Hi all. Have you missed me? Good news. I should be back on broadband tomorrow!

Hope everyone is ok/DC are ok. We all all ok here.

DD1 is getting better at being left at school. She went to a friends to play again today. i really want to ask her friend round to play but i am ashamed at my house. It is looking better in places but no where near as lovely as their house. Mind you, they have a gorgeous house, Massive plasma tv on the wall and pool in the garden .!! DS2 is friends with their other DD too. Apparently she declared her love to him last time he went round to play (awww).

So i really need to have a massive tidy(again) up and sort my life out!

SlightlyMadSweden · 25/09/2007 18:49

hello everybody

Did any of the FLYbabies miss me? Did you notice I wasn't here? Have you seen how late I am????

I've been to work.

Still only feeling 80% but figured a bit of routine and stop feeling sorry for myself. Am shattered now so not much flying tonight. Intend to start tomorrow again...

HazelNuts · 25/09/2007 19:01

Hello all

Not been in for a while. 1st Laptop went wrong and then the phone line was down for ages.
The builder we had in chopped through the wire and BT would not fix it until someone paid them to do the it. So it was arguments between BT and the builder. The wire was hidden so the builder did not know it was there. No-one else could fix it because it was before the BT box thingy.

I done some FLYing today. Not being able to move/walk I dont get to do much these days but today I cleaned all the bits and pieces from the lounge. Mum done hoovering and polishing in the lounge while I washed all the ornaments and then she put them back. The lounge was looking great until DSs came back from school, now toys everywhere. It will soon be time for them to put them away so should be looking ok again soon.

We been having a lot of problems with DS1. Its a fight every morning to get him to go to school. LIfe is never made easy

blossomsmine · 25/09/2007 19:32

Hazelnuts, you have had a nightmare time with the laptop/phone line etc., nice to see you back on line now
Luda, sorry you have a cold aswell, thanks for the sympathy, i am feeling very sorry for myself at the moment.
Jas hope your dd had a great day

I haven't really done anything today, took the day off to get over this cold and just lay about feeling ill....think it did me good though as not as bad tonight as i was this morning
Anyway, will be getting back on top of the house soon, well giving it a go anyway!!

FunkyGlassSlipper · 25/09/2007 20:04

Evening everyone.

Hello tort and HN.

SMS - of course I missed you! Glad you're feeling a bit better. Have a nice evening.

I have done all of my evening Flylady routine as DH is not around so plan to curl up with a cuppa in front of the tv tonight...

Jas · 25/09/2007 20:21

Evening all Thanks everyone for dd2 birthday wishes. She had a lovely time with two of her friends round for a birthday tea.

I'm shattered, and only sticking to my basic routine this week, til I have the energy to catch up.

I've skimmed the thread, and noticed some ex-babies (or maggots as they think of themselves), and read Yaddayahs post as ironing pants
Also nice to have tortoise and Hazelnuts back again

See you all in the morning.
