Dinner scoffed and kids had Tizer and icecream for pudding again, they really like it.
Just going to wash up before I take DS2 to football and then hoover whilst DS3 is in the bath and that will be it for thed day.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Well I did as promised and hoovered the living room, including dusting everything with the attachment, so feel a bit less guilty than I did now I've done some real flying. Also told OH off for wearing his muddy shoes in the flat and depositing mud everywhere, and for leaving rubbish in the kitchen sink, and leaving his cereal bowl out on the table in the mornings instead of putting it in the DW. Well I can't have him messing up the little flying I do can I?

good for you! My DH is pretty good overall (has improved a lot since getting marriedI was worried as he'd happily let his mum run around after him, though of course she'd happily do it, which I am sure is a big part of it!) but has a very annoying habit of leaving empty yoghurt pots on the table by the sofa, and leaving mugs there at night too...must work on that one!
Oooh, I've just realised I got a medal todayAnd flippin heck I've been on MSE years!

The treatment went really well trhanks to all your good wishes - this was the first time I didnt have to have my canula re-sited - so a real bonus there - I had a room to myself so was a bit lonely at times but not too bad - my lovely friend who lives near came and visited me 3 times! I dont feel the full effects yet but there is an improvement already. I actually got home yesterday but by the time I got sorted out and made all the obligatory phone calls I was pooped and I had to go back again today for my cancer clinic - and good news there too - I have another 2 months without chemo.
So all your positive vibes really worked - I knew you were thinking of me and I was missing chatting to you all.
I even found myself doing a S&S on my loo and shower room as the cleaner didnt do a very good job!! I was laughing at myself tidying up at bedtime and keeping my bed etc tidy - you would have been proud of me!!! I actually missed doing my housework - OMG how sad is that!!!!!!!
Have managed to do a quick catch up on the happening but please forgive for not mentioning you all by name - i would be here all night!!
Get well wishes for all the flyers with rashes, colds, bad backs, itchs and bugs - I will mention our esteemed leader - hope you feel better soon PIGPEN.
Well done on those finishing essays, case studies etc
Welcome to all the newbies - especially our male flyer - hope we dont put you off too much with our banter!!!
Loads of you have been achieving great amounts of flying and I am soooooooo jealous!!!!
Hugs to those of you with poorly pets, missing cats and dogs, Dads falling off ladders, parents generally being a worry and all the kiddlywinks who are not well or not sleeping and giving you a hard time.That includes grown up rugrats too!
Well done to those of you who are working and flying - beats me how you can do both!!!
Hugs to evryone who is finding life a bit tough at the moment - we are all with you.
Hugs to all the teachers braving the classes of delightful children and surviving to tell the tale.
Hope I havent missed anyone
I have missed you all - I think I said that already - But I did. And again thanks for the good wishes.
