Evening all
Funny colours on here for me too, prob just a glitch with the site!
Home from work and dinner (chilli) is cooking nicely, bulked out with lots of veg! DH has washed up the stuff I used to prep dinner so that helps.
No flying for me tonight but lots tomorrow hopefully. Much better day at work today, presentation (which was this morning) went well so am pleased about that. Feel on a more even keel (for now!) Also had some replies from people who i'd emailed asking for advice about what I want to do for my future career (freelance facilitation & coaching) which was helpful, so will start looking at courses etc.
Off to catch up with the threadMum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -

Thanks for that thread Valli - it looks like the site hasn't loaded properly or someone has stuck a very bright light on my computer!
Toots - I know yankee are expensive, I always look for deals or when my sister is visiting!

Ohhh, now I'm very jealous - can she pop down Essex way when she's finished at yours?Seriously, good on you Pigpen - someone cleaning solid for two hours is worth at least 4 hours of our time with the interruptions we usually have - kids, telephones, and ermmm, what's those metal things called that I talk on all the time, ummmm, oh yea, computers and internet...:o and like you say, it gives you time to catch up on stuff - good on ya!

You too, Toots. You have done well. BTW what were those jobs you have done...bank books must've been one?Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

I don't want to catch up on other stuff I want to make progress with the junk.. I always feel like I have to be tidying it instead I'll be able to fling it!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
