    I've done half of the ironing, the rest can wait until tomorrow.

    Just need to set the WM and then I'm off to bed, will do a list update tomorrow.

    Sleeptight my smurfs, go rest your little blue industrious hands so you will be all refreshed tomorrow for a busy day of flying smurf style

  • Hi all

    Just a quick catch up...no real flying done today as I left the house at 8am and only got back at 6.45pm...then went to fat club and finally sat down for tea at 8.45pm! Busy day - LO was a star...he's been really good all day but the final straw for him was the 40 minute journey back from picking the new car up...we had to queue through the town and he basically screamed the whole way back!

    ooh..I have done some flying! I decluttered my excess eyebrow hair! :)

    oh...and by the way, I lost 1.5lb at fat club and...._party_GOT AN A* IN MY ITALIAN GCSE!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!_party_:j A 4 month old baby and sleep deprivation isn't enough to stop me at exam time!! :)

    If you're feeling blue it's probably the smurf thing that's catching ;)

    Have decluttered my work stuff (laptop, docking station, router, token, credit card, chargers etc) into a box. I've told them that if they want the rest (monitor, printer, keyboard, mouse, phone, headset) they can collect it, as it's too heavy for me to carry and it was delivered originally. I've prioritised the return of stuff that has company data on it :D.

    ETA - congratulations Jennybee!!!

    Toots please can I have my 4th star! I only have 3:o I have completed all 4 days so far and am determined to get all 5 stars for the first time ever! Shouldn't really matter i know - I'm a sad sack! lol!

    Tomorrow will be our spare room and the conservatory. So I'm going to be doing 2 rooms for the price of 1. Then we are off to costco to shop for the barbecue.

    I finally got my prescription request in - only have 6 tablets left and it won't be ready until Tuesday - so cutting it fine! ooops! I find it so hard to do things for myself, for others no prob :confused: I have however made more plum jam (another 9 jars) and am running out of space despite giving some away!

    Congrats /(((hugs))) to those that need them

    God bless and good night

    Fridays list is up

    Oooh oooh oooh I was right! I have done everything on Friday's list! Oooh, does that mean I'm the first person to demand a STAR PLEASE! for Friday this week? First time I've ever been first (and quite probably the last LOL)

    So I do get four stars this week after all :-D

    Edit - aw, I see bonsibabe beat me to it. Ah well...
