ho hum
went to clean car but ended up doing a cull on a very small bed which has involved lifting blocks around it and removing roots (small blocks) - green bin now filled but lid up and am rescuing ladybird larvae and returning them to the clematis for aphid-munching. Saw one earwig. *shudder*
so ahveing a coffe then heading back out...

Farm shop done, got loads for £36 inc brisket, huge full chicken, 2 large chick breasts, 30 speciality sausages, 12 burgers, 12 bacon slices, 4 gammon steaks, 4 rump steaks, 2lb mince, 2lb stewing steak.... I'll some good meals out of that little lot. I love my farm shop

Empty 3 large shelves in pantry
Decide which will be pan shelf and refill
Sort through junk boxes that come out of pantry
Clear benches in kitchen

Lil-me - I might need to head your way. Couldn't get a fraction of that for the same price around here.

Thanks for all the support. I really am not the jealous type (unless I've got genuine reason), so find it difficult to act that way. Have tried it, though, without any success. People have told me to accept it as a compliment in the past, but I really don't see it like that when someone thinks I'd 'carry on' while my kids are with me. Actually, thinking that I'd cheat in the first place is bad enough.
Rant over.

I spent the morning finishing my book , but have done 2 HHCs since. I'm not dashing around like mad, because I'm planning to be in for the long haul today. Just had some lunch and back to flying once I've finished my drink. I'll catch up again later. x

Made a start on the flying for this week with 2 rooms completed, lots of washing drying on the line

Funny strange unsettling morning with a fugitive landing on my shed roof and lots of police turning up. Thank goodness they did, anyway all over and done with now

Prior to this I was thinking what a good week it had been as I had an offer of compensation for the accidents I have over 18mths ago, lost 2lbs on my diet, completed my week 4 running programme and enjoyed it immensely

Found out I had been accepted onto my master programme and got the funding for it so off I go in Sept working full time, masters study for 2 yrs and attempting to fly and keep up with the cooking and running

Should be able to manage it

Hope everyone is ok, not managed to pist much the last few weeks, hoping Piggers has a safe delivery and everyone else is enjoying the weekend

Ta!

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it I can do it, I can do it - repeats to self over and over again!

Had a little practice with a grad diploma over 2yrs completed 3yrs ago over 2yrs so I have a good idea of what is coming workload wise!

A LOT!

Must keep up with all other parts of life and not disappear studying for 2yrs!

Anyway bring it on!!! I'm feeling excited about it, although a little apprehensive at how I'll feel at Christmas time when I'm huffing and puffing about how much I dislike it and how much I've not done!

Valli

best of luck with it all FUAS
