    Morning all,

    Hugs to FFP.

    I've got a big case of CBA this morning :rolleyes:. I've spent ages reading my book and not a lot else. I've fed the bunnys and let them out, watered the plants, fed us and made the beds.

    I need to go food shopping and Ds1 wants to sell his PS2 to Blockbusters. I suppose i'd better get showered and sorted.

    Morning folks

    All lists done, and that took some effort today, washing from last night and this morning on the line and it is lovely and sunny here.

    The neighbour who lives at the end of the garden is busy banging and moving my fence panel, so I am off to [STRIKE]supervise[/STRIKE] ask nicely what he is up to, before he breaks it.

    Some what concerned with the going ons on the freecycle net work, seems the UK groups are splitting away from the USA............

    Hugs to those that need then.

    I will be back to read and catch up later, but all that banging, is worring me....

    Hi all,
    No flying for me other than laundry. Back pain is at the stage of making me tired so will play with DS/knit for most of day. DH off fishing.
    Yucky here so washing will be hung indoors.
    Sorry to hear your sad news FFP, these things are horrible!
    You feeling better Jinky and DH ?
    Hope you feel better soon Rosepink.
    Hugs to all else who need.

    Morning all

    DH got up to meet the handyman who was coming to look at the kitchen light this morning. As predicted it can't be repaired so now has to give landlady a quote and get her agreement etc etc before we get a new one! Tempting to just pay him ourselves to do it!

    Wedding is at 1pm so need to get ready at some point, not going super smart as we're only invited to service and evening and will wear black trousers and a top tonight. We're then taking B&SiL out for lunch (unless we have to pick up FiL) and just having a chilled aft. I'm going to do a bit of flying this morning, let's find a list...

    I'm not well, I don't do not being well:o

    Good morning everyone :beer: Quiet weekend for me :j DH is taking DS 14yo to the Lakes to climb Scafel Pike tomorrow :T DH reckons the walk will take them about 7 hours, then he's driving them home which will take about 3 hours - he'll be shattered :o DD is off to a big Scout Camp, just down the road. I need to pick her up tomorrow morning to do her brother's paper round, but apart from that - weekend to myself :T:T:T:T:T

    Hugs to you all :A
