    Evening

    Not long back from a lovely evening at my brother's with a nice meal and a Wii party. Just having a bedtime drink and catching up on emails. Good job too, as soemone is coming for a Freecycle fridge between 8 and 9 in the morning!:eek: I said I'd better make sure I'm up. I was hoping for a lie in as I was up soon after 6.30 today for some reason. If I'm lucky it will be raining, so DH will be at home as climbing will be cancelled.

    Well, I'm off to bed now, so goodnight all and hope you all sleep well.

    Thought I'd let you all know how I got on - first flylady day! Got up at an unheard of hour for a weekend, full of beans! As the weather was so lovely, I decided to tackle jobs outside of the house - and got sidetracked painting my fence - all 6 panels and one shed! Took recycling to the tip, and came back with a push-bike (cycling to work now!), cleaned windows, and sorted out more items for ebay/car boot. Have planned more lovely stuff to do tomorrow - looking forward to clearing out kitchen cupboards, and generally having the "raging cleanies"!!
    Thank you all so much for the inspiration and motivation!

    Hippy thanks :rotfl: yes it's today now I suppose, I need to be up at 6am ish and I can't sleep, I haven't printed out the lists yet but will do that in the morning (because I can't be fluffed to find the other laptop) I am hoping it's a success and fully intend to highlight to DP that I support him entirely in what he does usually, but I am not backing down on the family day I have booked.


    Welcome and well done to the newbies!!!

    Right, try to sleep round 3, see if I can get to sleep, good night and maybe see you all tomorrow evening (or through dinner time if I can sneak home for long enough) hope you all have a nice day x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Children behave.. that's what they say when we're together.....And watch how you play
    They don't understand and so we're

    Runnin' just as fast as we can
    Holdin' on to one another's hand
    Tryin' to get away into the night
    And then you put your arms around me
    And we tumble to the ground
    And then you say

    I think we're alone now
    There doesn't seem to be anyone around
    I think we're alone now
    The beating of our hearts
    is the only sound

    ...

    ...........



    ..............

    And is now a good time to stop singing and go to bed?????????? because it is soooooooo sad actually being able to type out the words to a Tiffany song without having to google it.... hubby is not impressed with me.. see you in the mooooooning

    Morning all - though it's so dark here, it feels like night time - we have a terrific thunderstorm going on at the moment. I'm glad I did Mr T's (and the painting!) yesterday.

    Not quite sure what to do with my day so I think I'll take it hour by hour. This hour, I think I shall do meself a fry up breakfast :D
