Afternoon Flyers

Firstly, Happy Birthday to Thifty and Vanilla.

Get well wishes wherever they're needed; Mumof2 and Mummyyof5 particularly come to mind, and of course Sandy - what's the news on your poor arm?

All BDs suitably confined to kennels at the bottom of the garden.:D

On to today's flying; thanks once again to Pigpen, Soappie and Toots for helping to get the Wolf's Lair fit to be seen.

Just quick update while on my lunch break. WM delivered and installed and 4 loads done yesterday (just to make sure it worked ok)! I'm so sad getting excited about a new WM but it actually cleans the clothes properly and no more muddy rugby kits - they are to be soaked or mud brushed off first before being washed!!!!
Also DS didn't win best cadet but came second for the males - and he gets to go for a 2 hour flight in a tornado simulator!!!
Is this a male thing where man goes and buys items needed to do DIY in house then sits in front of telly to watch sport? On Sat DH bought the flooring to put down in loft and then proceeded to watch rugby for rest of day!!!! MEN!!!!

Now need to get on and declutter my desk from the oodles of work needing to be done including flights, hotel and car hire to book (for boss) and meetings to arrange. Will try to fly this evening.

Have a good afternoon one and all!;)

Mum_on_a_mission_2

Have phoned - DH still in surgery, so its been a lot longer than we expected. So best crack on and do some more tidying - dining room I think.

Have put more washing out on the line, its moving slowly so it might dry.

lilo little and often and you will get things back on track - hope you get the meds under control too
penguin my goodness what a nightmare not to have hot water for another 2 weeks - I would be emigrating I think!!!
fedup :T:Twell done for getting your routines sorted and also trying to do a little daily its by far the easier way - you have come a long way and are really doing brilliantly!
rubygems thats the idea - start with all the level ones and build from their - it doesnt happen overnight but you will get there.
BenW good luck with the writing today and well done with the weight loss:T
Emma133 by the look of your lists you are already a very organised lady:D hope you find the lists a help
mummyyof5 (((hugs))) gentle ones for you - take it easy but if its that bad maybe you should see someone about it - hope it gets better soon - crack the whip and let the others help.
well done SunnyGirl it shows that you have been following the lists for a while now that you can be finished so quickly - an inspiration to us all:T:T
MOAM hugs and thoughts for you both today - try not to get tooo frazzled!!
sandy you will be on the sick list until your arm is healed so 'No' you dont have to do the tops of the units - I hope they dont keep you in - its really annoying when they do that - pack a bag just in case and then usually you dont need it!

Valli hope you feel better soon - honey for the throat.
sabs10 lots of good luck vibes to DD2 - how exciting and nerve wracking!!!
froddy well done on your moutaineering - hope you were very careful!!!
well done hypno :T:T
pigpen hope you arent making things more difficult for yourselves by this change of plan? sounds promising though if you are going to get the bedroom done. Happy new home day to Ds1 & family:T
jinky in the meantime stuff it with newspapers - get the large newspapers and loosely crumple them enough to fit the space.
Lo-Lo an afternoon at the movies - in your front room - DVD and popcorn?
kalojac (((hugs)))) it doesnt sound nice but hopefully it will help
