    Morning all
    Have been missing since Monday so
    Hugs :grouphug:and Happy dances:j please help yourselves to which ever applies.

    I managed to trip over nothing (stone cold sober) and have broken a bone in my wrist. So spent several hours in A&E and am now plastered. Well I suppose I have been lucky - first break and plaster in my life, but it did shake me up and I am now going through a steep learning curve (and feeling very sorry for myself).
    Still am now excused all flying!

    Oh, hugs, hugs and more hugs crafty! Hope you're feeling ok. It very quickly stops hurting and just becomes annoying!! What colour have you gone for? Hugs again xx

    First of all BIG HUGS Pollybear ((())) xx

    Mudbath i have read it right, you have broken more fingers??? Hugs hun (()) x

    Well after all that spouting and written enthusiasm yesterday, i got nothing done last night at all, my WIL was here i am sick to death of them.:mad: They come, they sit, they go. The whole hour from me getting in from work to her going neither her nor my BIL spoke to me the only conversation we had was about BIL's sleep apnoea, i mentioned he should inform dvla, is mum was fuming and said he can drive. Great so long as he doesn't drop to sleep and kill someone......:eek: :mad:

    Well the good news is for today, i am on track and all is going smooth.

    Ironing done, nearly finished cleaning downstairs, 2 loads washed and hung out.

    Still to do
    • Vacumming downstair and upstairs
    • Dust tv cabinet and desk
    • Bathroom
    • Swish and swipe Kitchen (going to do in next hhc)
    • Make beds:o
    • Takes 2 oldest boys to nannans for the night (50 minute round trip)
    • Put ironing away
    • [STRIKE]
    • clean leather sofa (going to do in next hhc)
    • [/STRIKE]
    • All of the above should be achievable :rolleyes: as my father is taking little gremlin to the airport so that gives me 3 hours with only dd and she is a star. Also apart from kitchen and sofa the other i can't do until little gremlin wakes up, i have 45 minutes now before i have to go out to take the boys, so next hhc coming up.
    Right lets see if the achievable happens :rotfl: off to start flying literally
    also forgot to add i have to pick my mum up at 8pm from work anothr 45min round trip.....and put fuel in car. Here goes
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    Thanks Mudders. Yes pain first 24 hours was worst. Now just low level ache and wish fingers would get back to normal (but they are coming slowly) Will feel better when I have been for next app. on Monday.
    Colour? You mean you had a choice?? I just got plain old-fashioned white.

    Hugs Polly. It's bad for the ones left when it is sudden.

    RIGHT.. ANOTHER 14 THINGS BUNGED ON EBAY.. .. and the capslock is still on.. lol..

    That is 70 things on so far.. I have about another 10 to do but I want food before I fade away... and the chillies in bed ASAP.

    I have stolen DS1's leather jacket and stuck that on.. better out of the house than thrown on his bedroom floor do we think? I am putting his New Rocks on next.. once I have found them!
