    I thought I was having problems with my 'puter last week (and got some good advice from the 'techie' board) then I realised that a lot of people seemed to be complaining about slow internet.
    I still haven't successfully downloaded to my MP3 player ( which makes it a rather expensive ornament :o).
    Right, shower, brekkie and come back for what is going to be a loooong list:eek:
    It appears to be better today

    *** wanders off wondering whether this poll thing might not be a good idea ***

    Hi all

    My brother went down for surgery at 7am this morning,my mum has been told to ring at 1pm to see if he is out or not as they dont know how long it is going to take....apparently the tumour is very close to all the nerves around his spine...they may not be able to get it all out today so may mean a further operation at a later date.

    I have Toddlers today ....must go put ironing away in my bedroom before i go....I am going to be measured for new bras today so need to catch earlier bus

    Love to all xx

    I'm back. The bathroom is clean apart from the floor..both cats are asleep so I don't like to put the hoover on! I'll do that later. Dishes from the drainer all put away, pumpkin seeds planted & the few dry bits in the greenhouse watered.
    I've not eaten yet today so off to find myself a coffee & some toast and marmite!

    I'll up date my lists again after the hoovering is done.

    Hugs Mummyyof5, i hope the surgery goes well.

    No flying today other than a load in the WM and some ironing. Will be studying all day to try and make up for the time i've lost this week. Then going to work.

    Morning all! I've not flown for the last two days, as had mega busy day on Wednesday, and my 30 mins flying yesterday had to be in the garden as it was rather neglected! I planted some aubretia plugs that came in the post, and sowed some cosmos and love-in-a-mist seeds, and watered the pots as it was terribly dry out there.

    Today I've washed up already, and am waiting for Mr T to deliver my breakfast. I'm hoping he comes soon!

    I plan to do at least 2 HHC's today as I need to do some proper cleaning around here!

    Hugs Mummyof5

    Love and hugs to Lady Liberty, Diva and everyone else who needs one
