    Not done anything at all since my last HHC, been catching up on Twitter.

    My mum just twittered that she and my Nan parked in the street, went and had coffee, to the chemists and stationers and discovered they had left the keys in the ignition and the engine running! LOL! I think they talk too much and don't pay attention.

    LMAO :rotfl::T

    Can't stop, went to Aldi for my shopping straight after first job, council was here (never got an appointment) waiting for me when I got back to de-mould the bath ceiling, arranged for him to come back tomorrow after 3 (has to be on 24 hrs) brought the shopping in, tried on some new trousers (too small *wails*) put the shopping away, made a brew and a sarnie, scoffed it, supped it and now I'm going back out.

    laters lovelies x :hello:

    (((((((Jo)))))) hope the hairdressers cheers you up.

    Greenbee - thanks for the France info - do you go by channel tunnel and if so how long is the journey the other side?

    We normally fly and hire a car as we tend to go for weekends. However, my cousins get the Eurostar, then TGV to Bordeaux, or drive, depending on where they are coming from and what their plans are. If you're driving you'll need to break the journey (particularly if you have children with you).

    Woke up at 6am... thought about going to the gym, and decided to find a new trashy novel to read :o. Have now finished it, and had breakfast.

    Need to get dressed, do the boring stuff (DW, kitchen S&S), then get on with the downstairs flying. And I MUST go to the gym today and try to build on yesterday's good work... after all, I'm being weighed on Friday :eek: and I didn't lose anything last time (I think I might have put it on this time :o)

    Pigpen - glad you're finding your assignments more interesting then flying ;) We'll forgive you for being distracted!

    Sexymouse - good to hear you haven't taken too much time off to recover - the longer you leave it the harder it is to get back into it

    Ging - I'm afraid we're all [STRIKE]nosy [/STRIKE] caring and sharing ;) here... we like knowing what's going on in everyone's lives and are alwys available to offer opinions/shoulders to cry on etc. You get used to it after a while... :rolleyes:

    rosepink - great to see you've made a positive start to the day. Don't forget to go for your walk - the weather's not great but the fresh air and [STRIKE]sun[/STRIKE]light will do you good!

    Sounds like hugs and get well vibes need to be shared round liberally (although if the poorlies could avoid getting involved in the hugs until they're better it would be appreciated :D)

    afternoon lovely people
    I see the newbies have been forging ahead with their enthusiasm again - it puts me to shame!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    gingernut like polly I thought you were a woman but you confused me several times (thats not difficult:rotfl:) hope we didnt offend you by asking - I admire you for doing the fostering it must be great to make a difference in a child's life like that.
    primula it was in the pm I sent you honey!!! oops too late rosepink sorted you out.
    broke 22 you are meant to be sleeping not flying at 1.20am!!!
    soappie hope you have managed with your eyes and got something to soothe them by now.
    Sharon_1970 (((hugs))) honey I hope you get things resolved soon
    summermoon hugs for you too sweetheart - it will take time to come to terms with such a sad loss.
    mummyyof5 awh bless ...poor Dh ...he's feeling left out/neglected - at least he wants to spend more time with you but its not easy - maybe you can arrange minders and have a night out together - like a date - make a date in the diary and stick to it:confused:
    SS supergirl :hello: take it slowly babes- no good trying to get things back under control all at once - your health is far more important than some dust!!! (pot/kettle/black:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)
    kayjay thats the right way to look at things - it comes around again next week so forget about playing catch up :T
    Jo huge hugs honey - hope the haircut helps and be nice to yourself today - maybe you are a bit anxious about tomorrow too. (((hugs)))
    Funfairprincess hope your cold doesnt get too bad
    pooh hope you are managing to sort out your overspending - its a shock when you see it on paper isnt it.

    frogger2008 great to have you with us - just dive in and get started - forget about yersterdays list - you might have time to catch up later in the week - just get stuck into todays list - see post 1 - I will send you a pm in a mo!
    Hugs to all the poorlies and those feeling down.

    I havent achieved much - 1 x WM - several phone calls and an argument over an ebay sale:mad: - had to wait in for the plumber - couldnt get on the internet until about 1hour ago and now I am off to collect my meds - only 2 buses to get there:rolleyes: - I am hoping the [STRIKE]fresh[/STRIKE] cold air will make me feel better!!
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
