    Welcome Cally and Lazarus (I’m dying to know who told you about the thread!) and Blueberry Pie

    Frodders and Flower, I loved the race too, am really pleased for Jenson. That rain was something else!

    Hi Denise, I’d wondered where you were! Hope you are ok!

    Hi Casleigh, I’m so glad to see you back, I was worried about you. Hope your neck is ok now. I know what you mean about the floors, I’ve not done much flying the last few weeks and I need to get back on top of things, it’s a mess in here!

    Personal list:
    Wash up –
    Write cards/letters to friends
    Sort out working tax credits


    Magnificent Monday - master bedroom and landing
    Level One
    Strip and wash the bedding
    clear the floordrobe
    Level Two
    Vacuum the floors.. and the mattress before remaking the bed
    Level Three
    Dust and deweb
    Wipe any grotty paintwork and furniture
    Extras
    1. Binbag dance
    2. HHI
    3. 15 minutes filing
    4. fill a binbag of old winter stuff for charity shop!!
    My plan of attack is to fly during the first 15 minutes of every hour. This hour I'm late so will be starting at 9:15. Feel free to join me if you can.
    I may not be able to post every hour as the internet connection is playing up, can't blame the modem this time it's bloomin Tisc*li. I might manage more flying than that, will see how I feel! Also, I will be going for my walk at some stage, not sure when yet. Probably at 12:30ish.
    Should be going to see a friend but don't know if it will be this evening or in the day.
    Have a great day everyone, happy flying! And enjoy the sun!

    Morning all

    One load of washing on the line, hope it dries before the predicted rain. Nice and blowy at the moment though.

    I have started on the kitchen but my sciatica is really playing up today so I'm waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in before I do any more.

    I've vacuumed through downstairs. Emptied all the indoor bins ready for bin day tomorrow. Washed up and cleared away. Wiped down the worktops and the small appliances. I thought I had two cupboards left to sort but turns out I can't count. There were four, I've done two now and will try the other two when I can get down on my knees/stand up on a chair.

    Going to read the paper now and then have another go. Back later :)

    Cally - most of us thank the posts as a way of marking how far we've read (as well as appreciating what people say!). It's up to you, there's no hard and fast rule.

    Welcome btw :)

    Oooooo almost forgot to tell you all, DH's number came up on the church lottery again (£10 win) today. I am sure it was his way of sending pocket money to Miss A & W for the trip up to York :D When I told them they both whooped 'thanks Daddy'

    And on that happy note I bid you all goodnight xx

    Way to go AnWsDaddy!

    Welcome newbies - especially those with Valliland conections ( Cally! Lazarus? I'm curious)...and welcome back DeniseNZ you were missed...

    Since DS is at school (revision session - evil mum MADE him go - he has an early GCSE to take) I will take advantage of the fact that the living room is empty and do that!

    Valli wanders off to see if any HHCs are scheduled but if not HHC at 10 anyone? (I can use my new kitchen timer...lol)

    ETAwashing on line inc socks and pants on one of those multiple hanger thingys. With MISMATCHED PEGS (blue and pink LOL)

    Incidentally I have only spotted 2 changes - number of thanks made by me now recorded and we can have friends (thanks
    Toots)
    Is that IT?

    HHC off I go...
