    ooo going well

    Big announcement
    I have cleaned the kitchen window!:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
    glass and frame and sill... it's a BIG job because it's a BIG window - must be 6feet long or thereabouts and as it's over the sink it requires up ladder do a third down ladder move ladder...you get the idea. Add to that I'm sort of scared of heights..(frightened of falling)...
    kitchen being level three'd to within an inch of its life - eyes hurt from gleaming tiles :rotfl:
    sheets blowing in the sunshine...I am a domestic goddess...
    phone calls made too Toots...
    full update when completed list will be posted...

    ETA have a great birthday and a good hol Dusty!

  • Studying done - still no luck with connecting to my OU lyceum software but there may be light on the horizon - someone on one of the forums said that they changed there firewall/anti-virus protection from the V1rg1n one to anther one from the web and it freed up the voice server - I live in hope that I can fix it this weekend - otherwise the computer will be toast

    Happy flying this afternoon girlies - must get out of my jammies and into uniform - last day at work today then I'm off for 11 out of the next 12 days - I want some stars on Toots star chart too :D and I stand a chance if I'm off and flying.

    I can't give her ibuprofen because she hasn't had anything to eat, and says her throat is so sore that she can't swallow...

    Serena, this might help - when my little one was very poorly ages ago - the hospital told me that if he couldnt eat to take the ibuprofen, then to give him a glass of milk. it would be enough to allow me to give him some medicine.

    Hope she is better soon xx
