    hi folks,

    I am not flying this week as I am not able to manage to. I have my trusty helpers who are being guided, ordered, supervised instead:D

    Instead I have been sitting at my laptop, when I can, and helping out on another thread. Just going to ask Penpen's advice:)
    Poohbear flying by proxy still counts imho; you still end up with a clean house.:o (((HUG)))
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Creeps in quietly and says "Hallo everybody!"

    Huge amounts have gone to storage in the last week in anticipation of the builders starting yesterday. Obviously, they aren't here yet although we are scaffolded. There is gibble all over the house and I don't know where to start, but the loft is completely empty:D. I think I'll take a cup of tea up there and savour the space, peace and quiet!

    4 loads of washing done, 2 bags to charity and Mr T seen to for another week. Am aiming for level one this week (late start I know). Oh, and DS has decide that he wants to do potty training because the tooth fairy will bring him a bike (???!!!) so we're doing that too.

    Hope you are all well and happy. Thanks to the usual suspects. Hugs to those who need/want them. Has Pigpen finished nesting and started resting yet?!

    Afternoon all,

    My day hasn't really gone to plan. I'd just sat down with a coffee this morning after the nursery run and my Step Daughter phoned me. She'd dropped her straighteners and they landed over her forearm and in a panic she'd shook them off.:eek: Poor girl her arm is burnt both sides and covers about 2/3 of her forearm. I took her to hospital, they dressed it and she's got to go back tomorrow. I felt so bad as she was trying to phone me for ages and my phone didn't have a signal.:( After that we went to Tesco and then out for lunch. We've just got back and i've unpacked the shopping had a coffee and now i can't be bothered to move.:cool:
