    Morning fly-peeps :rudolf:

    I haven't been here for a while, been unpacking and shuffling things around trying to get my self organised. I now have my arty/crafty stuff pretty much organised and looking forward to being able to get back to some of my projects

    This weekend I'm putting up my tree and the decorations, really looking forward to this as its the first time in a few years that I've had room for a tree or anything nice!

    Flying-wise, I havent really done much except unpack, sort, shift and generally organise stuff. I'll hope to join in next week or the week after, do some proper flying and catch up on all your news.
    in case I dont get back here any time soon merrychristams20.gif

    G&B thanks, I am ok, hows your wonderful DD this morning?

    DD is quite good this morning, she helped me build and decorate the christmas tree. Now she is writing cards to all her classmates. Nice quiet activities so she doesnt get over exerted. She's a nightmare, as soon as she feels a little better she tries to do too much and gets really tired.

    dusty - that's lovely about your Nan's decs..

    They were just ornaments to her, kept on her bedroom window ledge for years. I don't know any history from where they came from but they are beautiful and too me christmasey; they are on the mantel and look great (no pun intended)

    Morning all. We got the slightest dusting of snow this morning in Devon. About ten flakes. MIL arriving this morning, its like a visit from the flipping queen.

    Hope all is well.

    eta wash on, place hoovered, bathroom s and s'd dirty washing collected, empties collected from bathroom, fire on.

    eta again, rosepink is that one of your pieces of jewellery that you have made as your avatar? Can you make one into a corsage? There's a gap in the market for decent corsages, or have I said this before?
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Triker that would be sensible, how about doing something like giving the gloves & helmet wrapped up with a 'gift voucher' for a bike? My friend is a keen BMX boy & uses this site/shop loads http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/category/161/BMX_Bikes if you find one in stock up here (from Teeside-Newcastle ish) shout & I'll see if I can get it/get a courier.

    rosieben I was wondering how you were getting on, same to you honey x

    G&B pleased she is feeling a bit better, good luck keeping her from doing too much, she seems one determined little lady :rotfl:

    Old gas company seriously ticked off, they will send me another bill :rolleyes:wonder if this one will be right, I have only been waiting since October! Shower & wriggle on time xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all

    Been MIA a bit this week, but I'm now finished work for Christmas (YAY!). Had work do no 2 yesterday then murder mystery evening at in laws, was great fun and I was the murderer!!!

    Appreciate flylady vibes for DH's sister & bil, they had a scan yesterday (she's pg), and it seems there is a problem with the baby. No more news yet but was all a bit of a nightmare as they phoned in laws just before dinner was served last night and I ended up being there so had to tell DH, which I did very badly. So not much sleep here and we're all in limbo til we know more. DH predictably handling it badly. I'm now hoping I'm not pg this month, might all be too much!

    Today's plan is not much; some flying, wrapping, top up shop. DH is watching the cricket so I won't be watching any of my stuff!

  • Rach - hugs and prayers coming your way for DH's sister xx


    My cards have just arrived :-) and I'm now going to open them all!

    Thank you to all who sent one and special thanks to L-L for being our postie!

    Merry Christmas everyone xx
