Hi everyone!
HelenJ well done, that is brilliant news! Bet you are on cloud 9.
Another busy day yesterday then took DP out for his birthday, took some convincing for him to take the night off. It was his 30th and think he'd have preferred to ignore it. No chance. Yesterday he cleaned out and washed my car, I did the bathroom again and most of the kitchen. Sorted some of the pantry into under the stairs storage so more space and finally managed to fit my pans in. Did some other stuff too which I can't remember now.
Tonight I am doing OU work, really behind this week with trying to sort the house and the kids being off. Im seeing others on my course posting they are on the second assignment and I have not even done the first onepartly not my fault of course with the OU screwing up and me starting late. I've ordered shopping online for the first time in over a year to try to save on time.
Oh I got this sent today http://ahdc.eventbrite.com/ how scary, now it's finalised and my name is on the same conference plan as Ed Balls......if anyone wanted to go parents also can claim expenses to go from what I have been told, drop me a PM if you need more info on that. I should print it out and frame it as that won't happen againOne day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -

A lot of the time it's all about finding "easy" ways to do things - and taking time and resting part way through as necessary.
Sadly I no longer have any pets; it's eight years since I had any snakes.helen_jelly wrote: »I got the jobleanne82duke wrote: »I just popped onto the thread to be nosey and have not stopped laughing!

Welcome - I've only been Flying for a few weeks myself, but I love it; the cameraderie and support is great. Even when Piggers makes us clean the loo.......:DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
No flying apart from putting wm on and going to Mr S. Been out for jolly day with smalls, handed my homework in at the college of knowledge and been to optician. Away at the weekend, joy! And land rover have repaired my car, but not in the sense that most people would understand it, so now I have to have it repaired again 'cos they "repaired it wrong" the first time, made it unsafe and now will not loan me a car to get to work in. Grrr. Needless to say I have emailed everyone in the Northern Hemisphere about it, and a few in the Southern for good measure. Never cross a pregnant woman with a dodgy freelander!Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0
