    welcome back to the returners!
    I'm in this week but DD2 is now into written exams so will be cluttering up the house wanting help with 'stuff!'

    I'm not feeling too good but am determined to soldier on .....after DD1's attempt at local stardom last weekk she hasn't been too good - very dizzy on Thursday..and a bout of screaming abdominal pain at 6am this morning - consultant wants her on the pill....but GP still refuses to prescribe...reckons she's not active enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I feel a letter to consultant coming on........

    flying wise - house is a tip but bathroom immaculate!

    I`m in this week. I`ve been doing more lurking than flying recently and it`s now time to get into this.

    So far this morning, I`ve been to the gym.
    WM on
    Now nearly time to start work - work from home (and my office is in the kitchen/diner) so will have to fly at lunchtime/after work
    Have a good day everyone.

    Morning all

    I never usually have the computer on this early but DD1 wanted to print something off before work, so here I am. Not done much yet but I have taken the dog out (when DD1 was getting ratty and having a go at her for stumbling round, that's what she does - she's nearly 15 - the dog, not DD1).

    One load of washing out in the sun.

    Going to tackle the kitchen in a minute.

    Gotnodosh
    , sorry you've had a shock but hopefully things will all work out. Sometimes you just have to bite your tongue so they will come back to you later.

    OK, back later.
