Morning everyone,
Sorry No flying done this week:o
I have been lurking but just not been in the mood to do anything i triped over ds large car transporter on sunday night and my back and leg has been killing since and has made me feel down and stupid I did see it just was having a clumsy moment(which hapens often):o
So you'd think I was used to it by now.
Still I need a kick up the rear to get me going before the house is over taken by rubbish and mess:eek:
I am going to do a HHC 10.45-11.15 anyone care to join?Morning.. ish...
I knew first thing on Monday this week would be a pig and a half!
I have DS3 off today upchucking.. Moomin has tummyache and OH has the trots.. I am absolutely shattered.. eaten toast and made a cuppa to see if I can be revived or if I just need to go back to bed.. I am absolutely boiling!!! and I got back from school and put my jammies back on!
i've opened all the doors and windows that I can.. someone spilled ccereal in the front room and didn't clear it up so it is a bit niffy in here ... or I could just be being odd.
I am finishing Squeaks cardy today.. and I have 4 to sew up/finish off .. I thought there were only 2.. oops! ... Then I can start the lemon one..
DD1 decluttered to exam, OH declttered to interview, 4 pinks and middle blue decuttered to relevant schools... I just have 3 cats demanding attention.
So far the culmination of todays flying is. 2 cat food tins and empty milk carton in the recycling!
Hope everyone is feeling better soon sending positive get better vibes:jmember of the thrifty gifty 2011 :j0 -

Got absolutely nothing done last night - Missis Voice called me at work yesterday and asked if I wanted to go into town to watch a free showing of Carmen on the big screen in the Market Square; she made up a picnic and I went into town straight from work. Had a lovely evening together, really enjoyed the opera, and didn't get home until well past eleven.
Lots to do about the house, and it's goingto be a busy one this evening - ugh, the kitchen's still a mess from when I fixed the sink tap (though happily the cupboard-under-the-sink's dried out now), the cupboard that needs to go up on the wall's in danger of becoming a semi-permanent fixture in the middle of the kitchen, and if the plants on the dining-room table don't get put onto windowsills soon, there's a risk they'll never come out right - but was it worth it for a lovely night with the wife last night?
Of course it was.
Have a lovely day, you guys0 -
Hi all, got visitors coming round on Thurs evening so just debating whether it's worth cleaning the front room today or not... OH and the kids seem to mess it up in just half an hour and then if I complain I get told I'm moany (where's the rolleyes smilies?).
Got an extra appointment at the job center this week and they want me to bring proof that I've been applying for jobs (so they can sit and go through over 50 job ads/confirmations/refusal emails). Hate that place. Black dogs tail me all the way there and all the way home
It's not a great day today even with the sun shining outside.

:TMorning ladles and jellyspoons,
Have made a start on the list, also got the WM and DW on, have had brunch and have S&S'd the kitchen.
LO decluttered to school and DH gone to work.
Nice to see some of the old guard returning - lil_me and Mudbath:j
Hubby left the fridge door open last night so stuff isnt as cold as it should be! Could have been worse though, it could have been the freezer:eek:
Sounds lovely at your house Pigpen, hope everyone is on the mend soon.
Love and hugs to all the poorlies - especially Toots, Lady L and Diva:A Has anyone heard from Diva lately? How is she doing?The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0 -
