    morning frugalpie and all other flyers on the weekend circuit :)

    Well yesterday I got up at 7.30 to fly round as we had another viewer at 10.30 so I did
    washing up, shine sink, cleaned cupbaords & TILES, CLEANED bathroom hoovered everywhere, quick weeding in the garden clean hob, made beds, put BM on the LOT. And she never turned up :mad: Good heavens that was SO annoying.

    We had some sorting out really of random boxes yesterday ( boxes of stuff stashed under beds) so we did that and found another old mobile to send to envirophone. Its only worth a few quid, but that means iM halfway to getting an electric knife for our bread :)

    Today, not a lot really. Im not feeling too clever, and Im thoroughly exhausted. OH stayed up to watch bad telly, and fell asleep on sofa & I had a terrible nights kip kept waking as he wasnt in the bed :(

    Later though we are off to some sort of bengali tiger parade- anyone heard about this? My council tower hamlets is doing a bengali folk festival instead of guy fawkes celebration- been all over the news. So we'll go to that and see whats going on, hopefully a few glasses of mulled wine to be enjoyed then back to flying tomorrow.

    Hugs to all :)

  • Morning all!

    Congratulations to Denise and all NZ! Went and Googled Dan Carter, to see what all the fuss is about! Might take up watching rugby now!

    I've finished tidying my spare room! It was a huge task, so thanks to everyone for your support. I'll be stripping the wallpaper (when I have time, and remember where I put the stripper) then a plasterer in, and DH to investigate the chimney breast - it appears to have developed a leak.
