    Good Afternoon

    Well a wet & windy one anyway, it's horrid here :rolleyes:

    Toots have thinking about you all morning, that's good you are going to have a couple of weeks space to organise yourself. And I bow down to your words of wisdom :rotfl: after my flying efforts of yesterday, I am as you put it *pooped* :p

    So today has consisted of paperwork clearing & not a lot else, one day I'll get a star again :D

    Love & hugs to all

    xx

    Just caught up with the thread and read my own post and panicked "oh no, I'm supposed to be cooking dinner" before I remembered I had put it on and it is cooking.


    I worry myself sometimes.....
    Don't worry, I got home and was surprised because I'd forgotten that I'd washed up this morning! :rolleyes:
    Had a good time on my course - it was about Equality and Diversity and there were actors acting out scenes and we could ask them questions and offer them advice. One was a man who was being racially bullied by his boss, and one was a woman who was being sexually harrased at work. With the woman, she redid the scene again using our advice and we could stop them and tell her what to say next. It was good. Really interesting.
    And the sun is out so I had a nice drive home.:T

    Am absolutely worn out now! DH went to the Thursday market and got some steak for dinner! Yum. Then I will either go out with him, or stay in. Not sure yet. Am very tired so might stay in

    Have hung out two loads of washing since I got home and put away dry washing.

    Evening everyone

    Dusty - the lunch was very nice and the view was indoors and close up. Warmed the cockles of an old woman's heart :D. They are all so FIT! ;) And polite! They really are officers and gentlemen.
    Greenbee - thankyou for your sympathy over the users. I have just one tomorrow, but he's the most finicky and pernickety of the lot!
    SavvyMummy - happy birthday to your DS
    83rachel - welcome
    Sarash - more good news about your children. That's terrific.
    Mummyto2 - hope your new little one makes as trouble free an entrance as possible soon.

    Am tired again this evening. Worked v. hard today and I have to be up extra early tomorrow to get in early to do the final touches. I have done hardly any flying this week. I think tonight, though, I'll try and tackle the kitchen properly. Cauliflower cheese and oven baked potato pieces in olive oil for dinner I think.

    Sounds like a lovely lunch soappie - but was the food any good???
    and how is darling BB - I hope her wound is healing nicely now. Good luck with the'user' tomorrow - I am very suprised he hasnt succumbed(sp?) to your charm and efficency - maybe you should show him your aggressive side (like the one you used on the garage!)

    rosepink glad you had a good day - your course sounded interesting.

    have shredded a whole binful of stuff so thats more to go tomorrow
    have deleted 16 more emails so thats something to cross of the lists
    have been on to my freecycle - need to sort thro 414 emails!!!
