Morning all

Actually managed to sleep until 5.15 am this morning which is progress..
Started my holiday packing last night. I'm so glad we're not going abroad with all this renewed volcanic ash threat...
Have to take the car to the garage this morning for pre holiday stuff then type up minutes from the meeting last night. I think I need a pre holiday holiday!

Have a lovely day people

notso come on petal I have been letting you off for ages with the oven cleaning - its time to be brave and make a start - if only take and hot wet soapy cloth around the door or the base of the oven - dont make yourself do it all at once!!! if you have a bath and have biological washing powder - put all the shelves in to soak overnight - will make them so much easier to clean!! go on make a start - I am very good at nagging!!!!!:rotfl:
toots xx

That is soooo not fair Toots! :kisses3:

I am actually thinking about doing the oven....... :rotfl::rotfl:

Morning campers, just wanted to pop on to let LL and Toots know I am okay. I think you are both right I have been doing too much and things are really starting to catch up with me now. You would think after being ill for so many years I would be able to pace myself etc..nope I still go at it like a bull in a china shop.. And it still amazes me that I cycle rapidly some days..yet other days I can sail through quite happily. *light joke coming - does anyone want my bipolar, will trade for a normal life.:D.*

Now on to normality - it's a beautiful day outside and I have been up since 6am. My Ddog Jet seems to want to get me up at 6am, just before DH goes to work, when it is light now. Wouldn't mind but the dog goes to bed once I am up..lol. T'other dog really doesn't care as he is fast asleep dreaming of chasing squirrels or something..lol Just been to feed the birds outside - it's like a massive war in my garden now. Mr and Mrs Dove want the food first, yet Woody the woodpigeon is eyeing the seeds up. Inbetween all this Asbo the robin is chasing any sparrows that get within a mile of the lawn.. It's like feeding children I tell you, just as expensive too. I've got to buy yet more bird food - luckily we have a huge sack of bird seed but they like the robin food that we get in the 99p shop..:D

I saw my first baby bird at the weekend, DH took a photo of it but we are not sure what he is, well apart from being a bird..lol. We think he is a baby thrush but then all sorts of birds pop in our garden he could be anything..:D Olliecat was staring at him from below, although he has absolutely no idea what he is doing. I called him in and he came trotting in mewing at me - he was more interested in his munchies..lol

Sorry haven't gone through the thread yet, so "hugs" to everyone, extra special hugs to Toots, LL and Diva ..will read through later when I have finished my ironing etc..

Ugh bring back Chris Evans on Radio 2, Graham Norton just doesn't do it for me.. Had a lovely evening yesterday listening to Radio 2, Paloma Faith was in concert for 2 hours and it was beautiful just to have her on while munching on pizza and just chilling. Even DH sat and listened to her which was quite an achievement..:D

Morning all

Still got 8 pages to catch up on. I have done some flying, need to do some HHC's today.

Have had a few sales on ebay which is encouraging as I still have loads to list. In case you aren't aware it's free listing this weekend to private sellers (auction format, free insertion fees)

Will catch up more later.
