    Done– shower screen cleaned alongside bath etc.
    Level Three
    Tidy the towel cupboard.. any manky towels can be donated to the PDSA or dog rescue.. they always need them!.. and blankets etc All tidy; sadly no dead towels at the mo; RSPCA have already had them!

    4. Clean out the upstairs bins. No upstairs here.
    5. LW's extra: do the membership paperwork that came in the post this morning. Done. Unfortunately #2 on the Extras list went out of the window, as my printer decided to play silly baa-lambs, so I spent a jolly hour persuading it that it wanted to print out membership welcome letters.:(
    Finally..... Thursday is completed.:j

    Copper has already ingested too much and is completely hyperactive and anxious. He needs to be kept in overnight, vomiting is to be induced and then he will be kept on a drip overnight and given charcoal....

    So i came home without him and cried like a big baby all the way home.

    Im off to phone them and see how he is...

    Then I will start flying and keep myself busy x
    :)Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying:)

    when the flybaby arrives (please God) we won't get anything useful done for at least a year!

    That's optimistic! Try at least 5 years (ie when they are in school) :rotfl:Although it seems we have got nothing done since Miss A arrived and she is 10 now :eek:
    havehad a busyish day so far and now need to ebay like a mad thing - I wish wilf was here to inspire me

    Will I do? ;) Had someone ask me to relist an item for them so that will be 2 sales!!!! We WILL be rich :rotfl::rotfl: Need to be after this afternoon, arranged to see a car next week and if it's ok will pick it up a week or so later :eek: 2 ebay sales are not going to make up the short fall between old and new cars!

    Piggers you are all in my thoughts and if there is any help we can give you please ask.

    ETA Flying NIL Spending LOTS! (well proposed anyway) And I am off out for dinner with a couple of work mates later :)
