    Please count me in again. I didn't manage to do any flying last week as I had major family problems to deal with, so bad I have ended up on medication! Feeling better now though (probably thanks to the drugs) so I am going to try hard this week, if only to take my mind off things.

    Hope you are ok - I've had those weeks as well!!!

  • thanks for suggestig that Mudders - its fine by me so long as you tell me when you need a star but its also fine if you want to bring your list forward everyday - - I know loads of people love to strike things off - I do - so what i do is post my list with strike throughs - the next time I post my list I delete what was previously shwon as striked through and then strike through the new stuff - does that make sense? And all the time your list is getting smaller.

    and if you are posting to tell us what you have been doing there will still be the same posts only they wont have your list showing.

    Ok lists are written and stuck on the notice boards in the kitchen.

    Ive also scanned Google and written lists for my emergency kit which I need to get together. im going to do one for the house and sort out the mish-mash of stuff in my boot that used to be a kit..... :rolleyes:

    Ive also found a use for some of the old holdalls I have upstairs and didnt want to chuck :D

    I really really need to get some box files as my expanding file wont take anymore and some in trays..... will do that tomorrow and then that will be me on the right track.

    Im going to declutter some chocolate and watch TV before bed xx
