    I have some research work to do today; and my dreaded first day on Thursday...
    I have research to do too... I block out 4 hours every day for it and then spend the time faffing about :o... However I MUST proofread the last one as it's due for the next review stage and that's the only thing holding it back. I'm sure you'll be fine on Thursday... you know all the flyladies will be there supporting you!

    WTG Wilf :T:T:T ... let's hope Triker is inspired by your example. Is the house finally starting to feel clearer now?

    OK... I think I'd better shut down my ibook and focus on my work laptop now...:( I'll be back later to think about flying. Like Wilf I need to get to the post office at some point... so need to look at my diary and work out when I can fit it in.

    soappie - enjoy the course. Hope it gives your brain some much-needed exercise :p:p:D

    I have finally finished all my packing and have had a morning of preening myself ready for the warmer Oz weather, still think I should be in hibernation mode though! Just got back from the hairdressers, going to sort some lunch and then I will be off to work.

    Happy flying and I will catch up with you all in 2 weeks

    Morning All

    I am in this week, thanks to Pigpen Toots and Soappie. Hugs to you all, have skimmed through the thread, play2day, hope you manage to get rid of the smell, what a shame for you.

    Never got a chance to get on yesterday, DH never got in from his pool tournament until 1.30am on Sunday morning :eek: (from 11am on Saturday)but....he won and got £320.00 which he split with the runner up so we went into Ikea yesterday and I helped him spend some of his winnings :D (well I treated them to dinner from my bingo winnings so only fair:p)

    I got new bedroom curtains yesterday seeing as sun bleached my old ones, they are lined but I am going to stitch blackout material on them so DH gets a proper sleep when he is nightshift.

    Old bin out, new bin in, floors hoovered and scrubbed, will need another hoover when dry, but off to work now so will continue when I get back xx
  • Yay Sarah, I bet it wasn't nearly as hard as you thought it would be! And it will be easier next time too!

    Big squishy hugs to everyone who needs them, there seem to be a lot of you!

    So far today I have:
    Made the bed
    Gone in the shower
    Been disturbed by the electrician who has come (after 6 months) to fix my extractor fan :eek::eek: Told him to come back later - he's not here yet
    Finished my shower
    Swished and swiped around the bathroom so it's clean for the sparky coming back
    Had a cup of tea to calm down
    Emailed cemetery about headstone for great-grandfather and great-great-grandparents graves
    Got another rejection letter for a job in Germany


    Grr I don't want to start any long jobs because he'll be back any minute. I shall have to go and check my list.

    Love to everyone
    xx

    Not quite as productive as the phone went. Then I was checking out power miners for W's birthday. Off to go and get some now, will call in at Mr S for food shopping seeing as I am going that way.

    Now to get something to eat and then i'll have a go at the extra's.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all, not caught up yet.

    I'm in this week as usual but, as usual, probably doing everything in the wrong order. This morning I've done the kitchen/diner and damp wiped the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs. I'll claim for the appropriate stars when they come round. My brain can't handle doing things on the "wrong" day, I can barely work out what day it is sometimes though.

    Going to catch up a bit before I start cooking.
