  • Morning all,

    Up at the crack of dawn again, (well, dawn's not even on the horizon yet!!!) but am now back in my pit as really tired after the last few days - will get up at 7am to get DS up (his alarm is SOOOO loud, wakes half the neighbourhood and it just goes on forever - he still doesn't get up - how do they do that???)

    Have put a wash on and the dishwasher already - towels in this morning as it can go straight to tumble and hopefully (not going to happen) they will be washed and dried when I get up for the next load...

    House is a pit - so LOADS of challenges today I think - little and often - I've not forgotten your wise words greenbee - but really need to get some semblance of order before the weekend so we really can rest for 2 days and maybe, if we can, have a bit of fun for once!!! :p Not managed my MACAW this week as have been leaving house so early and getting home so late - basics have been done then bed I'm afraid, but will try today to sort some 'me' time out...

    OK, see you in a couple of hours... x

    Morning all,

    Morning,
    I've got one that does that as well. Sets it for ridiculous o clock for his paper round and then goes back to sleep:rolleyes: Leaving me to advise him very loudly that it's 7 o clock and he'd better get up. That is of course after I've been up a good hour cos his flippin alarm has woken me up:rolleyes:

    Morning to everyone else. Lady Liberty - hope everything goes well for you today.

    I am off to work in an hour - oh how rare. But...........then I have 3, yes 3 days off and boy do I need them. Batteries and patience levels are running very very low.

    Off to check out the list which from a quick glance looks like a goodun. So hopefully I shall see you all around lunchtime ish for a few HHC and a natter.

    hollyh - I notice your list as as long as mine. I'll do some HHC with you later if you want to.

    Oh and get well soons to all the poorlies.

    Morning....although still pitch black out there. Well, the plan in Sky City is to potter off and find where I put my list (bout half two yesterday I think)and add todays stuff, then work out as much as possible before 9am. then I've a few bits to do around town, then lunch then work. Right, now I've said it i've got to do it.

    Lady Liberty - Good luck for today, hope everything is okay. My mum had ulcerated colitis(sp) and she always had 'fun' with it.

    :grouphug: to all the poorlies, including all stressed out peeps. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

    Morning All

    Been up for a couple of hours - WM is already on it's second wash! We went to see the lights switch on in Hanley last night so by the time we got back I put the kids to bed, made a couple of phone calls and pretty much went to bed myself.

    Hugs Gryfon

    Lady-Liberty - I'll be thinking of you this morning - hope all goes well.

    Hugs to all sickies.

    Polkadot - well done on the weight loss and stopping smoking.

    Better go and get dressed now and do pack-ups. Off to parents' tonight for tea so probably won't get back on until tomorrow morning.

    Have a good day all

    Morning everyone.

    Lady Liberty - I have everything crossed for you....

    Another grey day and the forecast isn't good for the next few days ~sigh~. I'm feeling a little more alert but my sinuses are very full. I want to do some serious flying. There are some little hotspots that have appeared over the last few days that need sorting out.

    Read but not posted as it was too late last night.

    Just wanted to pass on my best wishes to Lady Liberty for today.

    Hi to everyone else, W has woken up with a cough this morning but he is not complaining about it so will send him to school. They each have to take £1.70 for various Pudsey related activities today including a colouring competition.

    Hope you all have a good day xx

    Morning all, feeling abit down this morning(I'm not a moring person).
    Going to my scrapbooking group after i drop DS1 at school, then got a few things to do in the town centre this afternoon. Will try and fit in some flying between that and dropping the kids at my parents for the night.

    Someone give me a kick up the @rse please, been feeling like this all week and just cant seem to shake it off.
