    DS2 away with his granny, was told they where only going into town for his present and a message. They left at 1.30 and he's still not back.:eek:

    I've also got him his big birthday pressent and i'm waiting on him to get back, eventho his B'day isn't until monday he get it today. It's a bike so he should get good use on it and it may even get him out of the house more.:rotfl:

    My sister had her interview and she thinks it went really well and should hear by the end of the week. Also she lifts the keys tonight to the new house.:D

    Hubby now back in bed and not much flying has been done, i'm just too tired today. I think it will be an early night.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • DH has been flying on my behalf today. I'm just sorting out the chaos!

    Froddington - hope you have had a lovely day
    GnB - eagerly awaiting pictures of newton
    onestep - hugs

    Weather wasn't good so we abandoned planned outing and instead got the new shower working. Lots of microfibre and elbow grease to get it clean but looking really rather good. I also did a lot of cleaning in the playroon - hyacinth zoflora stinks!
