    morning flyladies :j

    here is the sum total of my flying this week - nothing, zilch, nada :o In my defence I've had a few distractions and unexpected delays, visits etc. I'm hoping to get down to a few jobs today. I have been doing dailies and laundry though
    I'll never be able to catch up with the thread so sorry for anything I've missed, hope everyone is well and hugs to anyone who needs one or wants one

    Morning all. I daren't post my to do list as it will become clear what a lazy !!!!!! I have been this week:rotfl::rotfl:. It was so much easier to keep up last week when I was off sick!
    I have managed to keep on top of the ironing though (by not doing anymore washing!)
    I plan to make a simple dinner tonight so that I can catch up on some flying.

    Good luck to Mudders and Pigpen and anyone else who has appointments, interviews or presentations to today.

    Pen Pen belated birthday wishes.

    OPart two of the Talking partners course today. Monday was actually pretty good apart ffrom the yukky building. One woman complained she was cold so the heating was wacked up for the rest of the day and I was glowing like a pig! I might wear a bikini today:rotfl:

    Edit: Pretz just read your plumbing saga..pmsl...just sounded like the sort of thing my OH would do! Hope you managed to get it sorted

    :wave: morning everyone

    well I got virtually nothing done on the list for yesterday. My mum's shopping took a lot longer than it should have done, owing to the fact that
    a) the weather was rotten so everyone took their car and parking was a problem
    b) I got lost and kept finding the same one-way street over & over again, and
    c) I spotted a wardrobe in a shop window that I hadn't intended to buy (but did!) so had to stop and have a wander in.
    I also spent a lot longer with my mum than intended but don't mind that ;)

    I can breathe a sigh of relief! She spent 5 hours sorting it all out last night and I was very proud of her! It is almost unrecognisable from the first draft!
