x posts Hello Luda

Morning all

and Happy birthday TMH

no more school here. We have no plans at all, so I will do a bit of gentle FLYing I think.

Any advice, oh lovely ladies of FLY??

happy birthday to you ! TMH

Hope you have a brilliant day.

Morning ALL

no big plans for today - have cancelled DS1's friend coming for the day as he looks like he could really do with a sleepy day on the sofa

Went late night shopping last night - soo nice without having to battle for parking and elbows round the shops!

Nearly Christmas!!!

Jas great quiz. i don't think you need to change anything from how it is now. the parents can help with the clues a little as necessary. sorry for typos, have large dog on lap!

back to my jobs!

Jas great clues - would you mind if I adapt them for a drinks get-together we're thinking of hosting on New Years Eve?

So far I have made the CD for Tort, that's it...must try harder through the rest of the day!

Back from the market. Got meats and a cabbage and I posted my job app, Great turn around I had it less than 24 hrs from delivery to posting.

Done very little today. I made boiled eggs and soilders for breakfast. Took Ed to nursery and went to the market in the next town. DH has done most of my morning routines and it makes a nice change

Got to go soon. It's Ed's last day at nursery. I will not blub honest

Still not read yesterdays thread Morning routine done. I've spend far too long this morning reading other threads, along with the Secret Santa Thank You Thread.
TMH lovely presents have a fab day.
ludaEnjoy the xmas party.Hope Xmas shop isn't too stressful.
jaswhat a fab idea.
biancagood luck with your list.
simplyNice to see you as always. If I don't see you again before I go off to my parents on Saturday. Wishing you & your family a wonderful Xmas & Happy New Year.
ruby enjoy girls night tonight.Hope dh's colleague is ok.
jenHope ds enjoy is sleepy day.

Hello to yadd, gibberish, tort & anyone else to follow.

Not venturing very far today as its very foggy & frosty white outside. I've finshing laying out all Ellie's clothes etc for our time away. Have to do mine today & pack them tonight.

Just a quick post as I haven't written a card yet this morning! I have done several loads of washing, some hoovering and tidied up the kitchen a fair bit. Oh and placed an order with Hawkshead as they have a sale on.

Merry Christmas to you, too EHM and thanks for your hello. I hope you have a lovely time at your parents' home.

Well, I'm going to have a bagel and get some cards done before 12.50am. See you later!

Morning ladies! Thanks for the thread grouch great title lol

Not got much to do since seem to be actively avoiding the missions this week

Have done some reading with dd3 and dd4 and all four are now writing stories (inc dd1, who was horrified at first but seems to be enjoying it now).

Need to do some shopping later but it is so frozen over out there really don't want to go out...

Thanks everyone for looking at my clues. I'm going to tweak them a bi, and I'll let you knowhow i oes on Sunday.

Of course you can use them too Bianca

I've tidied up the kitchen, fed the children and paid the parking ticket and dps tax bill today.

Get dressed
Clean bathroom
Put away clean clothes
Make my bed
Hang up wet washing
Put next load in machine
Shine sink
Wipe surfaces
Clean hob
Mop floor
Tidy sitting room
Hoover
Clear dining table
Clean fish tank
Tidy kids room

Afternoon all

Happy birthday TMH.

DD broke up yesterday, am really relieved has been a very busy 3 days.
Yesterday's concert was lovely, tried to film it holding a crying DS, i failed, luckly my friend came over and took over so nwo have a reasonable recording, DP was so pleased
Grouchy hope you manage to catch up on some sleep. I'm probably being rather slow but do you mean it's Ed's last day at nursery ever, i thought they couldn't start school mid year any more?
EHM get well soon.

Have done toilet clean and bath & sink with DD's help(not the toilet)
Also done 3 Christmas cut adn glue pictures. Wil be opening new christmas craft pack probably tomorrow am during ds's nap.
Better go DS has finally woken up from his morning nap, has another cold is streaming and not happy, just wants lots of cuddles= not much done whilst he's awake.

By the way do some of you know each other in RL, just wondering?

Have a good day, might get back later.

shannar hope ds is feeling better soon. I am feeling better already thanks. I've taking 'sudafed Non Drowsy Dual Relief tabs'. 2 every 4 hours since 4am. I met bianca in RL & she is lovely. All though I've not met any other fly friends I consider them good friends. They know more about me than my RL friends now anyway

Shannara -some of them have met, but as a result of FLYing I think Some of us play scrabble on Facbook, too

I thought school starting times varied according to area still. Ours starts everyone in reception in September, but the school has a nursery attached which takes rising fours earlier, according to birthdays.

My lis is shorter
Hang up wet washing
Put next load in machine
Shine sink
Mop floor
Tidy sitting room
Hoover
Clear dining table
Clean fish tank
Tidy kids room

The dds are getting bored and staring to fight, so I'll have to find something for them to do.....

EHM
Hi Shanna I've met EHM and Luda, both are lovely. I feel as though I've met Tort even though I haven't as I chat to her more than I do most of my RL friends lol!

I am not getting on very well today
I have made the CD for Tort and posted it. I've posted all my other cards and parcels and written a couple of letters too.
I've made a couple of batches of cookies to add to the ones the kids made on Tues. We'll decorate them after school.

I have done nothing else so need to get on. Feeling a bit over-whelmed today!

Dd and I are off carol singing this evening so I'm looking forward to that
