    Everything now crossed off the list, groceries away so time for a glass of wine whilst I water the garden :beer:

    Windows and bathroom floors will go on tomorrows list, had quite enough for today but the house looks lovely :D

    Hope everyone has a lovely evening and see you for more flying tomorrow!

    ps Dusty, I want popcorn now. I need to hunt a recipe for sticky gooey sauce though, salted is just wrong.

    We just have sugar sprinkled on ours.
    Dress it lovely but not much room for popcorn!

    Kids all back from sporting things so late tea about to be dished then hope OH will be in to put DS3 to bed whilst I finish the kitchen

    Evening ladies

    Managed to catch up with fred for an hour at lunchtime, made notes for all my replies and left it at work so apologies if I miss people out, memory not being what it should.

    Hugs to bonsi and GnB for the probs with OH's, hope they get sorted asap

    Michelle hope you have had an easier day as it sounded like real hard work for you at the moment, still at least we havent seen any of your mammoth lists of late

    Shell, way to go for the driving, and Ely, what a fab city to visit are you far from there? We used to go a lot but since nanny died have only been with my dad to bury her ashes. Might go with dd this week if its nice just for a mog round the market and perhaps take som flowers or something over to Nanny, trouble is it would mean trespassing on distant rellys land, but I reckon its worth the risk. Parking does get easier eventually like someone else said just take your time and keep calm

    Cant remember who was talking about lost mobiles but did you know each phone has an IMEI number. If you know this and lose your phone they can stop the phone working and not just the sim card, so even tho' you cant use, at least you know noone else can either. To find your IMEI key in *#06# and it will come up

    Solway gorgeous dress and very reasonably priced

    Mudbath sound like the voluntary stuff was really positive for you :T

    Seems like some of the newer flyladies MrsV, germish etc are doing really well with their lists putting a few of us more seasoned ladies to shame so guess I better go make a start

    will pop back later

    Right, I'm back. I have achieved about 50% of the list. But I'm seriously pooped. Am just about to rustle up a wonderful (?) concoction using pasta, a tin of tomatoes and anything else suitable lurking in the fridge. Then I'm flopping in front of the TV.

    Why not? Obviously i dont actually know you and you may be thick as 2 short planks, but you certainly dont come over that way. I'm sure you could do whatever you put your mind to. I'm so glad i've finally got round to starting my degree, its 'me' stuff. Not mummy or family stuff. I dont want to just drift and then look back in 10 years time and think 'i wish i had done it then'. At the very least you should look into whatever course you want to do. Like you said earlier, you could have done your degree already.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
