    Cake is covered, so I can stop worrying about it for a bit. I need to work out what I want to do with it though! No flying done... I need to concentrate on work for a bit though, as I feel as if I'm getting behind!

    Potty, I love the new Robbie Williams song too. Don’t worry about keeping up with the thread, if you want to see if we are talking about you, you can search for your name in the search box! Seriously tho, most people can’t read every post. Who is the chicken lady?


    I know, I think, I will just keep to the flying, on the days I am working...
    And if I can, I will catch up when I am days off :D
    Thanks for the tip rosepink ;).... that will make it easier to see whats what :D

    The chicken lady is the farm I go to to get free range eggs :D
    Its on the way home from work, but a bit far to go from home, just for eggs. I always try to sort out my egg consumption, so that I go there when I am on early shift.
    I went today, so, will be crossing that off my list later :D
    She is a very nice lady.... I give her a bottle of HM wine, she charges me a mega reduced rate for a tray of eggs :D
    Happy Days. :D


    Ok... off up to make sure the olds are okay...
    Then home for a couple of cheeky HHC's from 7.30-8pm and 8.15pm till 8.45pm ... :D
    Back later to update.

    Potty :D

    Sorry, havent had a chance to read the thread today, hope everyone is ok.
    Hope injuries (Mudders, soappie, anyone else ??) are mending, hope BD leaving everyone alone, hope Pooh is ok and hope everyone stayinjg calm carlsberg. Hugs to anyone else I have forgotten).Had a funny old day. Since I had a bit of wine last night I felt very down today (post alcohol blues my DH calls it). So wanted to wallow in bed or at least on the sofa after school run. But I forced myself not to sit down and took DD2 to her swimming lesson, then had coffee with a friend and then did a big Asda shop.

    Came back and just had time to clean bathrooms and put shopping away time for school again. Then we went to another friend's to play - one of my antenatal group, we still meet every Thursday, its been 7 years now how fab is that! 7 of us still meet up and we are all so close now, and the kids (there are 13 of them now) all get on trmendously, they are like siblings. Its mayhem though LOL

    DH has taken DS to footy, I am putting the girls to bed and then me and DH are going to see 2012 , babysitter due at 730pm :j:j

    Oh I had a really nice thing this morning. A few weeks back I made some drawstring bags for the toy Beavers that DS's beavers have to take home (think Class Bear). Last night he came back from Beavers with a card that he gave me this morning, its from all the Beavers, signed by them all, with a picture of the 3 toy beavers and the bags in the front and a big "Thankyou Jill" on it. So sweet :D
    (BTW my DH cant talk about Beavers without going all school boy and silly and sniggering :rotfl::rotfl:i

  • Jill you are doing aso well with the flying. you should be so proud of yourself. You should be proud regarding the Beavers too.

    Well DS is back at school but now DD is off :rolleyes: She hardly said a thing today. Realise how noisy she normally is.

    Had a quick tidy up and done some washing today but DD hasn't wanted me to let her go-forgot what it was like.

    Hiya everyone!

    DH is home from working away but the car isn't - it burnt out on the way home. At least no one was hurt.

    No flying done. I'm in a ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mood!

    I will try and do some more flying tomorrow between working and having a couple of treatments myself - I really need them this month.

    Are there really 11 days left this month! I've got to do my in-laws a Christmas hampster by the end of next week and, as of yet, I don't have the money to do it. It'll all be fine.

    Just read that back....nice as a hampster would be i'm actually going to do a hamper:rotfl:.

    Right, kicked myself up the bum and I'm going to have a quick sort out in my bedroom and see what I've got so far for this hamper.....it'll be fine:eek::rotfl:xx
