  • dusty huge hugs honey - gggrrrhhh at the boys!!! I hope they settle soon - like you said you have had a frought week. Why dont you do something for you before you go to bed - maybe some dolly and a wine? And I am sure your house is certainly not a hovel so dont be stressing it will come right with dusty's plan.
    greenbee what space....what year?????lol
    mudders hugs for you too honey .......getting a bit frustrated not being able to do much?? dont get carried away now - only one glass at a time!!!
    dizabelle nice to see you posting honey - hugs for you and baby DS - hope is better now.
    Galant good to see you dropping in - happy flying this week!
    Eager Elephant why not do a bit of both - half hout watching and half our housework or you could line up things to do while you are watching such as ironing, mending, meal planning etc until you get it under control - I dont know how the recording works but if there is adverts then dont skip them let them run and while they are playing you could run and do something - wash some dishes or put things in DW or WM or TD - make the adverts your challenge time?

    Hugs to you Dusty

    I am off to watch Casualty and then to bed. After 4 hours sleep last night (self inflicted, chatting til 3am the night before!) I need to at least try and get to bed at a reasonable time ifI am to have half a chance of a decent night's sleep.

    Need to do some serious flying this week, so aiming for lots of HHCs.

    Night all xx

    Just looked through my cupboards, and I can't find anything yellow in there. Think I may do as Serena is and buy some daffodils for the windowsill in the kitchen - it'll go nicely with the yellow walls in there and will give me something to look at while I do the washing up AnW'sMum.
    Same here - so daffs for me too methinks...and you will be in my thoughts..all of you (((hugs))) my kitchen is yellow too!

    see where I can do a carboot next week.
    Could you not do a yard/garage sale? Mention the word 'emigrate' and the booters etc will be round like a shot - put cards up in your local supermarkets (for free..)

    (((hugs))) for Dusty and Triker - hope you're better soon.

    I hate Sunday evenings...
    and by the way I don't watch much TV either - work sucks up my evenings...

    mudbath - huge hugs

    Dusty - huge hugs for you too. Anniversaries are difficult - and I always find it's worse in the evening

    I was wondering about JennyBee too .......

  • I have nearly failed miserably!!!

    Keeping it on topic again how do I find the time to fly in the evenings and watch TV?

    Answers on a postcard please

    EE

    Well, you haven't failed miserably, you've tried and that's a start, so don't knock yourself, we all have to start somewhere...

    What about 1/2 hour when you get in, then your treat for doing that is 1/2 hour TV? I try to fit in between doing stuff, then have a break when something is on that I want to watch... small bits here and there will help...

    AnW'sM I'll be wearing something yellow on Thursday, and thinking of you and the nippers. ((((((hugs)))))) to you too.

    Sorry if I've missed something vital. Someone bonk me on the head if I have! ;)

    Lots of love to everyone.

    AnW's Mum haven't got anything yellow to wear hon, so I've uploaded a nice pic of daffodils for my avatar for you. Oh and I am putting the money over first thing tomorrow morning via internet :)

    Pigpen count me in for this week, and I promise faifhfully I will try and stick to it all week..

    Only done half an hour of ironing today I'm afraid, so I have basically written today off as a "metime" day :)

    Off to bed now so I can read one of my library books :)
