    Went to DS2's parents evening last night and received glowing reports from everyone, so very happy there. My book friend is coming for lunch today - we get together every other Wednesday, eat cream cakes and talk books - so no flying planned for this afternoon but will have a look at pigpens lists and choose something from them to do when my friend has gone home......I do think she (pigpen that is, not my friend) is amazing - seems to cram so much into every day and still finds time to lead flylady and keeps a sense of humour....great stuff :T

    *blush* :o *blush*

    I don't DO anything!!!!

    I just know how to word the little bit that I do actually do to make it sound like I am busy! lol.

    I managed to get the ratbags to school on time today though which was amazing. I have both WM's loaded and on too.. I must get the bed stripped shortly though or the sheets won't be dry by bedtime and I stuck to them this morning.

    DS1 has his last 2 exams today then he has officially left high school.. and I can kick him out of the door to get a job..

    I'll go find a list of some kind and see what catching up I have to do!

    Just to say thank you again to pigpen.

    I've just skimmed this thread, so hugs to all, and I will thank you all properly when I can get the dratted thanks button to work!!!!

    Yesterday, took down a calendar in the study from 2006 :o

    Going cold turkey on the diet coke (again) this time the reward is not having heart attack. Tablets helping. Can't believe myself sometimes.

    hev, I know it's hard but I have every faith in you, keep it up, better to do so than to go back to it and have the cold turkey again.
    MrsV we do have a couple of Flyfellas I am sure, many who read rather than post, Flyboy hasn't made an appearance for a while, wonder where he's hiding.
    Denise, I am sure it'll be fine, good luck!
    PinkFairy good luck with the interview.
    soappie, wish I could join you with the duvet day, we've all had colds for over a week now, hope you are feeling better soon

    Just been over my friends with her patio set (got it delivered here with my wilkos order) but must get some studying done, well ok not some but lots, the CMA (online assignment/test) needs completing TODAY and I haven't finished it :(

    Right, emails check, look through the post then studying, will strip the bed once DP gets out of it and get that lot in the wash. Have a nice day everyone.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
