    Morning all

    greenbee - have a good flight and a great week. I am sure given time the travelling will be fine, you'll get into a routine with it. A friend of mine travels all over weekly and he gets loads of reading done!!

    I slept badly last night, partly the curry and a beer i think. I'm hoping I'll be ok tonight, and I probably won't rush into work in the morning! Annoyingly I think I need to check my work outlook diary to check I don't have anything on first thing. So far this morning I've had breakfast, 2 cuppas and watched a casualty from the sky box. Need a quick shower in a bit and then we're going up to the in laws for lunch, but going early so we can clean the car inside and out.

    I do need to get a few bits done today although not a proper list:

    run dyson round the flat
    wipe worktops
    make lunches for tomorrow
    do shopping list and decide when to go!
    make sure work bag is organised
    wm x1
    S&S bathroom
    make doctors appointment (sinuses still hurting) :(

    I'll do my best with that lot so I can start the week with everything passable!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    If I was, I'd be able to afford to PAY someone to do these blooming floorboards

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    3 loads of washing on the line and the sun is deigning to peep out
    2 more floorboards scrubbed
    2/3 of the length of one floorboard has had its first coat of varnish... I can't do much more until DS wakes up and gives me a hand moving the china cabinet back. Then I can put all the china away that's cluttering up the kitchen table, the utility area and the bathroom! Though that said - if I shifted the TV - I could start on that side of the room....
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
