    Thank you for all my birthday wishes yesterday! (You're absolutely correct, FFP - it's a great day for birthdays!).

    I went to my Mum's for Roast Beef and Yorkshires nomnomonom ans then came home and watched the snooker. Marvellous day and not a ounce of Flying done. Mind you, Mum and Dad had bought me one of Lakeland's Floor Dusters (as a replacement for the Dyson I gave them) so I have been prompted to go clean the floors!

    I'm off work this week so the list should be no trouble. She says....

    I shall have a cup of tea and then get started.

    Morning all
    Sorry this is not flying related but would like some advice from you all if that's ok?
    I have taken the day off work because kids have inset day - they are 12 and 15 years of age. Originally I was going to work because eldest is old enough to look after himself and his brother and hubby would be in bed if they were stuck,(hubby is working on nights later and finishing at 6 tomorrow morning). I didn't know till yesterday however that eldest is going into school to work on some coursework today so youngest would be on his own downstairs and even though hubby is only upstairs he has to sleep ready to do nights later. I decided it would be unfair for youngest to be on his own and hubby to be woken if youngest really needed him so took day off work but I feel so bad about not going in - I almost feel like I'm skiving off work :( Just wondering to myself would youngest have been ok? No disrespect to my youngest but I feel so guilty :(
    What does anyone else think?
    Jen x
    Everything happens for a reason :)

    have got docs appt at 10.45 - and have told work I won't be in - they have recently decided that if we need the loo at work we can't use the one off the kitchen - we have to go downstairs! As I have a suspected UTI this would be impossible so I'm not going in until I can go more than 10 mins without running to the loo!

    Washing/ironing here I come!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j
