    PPI Party Pooper
    My flying is now concentrated - just found out DS's op will be this Friday

    My brain is like a sieve, what is his op for again?

    Have finished off the drawers in LO's room and its looking lovely and tidy. Will fill the holes and sand down everything tomorrow. Thanks for the tip about quick drying gloss SS, will source some i think.

    Rach - How is DH doing today?

    Evening my lovelies, I've before work done:

    sort out bank paperwork - see challenges
    s/s kitchen
    bleached
    cleaned sc pot that had been soaking all night
    wm on
    washing hung out
    ironed 5 things
    aired and made bed
    showered for work

    And I've done a couple of challenges - where's it going?? I can't keep up with stars as work full time and have serious case of CBA when I get home, but cos I post challenges, I feel I'm obliged/made/need to do them. The lists I can ignore, cos I haven't written it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Mt fic=ve challenges are in one fell swoop after learning I don't need 5 years of bank statements/utilty bills etc. So her it is:

    1. [STRIKE]sort out h£lifax statements and shred rest[/STRIKE]
    2.[STRIKE] sort out n"tw£st staements and shred rest[/STRIKE]
    3.[STRIKE] sort all(ance Le£cester statements and shred rest[/STRIKE]
    4. sort gas/leccy bills, shred rest
    5. sort phone/mobile bills, shred rest

    Hugs to all, haven't caught up yet xxx

    Well done hermoine - you have mastered the list thing - and you are doing very well with the flying:T:T
    AnW'sMum didnt see it in time - but I hope Miss A had a dry day to go out and Mr W enjoyed his teddy bear's picnic. Thanks for going to the PO - I will be watching for that!!! WTG with the kitchen foor - thats what I need to do:rolleyes:
    SS supergirl hellowave.gif- you will need more rest you are not as young as you werescared0016.gif:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    dusty honey I hoped you have returned the black dog from whence it came - with a bone to keep it happy for the next 6 months or so! Hope woody gets on ok at the vet. WTG the drain men - bl**dy typical though that they knew about the problem - why cant they all communicate with each other - that sort of thing does my head in!!!! well maybe this time it will be fixed properly.
    neveah :T:T I am so pleased for you that MIL noticed and thought the house was looking nice - that is praise indeed - just you remember that all of you that are MILs:rotfl::rotfl:
    G&B WTG that woman - I know you will do it - i remember last year you took it in your head to do some painting and it was done in no time at all - I think its a brilliant idea and as you say it will let you get stuck into Uni in the new term feeling everying is under control.:T:T:T
    methekids - hope you feel better soon - sleeping in the chair is NOT good for you. Are you really well enough to be flying let alone going to work? The weekly challenge will not be continously set every week as we dont want people get fed up with it and or get complacent - but it will be back - you can trust pigpen to come up with something to get your teeth into.
    Aunty Crafty HSstars.gif thats excellent - oh ye of little faith - you must have been writing good answers despite what you thought at the time:rolleyes:
    rosieben is that always the way - hope you get your new MW very soon
    poorbutrich hope you feel better soon
    Greenbee there are a few Scottish ladies - but being holiday time they might not all be around - would be good if you make it - SSL, G&B, jjef , jinky, elf (dont know where she is though) Funfairprincess are all 'central' and then there is Aunty Crafty, orkney star, me - you will see big changes in Edinburgh - keep us posted if you are going to be up.
    Jo thats good to know you are back safe - have an early night and you will feel better tomorrow.
    Beki thats good to catch up on outstanding things - I bet OH will be glad to get back to work:rotfl:
    Natty huge (((hugs))) get that bed made up and get in it and stay in it until you feel better - he might then realise that this is different - and maybe a call to your GP wouldnt go amiss
    ladyL Oi!!!! stop being a bad flylady and overdoing things - you promised me you wouldnt:rotfl: 10 mins max or I will take your tools away!
    helen jelly well done with DD - thats the way to takle it and the more she is good maybe she will realise its easier than having rows and flair ups ((hugs))
    SGT hellowave.gif have you been working on your tan - very carefully I hope!!!!
    MOAM hope you manage to get everything done that you want by then - and good healing vibes to DS for the op - hope all goes to plan. (((hugs)))


    hugs and loads of unwinding/ relaxation vibes to the teachers who are now on hols and 'hang on in there' vibes to the rest - you dont have long to go.
    hugs to all the Mums who are already wanting to murder their little precious bundles!
    hugs to all the poorlies - hope its nothing serious and you all get better soon.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    I washed the dishes, put some clothes away, cooked tea and then DH arrived home - he'd decided he was coming home as the bed in the wagon he's in is uncomfortable:rolleyes: so he's got a 2.30 start in the morning!

    Oh dear...you dont half have some early starts in your house!

    Right, have tidied up the kitchen, popped left over curry in the freezer, all properly labelled ;)

    Will finish off my menu planning and watch Special Victims Unit at 9 :D
