  • Tomorrow one of my BFs is coming over for an ebay lesson so I should get a couple more bits listed whilst demonstrating.

    BFs - How many have you got I thought! - I think you might mean Best Friends and not Boy Friends

    Still catching up on the posts. Not much flying as I have a cold. Tuna Pasta Bake is in the oven though, and am trying to get DS2 down for his nap.
    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:

    Have a great day flying, ladies!

    Just an access course.. nothing exciting but it looks like the nearest uni to home I can study physiotherapy/medicine is Leeds so we may well be moving up the road!!! They only do nursing at uni here and I'd rather chew off my own fair limbs than study nursing..

    I keep looking at that there list and I think I might want to cry!!!!!!!!!!
