    Funny you posting about throws, Pink I am beginning to think DD has Raynaud's Disease (poor circulation in hands and feet hence they are cold) her feet are like blocks of ice - she has had them on a hot water bottle tonight and taken one up to bed. My mum has it and like mum she is left handed so I know some genes have filtered down. Mind you, despite being told ALL WEEK today is the first day she has put a jumper on over her t shirt! So I was thinking of getting one - I could use it when I am on here, too, come to think...

    Morning everyone :hello:

    Still hopelessly behind with the thread and I doubt that I'll catch up now.

    I actually had a decent nights sleep last night, so am feeling all refreshed and raring to go at the moment. It might last all day........you never know;)

    A bit of normality has been restored. DS came home yesterday and DD is coming back this afternoon:j I have missed her this week.
    My house is in need of some desperate TLC. No flying done at all this week:eek: So I'm gonna pop up the weeks list shortly, and see how far I get today. Anyone else as behind as me? Or have you all been good fly ladies this week?

    Back in a bit
