    Crafty and froddington - we can have our own club!! Mind you - I don't think anyone would really want to join would they!:rotfl:


    It's not a club I'd recommend and I'm not planning on renewing my membership in the future - don't need any more metal in me!!!

    Still it's nice to know other people understand and it is a good excuse for not doing too much flying :rotfl:

    I can't sleep. My brain just won't switch off. This isn't fair as I've just heard the milkman go past. If I'm going to be up this late on a Friday night I'd rather it was because I was out on the town, not just suffering from insomnia.

    Morning all
    :wave: Hello new people

    Crafty
    – hope your wrist heals quickly
    Pollybear
    - hugs on the loss of your uncle
    Dusty
    – love the model head and hope you have a lovely holiday
    Valli
    – hugs about your gerbil
    Nikki - sorry you're having trouble sleeping I think you said earlier it's because you've things on your mind. Have you talked to anyone about the things? Sometimes it helps

    I have a serious headache this morning. I think I must have slept funny because my neck is all stiff too. I've had to pop a painkiller which is most unlike me! It's easing up a bit now though,

    Well, after a marathon effort yesterday at work I can proudly announce I now have Monday, Tuesday Wednesday off next week !Hurrah! Don't quite know what I'll do with the time but I'm sure it will be filled somehow. I might even shock my accountant and get my company books sorted early for once (he doesn't normally get them until after Christmas - my y/e is 31st May). If the weather is nice I may go out and about with the camera.

    Talking of weather, it's looking quite nice out there at the moment but the forecast is pants so I'm not sure whether to strip my bed and wash the sheets or not. Dilemma!
    As longs a it's dry for a bit this afternoon about 14:45. The Red Arrows are parked up at the airport down the road from me and I'm taking an acquaintance to the flying club to watch them take off then (it's always a thrilling experience!). It would be nice if we could stay dry at the same time!

    Right, another cup of tea is in order I think and then I ought to do something with the day.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
