I think it was the shock of that word 'elderly'. I mean.... I always think of myself as about 32 or so....
Not much older than the gorgeous, fit young man, really....:D:D:D

In my mind I am still in my mid 30's!! I really don't know where the last 10 to 15 years have gone, I keep looking at my face and thinking am I really that old, and can I still get away with saying I'm 35!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

Ugh is it me or is it getting colder? For some reason my house feels rather cold
I am considering putting my heating on low, just to take the chill off the place, but I am trying so hard to hold on until 1st November.. Somehow I don't think I will be keeping to this if it gets any colder tonight..lol
Picked up my Organised Mum order from the post office, I have the calender hanging up already. Have got the diary ready to change over a.s.a.p. as it's a 16 month one and started September. The budget book I am only looking at, thinking I might start it January 1st so that I keep a better check on my finances.
Feeling rather blaa for some reason, so might curl up on the sofa and watch Midsummer Murders. Although I have to go out and get something for dinner as the game suet pud I defrosted t'other day is "off" - it is smelling out my fridge something rotten and is all squidgy when it should be hardAnd I was really looking forward to this too..oh well never mind.
Flying wise I have tidied up the lounge, put clean fleeces on the sofa and the dog chair. Apart from that have done nothing.:rotfl:Mortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

RoD is now a fab room to work in. Sorted out one cupboard in there last night and put stuff in (matching) labelled boxes on the shelves. Even DH can now figure where the envelopes are kept!
DH just phoned to say he's stuck in Operation Stack (a Dover/M20 nightmare) so no idea what time he'll be back (it's taken us 5 hours to do a 45min journey in the past!). We're supposed to be going away for the weekend tonight - doubt he'll want to go back out tonight!
Thanks to you all for helping me get my home back in some sort of order!

DS2 now lying up with a sore tummy and DD is now fine. I've decided to get on with things and forget about my tooth, have painkillers in and if it is still really bad by 7 then i'll head to the dentist in the hospital (30 flipping miles away).:mad:
Right away i go....Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
Just a quick list update cos I need to get tea on the go.
Hugs for all flyladies!
