    Thank you Pigpen. I seem to have made a good start in flying with last weeks lists. I've been good and ticked off a few items each day and people are beginning to notice a difference. I'm actually looking forward to making more positive moves next week. Even my OH and DS did a few flying chores whilst I was at work yesterday. Onwards and upwards........

    Thanks everyone. Happy Flying.......................
