    Can I join in mid week? I tried flying a year or so ago but I think I tried to do much and then felt like a failure so I would like to give it a go and just start off with the Level One tasks.

    Hopefully I will be able to fit in the Monday/Tuesday tasks before the end of the week too!

    You're welcome to join anytime Bunglegirl. To just aim for Level 1 tasks is a good way to start.

    Good morning everyone :beer: I've put my list there so that I can see what needs doing :o DD has History and French GCSEs today (so probably her worst day exam-wise :o ). She and a friend are coming here for lunch, so I need to be around.

    SarahS - I agree - GOOD!! if those "prefects" parents are devestated. I'm often amazed at how blinkered some parents are to their children's faults :rolleyes:

    Hugs for LL, Michelle, and Toots :A

    Have a greta day, Penny. x

    mammamia2 - hugs. Your stars are awarded
    jjeff - well done on finishing your course and sending you all healing and coping vibes over the teeth
    Well done Lil-me on a good decision about the holiday
    Bunglegirl - welcome - of course you can join mid week - and you're right to just start off with level one tasks.

    Still v. hot again this morning. I thought the weather was supposed to break but it doesn't seem like it will here. I know it sounds bad, but I could do with a rainy day - if only to clear the air of the pollen that seems to lurk everywhere.

    And I'm ahead of myself flying wise already because of what I did yesterday :D

    Happy anniversary Julie :)

    Already warm here, going to organise a new DVD recorder as ours has decided it does not like recording any more and sometimes does not want to play :( Had it repaired once is not worth doing that again.

    Mammmia - hugs to you
    Dusty - it's lovely to hear you're using your nan's jug and sugar bowl...what a lovely way to remember her.
    Jjef - a definite 'yeahhhhhhhhhh' for finishing an OU course. In fact that a double 'yeahhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh'!!!
    Pigpoo - you are always welcome to a yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Hope the bunnies are enjoying their run and showing their appreciation by not gnawing on it!
    Lil_me - great that you're going to take the boys abroad. Make sure you to the passports quickly because they can take a bit longer at this time of year. Still plenty of time to get them though. We always use the postoffice scheme which you pay for but they check over the application to make sure it's ok and it comes back within about two weeks.

    And now I must go for today I must CLEAN! DS to school first, then dog walks, then a client, then CLEAN, then DS to football, then DD to her club, then a visit to Mr T's for three things I need and I will not sucumb to tempation within those evil walls of tasty food!

    Have a lovely day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hugs and healthy happy vibes to LL and tootles xx

    I am dressed.
    I have done the dailies
    I have taken the dog on a couple of turns of the cricket field before it gets too hot.

    I'm now going to finish the list before it gets too hot. It shouldn't take long - I did the understairs cupboard the other week :D
