    Didn't get anything more done before the school run. Have popped to a couple of local shops this morning as it's a friends birthday today and I wanted to get a card and a little pressie, plus it was another friends birthday a couple of weeks ago and I was skint so got her a little something too.
    We are going for a coffee later so will give them to them then(thats why we went out last weekend). That means I need to get some bits done this morning.
    HHC at 10.....join in if you can......

    OK, here I go................
  • Morning All!

    Am typing with head on desk after getting a page at 2.45am (am on call)! Not surprisingly didn't manage to do much flying before decluttering self out of door to work!:o

    Did manage to go and get two new front tyres (more bank decluttering always achieveable even in difficult circumstances!) on the way in tho.

    Will be an evening flying session.... also need to check on yesterdays list too. Will post properly after assessing the lists! :eek:

    Have a fab day everyone!

    :xmastree: Hi I'm back - or at least I will be when the plasterer finishes. We had 2 new external doors fitted and the mess they left behind...... Then trying to find a plasterer who a) will come and quote and b) actually do the work - it's a nightmare. Finally found a reliable Bulgarian one from a flyer through the door - this is after 3 local ones let us down. He's also getting rid of the last of the textured paint in the dining area for us - after 12 years it's finally going - oh the joys of a "fixer-upper"

    Shall troll off and consider our bedroom in a minute according to orders - I really need this to keep me going in an orderly fashion.

    PS Pen-Pen certainly wasn't expecting to see a picture of Brian Cox when I checked in - great way to start the morning
