing her of lying and she got very angry. She doesn't work directly with me so I don't have to deal with her often but I don't trust her. I did feel better though. Good point about letting my work speak for itself Round, I have decided that I am not wasting any more energy on this.
DH has been home again. The weather has been rubbish, not that I have been out much!
Oh and once again Flying has been minimal.10 -
I was supposed to go to a couple of stonemasons with a friend with morning but she rang me at 07.45 (barely awake) and said she wasn't feeling well enough to go, so it's been postponed. I was sorry, of course, that she was unwell but not sorry that I wasn't going as we've had a lot of rain today, until mid-afternoon, sometimes heavy.It wasn't a day for going out so I just popped to the local shop/PO to post something and buy the paper. As it's only a small shop you have to queue outside for the post office bit. I stood under the awning to keep dry but the person at the front of the queue seemed to be posting a million things and took ages.Other than that I've prepared lunch, tea and supper and washed up twice. I also did a bit of ironing, administered the usual eye drops, help A with some personal admin, took delivery of a Waitrose order (some things unavailable so will have to go to my local branch tomorrow and hope they have them) and put it all away.I keep looking at the Dust Magnet box, which is on the kitchen floor and thinking, yes, I really must use you again as it's been a while, but somehow I never get around to opening it.10

Ok, I've sort of caught up, but can only remember Valli's post, sorry xx I hope .......I don't know what , my Step-Dad had dementia, so my thoughts are with you and your family xx
DD had to come back as she had left wearing OH's shoes!! He was not impressed, she has already "borrowed" one pair!!! Luckily she was still local, saying goodbye to a friend.
Still getting nowhere with TT, but I only have 3 months left with them and there are some good deals about ATM.
After watching Martins Christmas special, I'm looking to switch bank account for £175......... taking forever to load, so guessing a lot of others are trying to do the same thing.
I have found another local job, that sounds ok........the amount of work given for the money where I am is continuing to get to me!!
Hugs to all xx
Oh, flying...........I made the bed and went to work??? Sorry
