    pigpen I hope you wont think I am stepping on your toes here .....

    Being the 'keeper of the stars' I see that we(me included) are slipping back into our previous habits of leaving everything to the end of the week again or until the Easter Holidays. I know a lot of you have VERY busy working lives and find you havent much time for doing a whole list during the week and therefore end up try to catch-up at the weekend. You are depriving yourselves of your relaxation time - please please dont think I am having a go at you! I am just concerned.
    Last week's total of stars has been the lowest ever - now I know that there has been a lot happening for you all this week - both good and bad.
    I hope everyone will try a little harder this week to attempt to get more stars during the week - so more time off at the weekend. If you cant do a whole list then try cross off as many things as you can so that you only spend Saturday catching up.
    I will however be nagging anyone I think is slacking!!!! So be warned!!!
    And I would appreciate if you would all nag me to get as much done while I am able!

    I hope you all have a great week and those at work dont find it too stressful.

    love n hugs

    Just had an email from my dad...

    PETROL DUTY GOES UP 2p/litre ON WEDNESDAY SO FILL UP NOW!!!

    Thought I'd pass the message on :D
    Thanks! I will!

    Frodders can you send me your addy so I can post you stamps and stuff. Isn't Naomi HOuse near Guildford? I guess that if I took the stuff there they would need to get it to Pompey...

    Oh and BTW, I'm in! Thanks Pigpen and Toots for all your hard work. I'm aiming for some serious flying this week and some stars as we have VIP guests coming round on Friday. Just found out the wife is vegetarian. :mad: I've nothing against veggies, but never know what to feed them!

    I've just had a long bath with half a box of epsom salts and some lavendar oil, and I'm very tired, so hopefully it has worked and I'll get to sleep quickly. I'm not looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning, as I start my training plan and have to get out of bed and go for a walk before work. I also have to leave work in time to get to my classes in the evening ... perfectly possible, but I always seem to manage to find a reason to delay until its too late :rolleyes: However, it's only 13 weeks till the walk so I need to get my act together.

    Thanks for the nagging toots... I will try harder, I promise. The first couple of days of the week usually go OK, and then it starts to fall apart!

    Hi all,

    I'm in again, thanks Pigpen and Toots.

    Toots i agree i'm sick of spending all weekend cleaning, and know if i made an effort to get off my backside and do at least 1 HHC after work i would probably only have a little bit to do on the weekend. Feel free to administer kicks in my direction.;)
