    Ever have one of those days where you just want to hit life's rewind button and start again from when the alarm goes off? :mad::mad: I've overslept by an hour (so no flying or exercises done today), discovered I didn't have an ironed top for today (and its the KS2 show....wonder if I can get out of it? :o ) so will be donning a jumper again, I've done something to my ankle but no idea what so thats in a tubie-grip thing, then I nearly burnt my toast, sliced my buns wrong so I can't use them for school (will result in cheese spread everywhere or them falling apart) so I made "normal" sandwiches and then dropped some of them on the floor :mad: I just want to go back to bed and start over :o

    Anyways, I best get a move on. I've had toast but I'm still hungry :o Off to grab something else and will attempt to do level 1 later when I wash up :wave:

  • Good morning all.
    Home sick again today. I have got conjunctivitis too now. Excessive washing of hands and bedding didn’t prevent it. Don’t feel so guilty for not going in yesterday and today now as there would have been many more families with conjunctivitis for Christmas.
    Will get stuck in on the kitchen today. Will do excessive wiping of all door knobs and light switches with Milton solution as extras today.

    Any body have any ideas for preventing re-infection?

    Do I just keep applying drops until we are all clear? I have put out a bowl of Milton solution for after washing hands and paper towels for drying. Must wash and TD towels today.
    Happy flying all

    :wave: All vaguely alright in the Gryfon household. DS is still home from school, although he has one of his Christmas concerts this afternoon which is annoying. Child I look after in the mornings has brought round a huge shopping bag filled with goodies (sweets and chocolates so goodbye waistline!)! So now I need to do a panic buy of something for them but I have no idea what to get.

    AF has started as well :( No wonder I wanted to eat everything in site and had so many ups and downs. Have one of those feelings that when it gets to late this afternoon everything will be alright! Until then it's just stress after stress.

    Shall try and do some Flying today, not sure how far I'll get though. Just lost enthusiasm, sure that always coincides with the time of the month :rolleyes:
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
