Sorry but adding on from my last post and having a rant so please ignore if you wish

But OH just made a move for bed and popped head back in the LR and said i quote 'do you think we could tidy up this s""""ole this weekend'

I am sorry but why did i spend 2 days tidying your LR and scrubbing clean your bathrooms and 3 hours in A&E with broken toe your FIL and your children today and you were tooooooo busy work wise to come and collect.


Okay i havent been flying for a few weeks but......... I think i may be on strike this weekend I have tried this week and it hasnt been noticed maybe a strike will be....

hi all

v late for me, and for the first time since getting pg dh is in bed before me. Think I just needed some time to myself after long (but good) day out with dad and his gf. Went to canterbury in the end, quick look around the shops then I met SiL for lunch whist dad and gf had theirs and then we went into the cathedral. I struggled with the walking but managed to just sit every few minutes. Almost didn't make it back to the station but needs must! Been out for a chinese tonight and am now ready for bed I think.

Do need to fly a bit this weekend, bathroom needs a good clean and now dyson is fixed that needs wielding!

Hugs Jjef, your toe sounds painful and grr to your OH :mad: you should go on strike and let him see what happens when you don't do anything.

I'm going to bed now, i've got a few bits to do in the morning but it's almost done. I just hope it doesn't rain now after all this.:cool:

Goodnight all xx.

Morning all :wave:

Well, hurrah for the weekend. Got some flying still to do but it's just nice not being at work isn't it. Mind you I wasn't actually at work yesterday but with work people having an away day type thing at a charity centre, did lots of digging and building - dug some flat beds and built a raised bed, now I know how to make one for my own garden as the one put in already by the previous owners is starting to rot. Am a bit sore today from it, tried to have a bath last night to stop this but there was no hot water so ended up having a horrendous cold shower instead (which had to be done because the site was a mud bath with all the rain we had) Did a couple of flying jobs (stripped and remade bed, tidied away all my stuff from the day out) then sat down to watch tv but was sooo tired I fell asleep on the sofa at 8.30pm, DH found me at 9 and sent me off to bed. So I've been awake since 6 this morning. Still, have got a bit done from the lists this week (despite a couple of CBA days)

Feeling much brighter today than the weather is - it's chucking it down again! This is not good as outlaws as supposed to be camping in the garden.

jjef - ouch that is so painful (DH did he's the night before we went to France and it is still sore now). Try not to wear shoes which put any pressure on the toe - treat yourself to some fit flops (you'll never look back)

Toots, Diva and Lady Liberty special thought for all of you

Rach - glad your day went ok

shower
feed neighbours cats
make cake
write shopping list

DH
put stuff in the loft
