    Morning everyone!

    Sorry I haven't been about for a bit - this week has been really busy with work (full days every day apart from Monday which was just the morning, but the window sellers stayed so late) and I went to the gym yesterday before going to dinner at my M&D's. Good job, cos we had chinese takeaway.

    Haven't done a lot in terms of flying, but most of the washing up has been done by OH and he did some of the laundry yesterday on his day off. I bought him a reward for doing all of his lists (a DAB radio alarm clock from Mr A as his radio alarm clock is so old, and is a long wave radio that only picks up french and fishing channels etc, that it needed replacing).

    I'm off to the gym for 11am as I have my vi1 healthcheck then, so I'd better get dressed into gym stuff and pack up my gym bag. Will try and do my meal plans for the week before I go, so that I know what I need to buy at the market fruit and veg wise.

    Big hugs to all who need or want them, particularly to Jo and to Rosepink, who I think are both doing fabulously well with their respective challenges.

    Well done to those who have managed to lose weight or to give up smoking too (apologies, I can't remember who this was).

    Toots don't overdo it - it sounds like you could do with a bit of a rest even if you don't feel like it.

    Better get going, cos I've only got 20 mins til I have to go.

    See you all later,

    Congratulations Flower!! Hopefully that will make life a lot easier.

    I've had breakfast, loaded the DW and am about to set it off and load the WM. I then need to mow the lawn (it may take several goes!) and cut the hedges at the back before I hang the washing out. And then... I'll empty the car boot stuff out of the garage and repack the boxes. Need to get petrol too... then make a start on my lists!

    Grocery list
    Grocery shop
    Washed ALL floors
    Moved shoe container in entry out to the garage

    HHI - its ALL finished :)
    Took DS4 shopping for a new shirt for the funeral
    Walked dogs
    Got invoices into envelopes ready to post tomorrow

There are 3 chipped and he never complianed until he cried one night and said I cant take the pain anymore mum:( so off to the dentist who said that it was definetly caused by severe trauma......and he has xrays of what ds2s teeth were like 4 weeks proir to the incident!!!!

    Morning all

    I've done my football run (DS1 reffing) been to Lidl, bakers, MrM and got petrol. Just having a doughnut and cuppa as a later breakfast. DH at the other football (DS3) and been asked to pick up a loaf on the way home as the one we like (poopy seed bloomer) was still in the oven.

    Shopping all put away, boys helped. Plan is to get washing on the line, update my list and spend the afternoon gardening, sitting in the garden maybe with the lappy looking for holidays.

    Rose - I went to a football venue I've never visited before and passed one your your kingdoms.

    Jo - go you!

    Flower - great news on the cheque.

    Did some interest rate comparisions last night and need to open a new account for each of the kids to put their inheritance from Nan is as there account rates have gone down again. I've emailed for application forms and can hopefully then open the accounts next time I taken DS2 to the ortho as I have to drive past the branch - small town building society.
