    Thank you all. I will sleep well tonight. Now the bruising's coming out i am feeling much better - particularly as I can think again.

    DD and I had fun with the chicks again just now - took them out to do their daily cage clean so they free ranged for a while on the kitchen floor. They are so funny - they look at any and every small blemish or tiny mole on your arm or hand and peck at it!

    I must just remember NOT to brush my hair in that particular spot for a while......

    How curious - we have a Chinook helicopter flying overhead right now - Unprecedented and there's no mistaking the sound...

    We had lots of them flying over earlier this evening, being very irritating...

    Moral of the tale ladies - IF you decide to declutter stuff DON'T leave boxes lying in places where they may get tripped over!


    I hope you feel better soon. I have a similar tale, but not of sensible flyladying, from a few years back, appropriate for the time of year:

    Ladies: If you go to a Mums' end of term evening at the pub, do not roll in bladdered at 2.30am and promptly trip over the worse than useless dog still snoring in the hallway, break 4 ribs and knock yourself out, only to awake at 6am with the dog attempted resucitation, cat standing on your chest demanding food and a complete KH stepping over you to leave for work, ignoring the big red splodge of claret over the hallway flooring.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Morning All

    Soappie - hope you're feeling better this morning.

    Jojo - only you could do that and live to tell the tale so well.

    So far this morning

    Bed stripped
    WM emptied and reloaded
    TD on
    Twinks made - well the first lot are in the oven.

    The kids both have end of year parties at school tomorrow - DS wants to take Twinks and as I won't have a lot of time tonight due to cubs I thought I'd better make a start on them. I don't know what DD wants to take as she is still in bed but it will probably be the same.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
