Haven't managed to catch up on the thread as yet. Feeling really tired today and to top it off my Lovely Mrs Mop sent me a message saying that she is poorly. Good thing I joined this thread as managed to get a good start yesterday to sort this chaos out.

Evening all,
Hope your DB and SiL are on the mend Boddy.
Hugs for you and yours mumof5.
Nice to see you back Diva:A
Good advice there Soappie with regards to personal information and such like, you can never be too careful.
Not got much flying done, have done a lot of studying though. Doing my much hated Numerical Analysis:( Its so tedious, much prefer calculus, geometry and number theory! Anyhoo, was very lazy and ordered pizza for dinner, its 2 for tuesday at dominos so not breaking the budget:DThe trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0 -
Evening all,
Good to see you back in the purple Diva, hope you feel in the pink soon, take care.
:wave:to all other flypeeps.
Have done very little flying because I have been working and supressing children all day.
My washing machine broke on Thursday last week and DH, who can normally fix everything, condemned it when we got home on Sunday. I ordered a new one and it will arrive on Friday.
Fortunately I had washed all the bedding on Thursday and was completely up to date. So today when I sorted it out into loads, I only had 10! I have handwashed all the smalls:eek:. Nothing like scrubbing the skid marks out of mountains of pants and that strange orange floor grime (I think it's the sand) from endless socks to make you appreciate the wonders of modern household labour saving devices.
I know I could have gone to launderette but I had to go for 4 weeks while I waited for H**ver to rebuild the blooming machine when it last failed (in warranty), that I really begrudge the cost.
Soappie - you have a PM.
