    Flying AnW'sMum style for me today (dot-to-dot)

    Woohooo :D:j:T

    So far I have a load of washing in for a friend whose WM has broken down, Mum has been and mown the lawn for me (told her I can do it but it's her way of helping :) ) put the DW on and broken up a fence panel!

    I tell you this dot to dot pic is so complicated :rotfl::rotfl:

    Just had a coffee and about to go to morrisons as we are out of fresh stuff, need to remember to pick up a copy of the Sun as well for the next voucher (£5 off a £30 spend over the next 5 weeks). Also going to call in and see DH on the way.

    Miss A finished and posted the card this morning on the way to school :D

    Tooch - oooooh I'd love to know welsh, i'm such a language geek, i just want to know every langauge. I'm planning on teaching myself spanish this summer, and arabic through next year. And irish at some point. But yes, at uni I do German and French.

    Translation wasn't too bad, I'm going to do a quick tidy up in the bedroom so I can clean later, I can't study for more than an hour at a time because my brain goes fuzzy. Might check up on Taye and Dave quickly though :cool:

    Tooch, are numbers different in Irish then?

    I'm going to get off my bum and go and wash up. Twitter is a big distraction from flying! Going to do as much of an HHC as I can manage, anyone want to join in starting now?

    Ahhhh got completely distracted by Taye and Dave, oops. Ah well I'll do some more studying now.
    Tooch - my mum could never work out my maths in any language. :confused: whenever I'm over in ireland i try to learn a few words, one of the words of my tattoo is irish, but i'm always jealous of my friend in dublin, she is completely fluent and talks to her family in irish.

    Hmph just realised I had no breakfast. I think i'm going to have to pop down to the shop, we're nearly out of coffee and need some veg to go with fish for tea.

    See you all this afternoon

    Floors hoovered and mopped.
    Exercised the bingo wings by banging the sofa cushions outside.
    washing up done.

    Just munching an apple whilst the floors dry and then onto the ironing (only doing it as I want to watch Chelsea on catchup)
