Ugh I'm here, not quite sure if I am awake yet though. I went to bed at about 6.15ish this morning and I don't even remember hearing the 6.30 news. Woke up about 45 mins ago, spoke to DH to tell him I am awake..lol Am sitting here with a cold cup of tea and a very sleepy Ddog Scruffybear Shall head off and have a shower etc in a min..should feel human then I think.

Flying wise I have done two loads of washing, hung one load out early and fed the birds. Better put the second load of washing on the line..it can blow about even if it doesn't dry.

Anyone fancy joining me for HHC now - 12.30?

Triker honey, hope you have a good one

If someone gave you a present - several years ago - and you no longer have any use for it are you free to do what you like with it?

If you wanted to put it in the bin the day afer they gave you it you can.. it is no longer theirs but yours

*Mental note not to send Crafty a present cos she bins it!!*

Afternoon all,

Happy Birthday Triker :bdaycake:

craftyscholar I love Lush stuff! Would be gutted if they 'sold out'!

No Flying done today, though I might give the bathroom the once over this afternoon.
DD had v bad asthma attack early this morning & is in the High Dependency Unit, probably till Monday they think. She's settled off to sleep now & her oxygen levels are more stable, so I've popped home for a shower & to get some of her stuff together. I'm sure she'll be fine, but it's been a stressful morning.

love to all,

toottifrootti

doh - I cant believe it didnt dawn on me it was your birthday Triker - i thought your hubby was just being nice!!!!



Hope you have a lovely day xxx
love and hugs
toots xx

Yes, they gave it to you, it is no longer their property, and I certainly don't check years later if people still have the gifts I gave them

Aunty of course you can do whatever you want with it - we all keep things far too long because someone gave it to us - we feel guilty and we shouldnt - if it no longer gives you pleasure or is useful then part with it - someone else might be glad of it.

In a nutshell!

Triker Hope you have a very Happy Birthday

Just having lunch and then I think a cuppa.

Not much flying needs doing, washing to go on the line and S&S to bathroom and shower room so should be able to achieve that before school pick up. Apart from that paperwork whilst watching even more election coverage.
