You can come here too ... in fact you could do the trip soappie is planning in reverse...

GnB - lots of positive vibes for LO's operation.

All those who are either feeling bad about getting stars or bad about not getting stars... I hope no one feels that they have to leave the thread because of it. We're all here to do what we can, and try to make our lives easier and homes nicer to be in. Those with a competitive streak may be motivated by the stars, other people may not - either way, it shouldn't be a big deal. Sometimes I get lots of stars... sometimes I don't get any, depending on what else comes up and what actually needs doing. Yes, I like getting the stars, but when weeks go by without me getting any, I know it's just because I've got other priorities. It's still great to see other people achieving them, and is particularly satisfying to see new fliers achieve their first L3, then their first multiple stars in a week...

So much for an early night (again)... my presentations have taken ages to upload, so I've been hanging about waiting for them. Once again, a low step count, no flying and not much else! Hopefully tomorrow will be different.

SC is on with chicken carcass in it, and I just need to empty the TD and deal with the contents (it was on because the washing was still on when I left this morning, so it was still wet when I got back...)

Email has now (finally) been sent!

Please all stop being down, it makes me have a complex and I worry I've said something to upset people as I really do suffer with foot in mouth syndrome!

Can we just go back to being pleased at what we have done, celebrating and having a good old moan when life gets in the way of us flying?

I've not had a hope of doing much today but did mop my floor and do 2 washes.
I had one of my closest friends over and chewed the fat and then sat in the freezing autumn like weather watching the cricket for 3 hours but in the company of lovely people. So do I care that the house is a tip? No of course not for life is for living and having a bit of a laugh. Sharing the ups and the downs with each other, being supportive and making the most of each day.

Dusty ^^^ your post.

Hugs Johanne. I have "one of those ex's" too, they're numpties really but as long as LO has a good time, it will give you a lil rest too. Hopefully.

I've just spent the last hour and a half doing the tidy cupboard / 100 thing fling - my gosh, my fling it cupboard for the last 6 months has now become a super organised 6 ft space, no longer does half the contents fall over me when I open the door. Needless to say half the fling it cupboard got flung. About to remake the bed and see how long it takes me to give up pottering and fall into it.

Hugs everyone else. xx
