    Boddy I will join you at 10.30 need to do a few online things first


    Good morning everyone :D Hope you are all ok. I was born on the 21st of August too and I am possibly the worlds worst horder :o but I am working on it. I still can't part with usable things but working well on the unusable. My life also revolves around lists and writing things down. I have books of lists for everything from to do, to decorate, to buy, to fix, bank accounts, bills, cupboard contents...... see the pattern, oh and lists to tell me which lists are where..........

    I keep cursing you at the mo Triker, I have been resisting a Remoska and trying to avoid the thread, then you go and post about it on here :( I want one :(
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all!

    Woke up at 6, thought 'I'll get up when its light had have a head start on the day' ... and then it was 9.30 :o

    DW on... windows opened, and currently dealing with work emails while trying to find a tree surgeon who will answer the phone :rolleyes:

    I'm planning to alternate work with flying, as I'm very creaky this morning, so need to avoid sitting at my desk for too long at a time (at least, that's the plan)

    Morning everyone, got up this morning to be sick then feel dizzy and then really hot, not the usual for this house as it's always so cold. Not sure what that was about.

    So far this morning got everyone to school, have veg soup on and cleaned out the fridge and left the bins down.

    I'm an Aquarian and love lists, have lists for everything only problem is i never stick to them.:rotfl:

    Hope everyone who's feeling sickly feels better (so many things going about).

    Right i'm away for something to eat and then back to the kitchen.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all,
    Hope you are all well, and if not then hugs to you :)
    Quiet day today, will get on with some knitting, maybe make some teacakes (DH ate the others) and also two baskets of laundry to put away and nappies to set up.
    Take care everyone and happy flying.
