    Sorry flyladies :o
    I haven't been flying so much this week, as I have been caught up in Weezl's latest thread HERE
    But I have had friends over this evening, and a cheeky HHC, at 5pm actually sorted out the public areas :D
    2 months ago, this would have never been possible :o
    So thankyou ;)

    I will be back proper next week.... ish ;)
    Hope everyone is well

    Although I went to bed early last night it was my latest so far at half 9. It was very bitty but thought I would be able to sleep for a while, it was not to be :mad: some of our neighbours often start yelling at each other in the middle of the night outside. They started at 11.30 and we were woken up hourly by them, I am not sure she ever went inside! Someone did the worl a favour and the police turned up at 4.30 but I couldn't get to sleep after that. Got up nearly 2 hours ago so as not to disturb OH as he is at work tomorrow, tried to doze on the sofa but it hasn't worked. Might try and get an hour this afternoon so I can stay up later tonight. Sorry rant over :mad:

    Morning everyone

    Just filled DW and decluttered a coffee
    DH is having a lie in

    We must be getting old cos he bought me some much needed choc [for when AF visits] and a warm hat that I was after - so romantic, well some would laugh but actually this is exactly the kind of present that I love, so he's in my good books.

    My plan today is to try and send DS to his Dads but I think that might fail so I'll do the kiddies rooms whilst he does whatever, he has been banned from playing with PS or Wii today as he spent ages on them yesterday. This may be the deciding factor in him going to his Dad's. ETA - he's staying at home

    DH is at work later so that will be when I catch up with the ironing hopefully. I also wanted to spend some time in the back garden today getting a patch ready for Veg planting but its raining so I don't think that will happen

    Monday, Tuesday and Weds I am on a training course all day so there will be little flying done except for dailies but I'll keep you updated on my prgress, its training I'm really looking forward to , its about adults with learning disabilities and their needs.

    Going now - have a good morning all

    Hugs to those who need them

    Helen x

    PS
    AJ - well done on your results
    Dusty - hope you have a lovely birthday
    Sexymouse - hope you are feeling better today but take it easy
    Nutty - well done on the porch
    Mumof5 - hope your back is better today
    Lamewolf - did you get some nice sleep?
    Projects made for craft fair - 40 :)
