    Hello all

    Very little flying to report, except laundry, washing up and S&Sing. Most of the rest will have to wait til the weekend.

    I'm pooped, having one of my 'I hate commuting' weeks, sure it will pass (to some extent!!) it's always worse after a holiday. My meeting tonight has been cancelled though which is great as I need a lazy eve. Plan is to watch some casualty off the sky+ box and have a bath and an earlyish night.

    sorry I haven't caught up. Special hugs to toots and L_L and vibes to soappie's DS &DiL.

    Thanks for the welcomes.

    That's my list done for today, woohoo :rotfl:
    Just need to wash the floor but will do this in the morning while DD is at nursery, much quicker when she isn't 'helping' :rolleyes:.

    Will crack on with the ironing now and may also clear out one more kitchen cupboard if I can find any more energy as it's calling me !!

    Evening all

    Home for the evening after the footie run/getting petrol/popping to MR T and I'm bushed.

    WM is on
    DW is on

    Going to get the sweatshirt to label and sit and watch a bit of tv before calling it a day.

    PenPen 10,00 wonderful helpful and kind posts - way to go (about 6000 of mine are trash)

    LL hugs and love for you

    G&B how are your LO and your Dad?

    Mudders more healing vibes for your DS

    Sexy
    - hope this week is going better at school

    Soappie - early completion vibes coming your way

    Vali - I helped DS3 with his maths homework earlier (Yr3) since when did teaching subtraction need to be so complex? We had to use the counting up and compensation methods!

    Well......I've not even started on the dining room (which isn't too bad anyway, but even so.......) because my kitchen has been taking me far far longer than I expected :o

    But it does look a whole lot better for what I have done, so I am pleased with that - if I can keep it this tidy all week I will consider it a huge success :T

    Congrats ali, and I hope that all those who are feeling yucky for one reason for another soon feel brighter x

  • Evening all :wave:

    Commiserations hollyh
    Congratulations Alibobsy :j

    Hugs to all the poorlies including the poor puddy tats :A

    Just finished my 2 long days at work, so no flying done. I will run around like a daftie tomorrow morning before my shift at the CAB. Newbies - please do not copy me...I've been doing this for months and I dont have any rugrats hindering my progress ;):D

    I'm feeling quite tired and looking forward to my long lie tomorrow morning. Time for a cuppa I think and I try and catch up with everyone's news.

    Alibob congratulations
    PP :) 10000th well done you chatterbox
    boddy thanks it was a nice break, just at the right time. Who is the little bundle of cuteness on your picture?
    poohbear hope pooch is ok, have you tried steaming it clean? Can be done with just water, with washing up liquid or vinegar......oven dish inside and low ish heat to steam everything off. You could rinse the stronger stuff off with cloths that you can bin rather than using loads of water.
    Mrs B - nail polish remover, hairspray, really hot water but yes Sticky Stuff Remover that Dusty mentioned is brilliant! DS1 especially LOVED flying, even when we landed in a thunderstorm in Spain which was a wee bit scary he thought it was brilliant (I sat there a quivering wreck!)
    soappie all crossed here x
    ffp that is ever so pretty, bet she loves it

    Just had a bath, not like me but I found 8 1/4 bottles of radox so thought I would declutter the 1/4 one.....I have managed to unpack 5 boxes upstairs in addition to my list so I deserved it. I listened to DS1 read his school book at the same time, multitask :) DP has been in a tosspot mood all day so I needed to relax a little, he said before he left 'sorry for whatever I have done as I must have upset you' and was promptly told to bog off as I didn't want empty apologies just not to be sworn at and shouted at every 2 minutes, then he's offered to do work on the extremely ungrateful friend who expects him to foot the bill then repay when he pleases car.....so I was in an iddy diddy strop :o

    Washers on it's 9th load today, TD on it's 4th (2 in one each time)

    Can I have a twinkly star please :) for Tuesday's list
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
