    Good morning all, things are beginning to calm down around here. Everyone is over the shock of the weekend and are beginning to think sensibly now(apart from DP's granda who has gone on a bender, took to many heart tablets and ended up in hospital yesterday, he's ok tho. And he has fallen out with the entire family but hey ho... thats the way he 'deals').
    I'm feeling more human now, the weekend completely drained me mentally and emotionally, as the 'detached' person I was trying to be there for everyone with comfort and support and just forgot to reinforce my energy etc. Got a busy day today so not much flying going to happen, just basics and maybe a level 1, we'll see.
    Normal service to resume tomorrow.

    Also want to give you all a HUGE thank you for you kind words and support over the weekend, really meant alot to me and the family. xxxxxxxxx

    Good morning all, hope you are all well xx

    I have been to the doctores and had my long overdue smear...hate it, but after hearing peoples stories on here and elsewhere decided to make myself go and glad I did now xx

    I showed DD the house fairy video yesterday and it inspired her to do a few little things in her room so will try that for a while with her....I have stripped her bed this morning and put it in the wash....

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning all, dailies done, sun shining, house quiet, some work going on...

    Hope everyone is ok? Was thinking of L-L getting dusty at Glasto instead of muddy, that'll make a change.

    Hope they let you stay at Cornhill a bit longer Toots.

    Apparently, DD and DS1s school are finishing early today for the football but didn't even tell the parents :eek:.

    Hugs Holly - take it easy!

    Just popping on to say I've just heard from LL - she's queuing up to get in and says to send her love to you all! Keep sending those spoons so the weather stays like this for her! xx

    Flying has been a trickle but I'm hoping to do more this afternoon and tomorrow. Think i'll do my list again if that's ok....I'll do it in reverse order in the hope the upstairs gets more of a look in....so....

    - master bedroom
    - 5 minutes garden
    - dd's room
    - 5 minutes garden
    - ds's room
    - 5 minutes garden
    - bathroom
    - 5 minutes garden
    - hall / stairs / landing
    - 5 minutes garden
    - living room
    - 5 minutes garden
    - front room
    - 5 minutes garden
    - kitchen
    - 5 minutes garden
    - conservatory
    - 5 minutes garden
    - clinic
    - 5 minutes garden

    It's another case of 'make a difference' in each room.

    GnB - glad you like my system, lol, if I didn't do it like this I'd just stay pottering in the garden!

    Hugs to everyone in need xx
