  • I'm in again this week - will def give it a good shot this week, am determined to get my first star at some point. Won't be cleaning the kitchen window or the top of the cupboards though as it involves climbing. These can wait for when OH has finished the decorating he is on with.
    Thanks to all for help and support x

  • Ok - in again now i am back from my short break. I have already unpacked and washed 3 loads of swimming stuff and clothes since getting back, but i need to try and keep my momentum going.

    I am going to try and get a good night sleep as last night DS2 was ill most of the night so we need to catch up on missed sleep a bit and get DH back into work routines tomorrow.

    So, another attempt at rejoining flylady and healthy eating from tomorrow morning then. Best get something out of the freezer to cook tomorrow before i head to bed so i am semi organised.

    ... afternoon around Clumber Park......

    :eek::eek::eek:

    PLEASE don't mention Clumber Park.

    :eek::eek::eek:

    It reminds me of the project from hell I had the misfortune to work on just over10 years ago in Nottingham. What was supposed to be 3 weeks worth of work turned out to be five months of pure hell - staying up there Mon-Thu each week. We even had flipping industrial sabotage to contend with!

    One of the hotels we stayed at (because EVERYWHERE else was full one week) was in Clumber Park. The only way to get into the office was by taxi. Which cost a fortune and even though it was reimbursed later as expenses I remember having to spend a lot of that week at cash dispensers getting yet MORE cash out to pay the ruddy fare.

    My experiences of Nottingham and the surrounding area from that time are not great....

  • Ooo no poor you Soappie! We love Clumber Park so i'm so dissapointed that you feel that way :(

    You should come back over and DH and I would be more than happy to take you round - we took lots of photo's today (we like having competitions to see who can capture the best picture)
