    Hi all

    Bad night's sleep and busy day at work means no real flying here tonight, though DH has washed up etc. Bit of a shock being back at work after 4 day weekend and the fact i was out most of last week....hundreds of emails! Think I'll be going to bed soon to try and catch up on sleep :).

    Hope everyone is ok, haven't been able to catch up. xx

    I'm very proud, considering it's my first day flying :D

    So you should be, you have done very well give yourself a pat on the back :T

    Monday ~ Kitchen & Dining area - All done, can I have my star please Toots

    Soappie Glad you had a good first day and thanks for DH's birthday wishes, he is at my uncles down the road for a refreshment and game of pool (uncle has a big fancy house):D

    Ishtar - Hopefully the op will get rid of all the cancer and your mum wil make a swift recovery she sounds like a fighter after you mentioned she survived a near fatal brain haemorrage (sp)

    Greenbee - Are you going to the reunion then? I would go for the nicest, like to be in luxury when am away from the kids (which is not often)

    Rose - Pigpen put it better than I could have, if my friend was really down then I would go and help her out as well, I certainly would not wory about the mess of her house, if it cheered her up then I would do it, my aunt was having a terrible time with nasty neighbours and we all went over and done her garden and painted bits on the outside of her house and she was so appreciative of it and it cheered her up no end she provided the food and refreshements. After your have read this your friends will have been and gone and you are probably worrying about nothing, keep your chin up sending you ((((hugs)))) from freezing Scotland :rotfl:

    I have worked out that there are no crumbs in my keyboard, but when I have my outlook open, thats when the letters are being missed so obviously slowing my lappie down (oh and am connected to neighbours wireless router) think ours is dead :(

    TV is pants tonight so am gonna catchup on emails.

    BTW where is Jinky :confused:

    I put white vinegar in the machine drawer and put it on a 90 degree wash for a clean cycle as I read someone done that today, I usually just put it o a 60 wash with nothing in drum but a bit of liquid???
