    I see everyone's had a busy day... haven't achieved much flying, but HAVE done some work!

    I'm off to the gym shortly, via the garage to put away all the stuff that needs to go into the freezer.

    Toots - don't let yourself get down. You were doing fantastically before Christmas, and I'm sure you'll pick up again soon. We need you to encourage us, and we'll do the same for you. How about putting your own list together with the stuff that you most need to be done? And don't forget you can ask us if you need help.

    Gryfon - glad the dentist sorted you out... we just need to persuade a few more people to go. After all, you and Triker have survived!

    Valli - glad you're getting the hang of your E7. You can do this with your DW and WM too. It's good to hear you learnt something from all that thanking you did!

    My WM ***gloat*** has a built in timer. I used to put the old one on timer though. The reason I never thought of doing the TD is the TD is in the shed.
    Now - could you tell me where my DW is? :rotfl: it's in my dreams! I'm the only member of my family without one:rotfl:
    I asked my handbag what it was doing on the floor a while ago ... I thought it was the cat :rotfl: the bag is brown, the cat's a tabby!

    MIL turned up earlier unannounced with Nephew-IL (11) who was off school sick.... BUT...... thanks to flylady my living room was presentable enough for me not to be embarrassed for once! :D:D :D

    She still found fault with how the place looked but hey ho..... she can never be 100% positive with me.. i think its against her religion or something :rotfl:

    Not flown much but will do later... DD is just asleep on my knee from her 4pm nap.... plan when she wakes is:

    change her bum
    empty TD
    put WM load in TD
    put another WM load on
    Wash last nights dishes
    Put dishes away
    sort something for tea

    Hi everyone.....at long last its the weekend. :j:j:j
    I try to keep up with things but by Tues I'm usually so tired nothing gets done in the house and I give up on trying to keep up with you all.
    I've got a lot to do this weekend so will need your help and support. Must get the house and food situation sorted because next week is so busy at work, I'll hardly even have time to say 'hello' to DH.

    Hugs to anyone who is having a rough time at the moment
