    Morning ladies...just a quickie as I haven't managed to catch up (up to page 20 on 40posts per page and this will be page 28ish I think :eek::eek: )

    Anyways, flying is almost none existent in this house ATM but I'd appreciate positive vibes sent my way today - I'm being observed for the first time this afternoon and I've hardly done any paperwork. :o:o Guess how I'm spending break & lunch ? :o:o

    Best shift myself as I need to get sorted and off to school, hopefully before the bell again - my MACAW is basically working as I've managed to be in class before the kids every day this week and DD was in early on Monday as well :j:j :wave:

  • Morning all

    Still weary but I'm up!

    Hope that our poorlies are on the mend!

    Valli - I forgot to say condolences, but did I read correctly it was Gobi, not Sahara? Big hugs though! x

    OJK - hope your crew is improving

    SS - Loved the joke. It reminded me of an occasion my DB told me of. Always one for a proper handkerchief, he was sitting listening to the sermon when he needed to blow his nose. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out........ a pair of my SIL's knickers!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:The cornet section collapsed, the CO didn't know what was happening and when SIL found out she was mortified! :o DB's excuse - "I didn't put my ironing away!"
    ATTENTION ALL..........

    Can we have a list of Toots good points please????????

    1. She is a wonderful friend (Pigpen)
    2. She is wonderfully encouraging (FrankieM)
    3. She is very supportive of everyone (A&W's Mum)
    4. She is a CONFIDENT meeter and greeter on the thread :)(A&W's Mum)
    5. She is great at setting her mind to tasks and getting them done (Just think of that kitchen table and that bedroom!!!) (Flower)
    6. She brightens everyone's day and no-one can be miserable for long when she's around! (Juliejim)

    Here's mine:

    7. She's sensitive to other people's feelings.
    8. She doesn't do self pity (given what she's putting up with, that's amazing!)
    9. She's considerate and thoughtful.
    10. She's interested in other people's opinions.

    Morning Toots I hope this list is making you feel better!! ((hugs))

    11. She is wonderfully kind.
    12. She lifts our spirits (even when she's having a hard time herself)!

    So far:
    Dogs, cats, fish (and humans) fed. Not puppies - they're off to vets!
    SS Kitchen
    DW emptied
    Washing hung up
    WM loaded
    CP loaded

    To do when I get back:

    SS Bathroom/Shower room
    Make bed
    Vacuum (might be in fits and starts, but needs doing! :o)

    BTW - anyone had pleurisy? I'm fed up of feeling shattered. :confused:

    Off to vets - see you later. x

    Blergh...who invented mornings? Although I suppose I'm not helped by not sleeping till about 2am :rolleyes:

    I think my plan today is to place some boxes I have in the middle of the kitchen floor, one for the study, one for the lounge etc...then put everything that's in the kitchen but shouldn't be in those boxes! Then take each box to whatever room it's supposed to be in and empty it. I think the main problem I have with cleaning is getting around the clutter in the first place :o

    I'll also do the usually DW, WM, folding clothes, sorting baby out etc.

    BTW sorry I don't do long lists replying to people, I can never remember who's done what and then I get confused :o
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    My twopennorth...

    13. She has a wicked sense of humour.
    14. She STILL visits her mum despite...so she's a loving and dutiful daughter.

    ETA and she's a big softy and will be teary when she reads these from her Flyfriends...
