    Well back into the office again today.

    Pigpen, I'm sorry to hear about Barney. It is hard when pets die.

    Let me find the list and see what I have to do this evening.

    Morning All

    DH been and gone and the kids managed to see him so they're happy. Today I've got to go into Hanley at lunchtime for a mortgage review and so I can shout at them. I've told the kids I'll take them out for lunch first - 1 wants McDonalds and the other wants to go to BHS so I don't know where we'll end up!

    Tonight, DS has his swimming lesson at 5.30 so I shall have to take him there. Other than that I've got nothing planned - I would normally do some shopping while I was in Hanley but I don't really feel like it and the kids will only mither me to buy them things - well DD mainly.

    Pigpen - sorry to hear about Barney - lots of hugs all round in your house today.

    Mudbath - hope you had a good night's sleep - I'll pm you in a minute.

    I am off to work for mental rest from everything going on at home! Will see shat delights they have to throw at me this week lol Should be a bit easier as my mate is back from her annual leave so at least someone has been there who knows where things live!

    Grandad was from Leith, Aunt Daisy used to live in Morningside, my cousin's daughter from Warrington is at uni there, and I used to work at Ashbrook House, Ferry Road, Leith many years after my grandfather had left Scotland!

    It really is a small world, i'm in Leith!! (One of the nice bits;) )

    Hugs to the pigpen family, losing a pet is really hard, we had a cat for 18 years and it took us about 5 years to get another one after he died because we were so upset at losing him. Then we got a lovely kitten who died at 18 months with an undiagnosed heart condition:(

  • Pigpen Hugs to you and your DD. It is horrible when you know that you can't fix something. Hope things don't seem too bad this morning.

    Mudbath Hope you are alright and just to say I am thinking of you. (((BIG HUGS)))

    Just wandered off to look at the Boots thread, and now I want to go and buy some P&P gift set, get the GWP and use the highlighter voucher and the £5 No 7...and I have absolutely no money at all to spend before Friday, and even then I shouldn't be frittering it... (for abbreviations, please refer to the Boots thread, this has nothing to do with flylady!!)


    SerenaCan you explain this, please. I did try reading the Boots thread but there seems so much that it is confusing. After having my 2 children I don't seem to be able to hold more than one thing in my head at a time! Why are these things such a good deal. Is it only a good deal if you were planning onn buying the stuff anyway.
    Have to stay I did very well with the 75% percent. Managed to get a trike for DD and it is great. Bought other stuff as well, of course.

    Hmm, well I seem to have 3 loads of washing to day and have not included the duvets etc but will try and do those too. Not so easy today as DD and DS are home. MIL has offered to babysit :D but would like to go out for a meal with DH rather than tidy up ;)

    Morning all

    After my mammoth cleaning yesterday while DH was looking after DS I haven't got much to do today flying wise. The suns gone, think it took my motivation too! Feel like I've got a million and one things to do and should be getting on but I'm sat here.

    Just put DS back down for a quick nap as hes in the foulest of moods.

    Mudbath - good luck today xxx will be thinking of you later

    Pigpen - so sorry about Barney, losing a pet is hard esp. for kids, your post made me want to cry, wanting to help your DD is lovely

    Pink Fairy - enjoy!!!!

    Right, really better move xx

    Mudbath fingers crossed everything's A-ok today, try not to worry too much (easier said than done, I know) thinking of you x

    Pigpen & piglets ((((((((big squishy hugs))))))))

    Not at work till 1pm so got the whole morning to do whatever, not flying though as it will muck up my Saturday routine LOL so just dailies and maybe a trip to the shops. Work's settling down now so hopefully I'll be back to the daily flying soon, not next week though as it's half-term, I'll be lucky to get the dailies done lol.
