    Is it bathrooms tomorrow? I need to do it today coz i'm working tomorrow? Actually, thinking of telling OH he needs to do it, hee hee.

    Back on moneysaving - this flying is definitely saving me money as I'm no longer getting down about the house and thinking everything needs to be replaced. It's all looking quite sparkly as it is.

    Is it bedtime yet?

    Yeah rumbly we're a good age this year xx
    January budget

    We did get threatened with eviction before as home cleaning didn't count as money saving. We did point out how many of us do this instead if having a cleaner (me!), how many of us did it as part of wanting to sell our houses for more money (me!), how many cheaper cleaning tips are shared (ie washing powder for soaking oven shelves - not me!). As I remember Squeaky intervened (and is consequently an honorary FLYboy) and we were told to keep it to mostly cleaning - which I think we do.

    I did do my EHHC - and the place looks a lot better for it.

    Why is this funny? You can go off of people really quickly especially when your face is suffering from the effects of gravity and you are starting to look like one of those dogs with the big gowlers!

    Hi guys :wave:

    shell aww thanks for thinking of me x

    pigpen yes nail pictures please

    Tia more shoes........woohoo!

    My hair's gone! :eek: it was half way down my back (never noticed cause it was always in a bobble) and she paraded me around (in the chair) in front of the grannies and chopped it off DRY! it was too long and thick to wash apparently (tight gits more like) so she had to cut it first talk about embarrassing, and the amount of grey hair I've got, well, I almost cried. Gonna have to dye it. Looks fab now though everybody's commented on it *preens*

    Got the tea on the go at the minute and once that's been scoffed I'll do a S&S of the kitchen then......I dunno......:confused: play with my hair probably I can't stop feeling it :D

    Erm I'm 41 in April and feel double that most days, and now I have grey hair AND I'm gonna be a granny it confirms it :(:D I think sexymouse is 23/24?

    Only if you will swap for a very similar 5 year old! :D

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
