    I didnt get a single star last week, I tried to keep up as much as possible, but after Dads funeral on Monday I went into a flare and couldn't do much. Im still in quite a lot of pain and will probably stick to level 1 , but at least I feel Im acheiving something. So until Im back to normal I'll probably just be lurking. ;)

    Morning all, I'm in again this week, thanks for the inspiration to our lovely leaders and all other flypeeps. I have a busy week, what with decorating and birthday boy on Wednesday plus DD1 is on 2 x 3 day trips this week?:eek:. DS1 is not back at school until Wednesday. Plus I have loads of (paid) work to do, so don't think I can promise any stars although I'm really wanting to make a last ditch effort. I do really appreciate the work that has been put into star maintenance up to now.

    Haven't read the thread so want to send good wishes to all and congratulations to Sexymouse. Welcome to the house of fun to all newcomers!

    Morning :wave:

    Wow, lots of newbies :T Welcome!

    Diva Good to see you posting ((hugs))


    Hope everyone's ok. I didnt catch up on last weeks fred xx


    Right, I'm back on the flying wagon! Sproglets are back at school after what seemed like a never-ending 2 weeks, and my house is a dump :o

    We did have a productive weekend though, sorting out the garage-of-doom. Loads of stuff put to one side for ebay/car boots and the rest is all neat and tidy. One thing I didnt count on finding though was mouse droppings :eek::eek::eek:

    Seeing as its the last week of stars, I'm really going for it. Thanks to the Fantastic 4 :A
