I am in this week but only aiming to do dailies, I will try and fly at the weekend but it is my big day on Wednesday and I need to devote myself to practising and flying about on trains.
I have already done my dailies and I am about to go to the station to make the appointment that went so disastrously wrong on friday. I have deleted what I have managed to do from today's list as part of my dailies.
I won't be keeping up with the thread and I amy not get back on until Thursday now so see you all soon xxx
