    Morning everyone.

    Jinky - hope the housework goes well
    Sally - enjoy your morning without DD (well, I hope you don't miss her TOO much)

    I'm at work again - loads to do but will be using the flylady 15 minutes at a time principle to get cracking with those boring tedious jobs. At least if I manage 15 minutes, it'll be 15 minutes more than I've done so far;)

    Sarah - looking good i IPTW:T :T :T :T. I wonder why the heck I thought you were on last week (glad you weren't though as I missed it and the repeat on Sunday, but managed to see it this week).

    Went line-dancing at 8 last night; something very shaming about being the only one under 40 AND unable to do any of the steps.:o Was shattered when it finished at 10, so am planning to make it part of my fitness plan - though it will help if I can find a beginners class to attend as well as this avdanced class! Not bad price either (£3 for 2 hours:T) as opposed to £4 for 45 minute calss at the leisure centre...

    I'll be on again at lunchtime ish (or before)

    I've decided that I can have the morning off and work this afternoon once it's warmed up a bit in here. Rationalising laziness.

    I'm on my 15 minutes of 'free time' which will fly by but... I'm getting things done slowly. I tried yesterday to say I'd work in the afternoon, and then had to deal with another bl00dy problem instead! good luck with the plan Gemmzie.

    Smashed - I'll be on MSN at home again after 4pm (though might get on webmessenger at work, it's not as userfriendly as the version at home). Blooming work IT policy!!!

    Smashed, have been seeing all the bad weather on the telly this morning, I can't believe its been snowing. Do you remember this time last year? well my daughter was in her summer dresses it was that hot!

    Not getting very far with my list of things to do...have phoned CCCS and got that sorted, phoned about marathon application and got that sorted...yay have got one of the 80,000 ballot places! Tried to ebay but my account needs paying, have done through paypal but hasn't registered yet so can't sell at the moment. DD is refusing to go to bed...she was up at 5:30am this morning and there is no way she will get through the afternoon at nursery unless I can convince her ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Hello everyone

    Just having a cuppa before I set off to see a client...they owe me £100 and I am NOT LEAVING without the cheque in my hand. I have a mystery shop too in a bank so thats an extra £10 for the pot.

    Its a bit quiet on hear today, must mean Jinks is actually doing her housework:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
