    Go to one of your posts, click on your user name and choose 'find more posts by...'. That should do it. Hope it works.

    Don't worry, I won't. I did most of the flying yesterday so all I have to do today, apart from sweep the kitchen floor and set the table up is cook - and I enjoy doing that.

    When I started to post on this site, a very wise flylady told me to put work first (as it pays the bills) and to fit in the flying as and when. I'm ashamed to say that just when work is most urgent I'm tempted to do it the other way round.
    Schedule all the work and as much exercise as you can fit in, then use some of the leftover time for flying. Are there any rooms you don't need to use for a bit? Close the door and ignore them for the time being. Feels like I'm teaching grandma the proverbial, as I don't think I'm telling you anything you don't know already. Following through with it is something different alltogether. I'm still working on that one.
    I admire you for keeping up with the exercise regime. I find it difficult to get on with any work at all, flying or otherwise, when I've been active. Especially if it involved fresh air.
    Good luck with your challenge.
    Sadly I have discovered that if the house is a mess I don't do any work :o so it's either go into the office (which takes about 3 hours out of the day... and anyway I write best at night) or get the house back under control. The exercise is necessary because a. I've lost nearly a stone and have the other two to lose (although my personal trainer disagrees with the GP and thinks I only need to lose another half) AND because I'm doing a 26 mile walk in June in aid of the local children's hospice.

    Hmmmm.

    Does anyone know how to get Copper Sulphate or Potassium Permangate stains out of clothes?
    Burn them :D ... and make sure her next (and most urgent) present is a full length overalll...


    Well I'm up earlier than yesterday at least. It was briefly sunny but is clouding over again. Breakfast has been eaten, so I need to get going and into town (with a shopping list, which I need to concentrate on) before the crowds appear.

    No more news from Sandy, although her phone has been on as I'm getting delivery receipts from the texts. It may be that chemo has made her feel unwell - or that she's dealing with some of the things she needs to do. I'm sure she appreciates our continued thoughts and prayers.

    Me! Me! I could do MK on a weekend or in school holidays

    I'll join you for this one - it's the start of half term so a good weekend for me.

    Or we could combine both of the above and walk somewhere around The Bowl in MK (providing there's no gig that weekend as it gets a bit crowded then!)

    Not on a Sunday as it is full of car booters!!! ;););)

    Mumof2 is AF due in a day or two? I hope you feel better tomorrow sweetie, are you on meds/the right dose/type?

    WM emptied on to maiden so I'm off to bed to read in a minute

    Yes, AF is due within the next few days and DH says I'm ALWAYS much worse. Feeling a bit brighter this morning but had to drag myself out of bed as could easily stay there all day :(. DH gone to Camp now, so just me, the kids, the dog and 4 chickens!

    I'll have to remember my Pollyanna things as Greenbee suggested. I have 2 wonderful children, a lovely husband (when he's here :(), I'm healthy apart from this wretched depression and have a safe, warm house which I'm working on turning into a home.

    Off to Messy Church with the kids this morning and then I think we're going to Pets at Home to see the lovely little animals this pm as I need some more bedding for the chucks.

    Thanks for your support and sorry for selfish me post. Love and hugs, thoughts and prayers to all who need them xxx
