    Morning flypeople

    Not done much this morning, not feeling 100% overload of too many medium sized issued I think.

    I'm going to do my dalies and then see how I feel. Recycling people have emptied my garden waste so I was going to do a bit of gardening but I'm not so sure now.

    Twinmummy - hope you enjoyed the Galleria - it is only a few miles from me and I often go there.

    Philb - Dont do too much - you are doing what I did....trying to fit too much in all at once, and then beating yourself up when you cant do it. Ive taken a step back and amended my lists to sort out the bits that are important to me. Im only attempting to do Level One of Pigpen's lists for the time being and trying to do some of the other things on my own list and if I dont get a star - so be it!! But I can look around and see the difference in what ive done! Big hug for you and your wife......xx

    Mozzy - Ironing........:mad: .......the bane of my life (I always thought it was my ex - turned out to be the ironing :rotfl: ) Ive tried to include it in my chores and I just never get round to it. My problem is that I always do everything (and anything) else first and then tragically run out of time for the ironing, and add HHI to the next days list! Never works......ironing pile creeping up more and more. :eek:

    HUGS to EVERYONE - just because I think everyone needs one.

    Pigpen - I like having the list early!! Thanks! It means I can start 'tomorrow' the night before so I do feel like Im chasing my tail when I get home from work!! Ta! :D

    Dusty - Take it easy....dont puch yourself too much.

    Freedom2b - sorry I have missed something in the thread obviously; why are you selling your house if you dont want to move? Is it a 'needs-must' situation? Sorry to ask a personal question, Im a very curious person!? Tell me to go away and mind my own business if you like! :rotfl:


    Will hopefully catch up on flying tonight.....

    Good luck to all you peeps flying today xx

    Jo, Yes it`s a needs must situation and a very sad one. Finally moved to a house I loved around seven years ago. When everything was fine. Business collapse and financial hardship forces sale:o
    The Grass may look greener :o but it`s always going to take just as much mowing ;)
