Right, so the new group of baby steppers begins.

Start with babysteps I am thinking we all need to have done up to babystep 7 by the end of the week. If you want to do more than one in a day, then feel free, but don't level up as it were (DH plays online games ) until we are all there!!!

If you are feeling all confident and enthusiastic, then do Kelly's Mission for the day too.

Mission for the day

Have fun! I've gotta work for a couple of hours, then I'll come back and update on my progress

does a cup of tea count?

Flamesparrow · 17/05/2007 15:57

thanks flame. he got back late. the car isnt too bad and the insurance company have been good. luckily we protected his no claims and he gets a courtesy car so it is just £250 excess we have to pay.

Some tosser in a 4x4 broke down at a right turn junction and stayed there eating sandwiches (rather than moving to side of road). DH needed to turn right but had to go to the left of the 4x4 to do so. He turned right but had not seen an oncoming car as his view was so obstructed. It means it was techinically DHs fault. Fortunately he's ok. 4x4 driver then stayed in his care and finished his sandwhich. Didn't offer to help or anything.

promise to catch up on housework later.

Hello Flame. I just spotted this and have had a read through. You're doing really well, both for yourself and for inspiring others. Well done! I'm sure they appreciate being guided through the first stage of FLYing. Oh, and a quick hello to other Welsh FLYers!

Flamesparrow · 18/05/2007 09:20

That's really nice, thank you

I've managed to put a load in, fill the d/w and hoover downstairs.

Off to get a cuppa and a glass of water now.

TheMaskedPoster · 18/05/2007 11:54

am busy RL-ing it to the max today, so the FLY is sliding...(it's just a coincidence that the sun is shining here as well, of course )

have managed to do a load of washing and clear the side etc though ...

hope everyone else is ok

glassslipper - glad your dh is ok and that the car is going to get sorted
