It is quiet isn't it?
think lots of people are getting ready for Monday - that's my excuse anyway!!
Not much flying done here, WMx1 & that's about it. DH is home after the week away, & currently decluttering DD to bed, after which he's going to cook dinner
I'm sitting on the sofa!!! Arm hurting a bit so I'm taking it easy. It'll be lovely to have DD back at school, but I am going to miss her
Am planning lots of flinging next week, as well as meeting up with sparkleworld on Wed 
Have a good evening everyone, hugs & spoons here if you need them

Back from our fab holiday up North, but a horrid & long drive home. Having a surf & cuppa before unpacking..
Have I missed anything vital?
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

Is it the grand reopening tonight 
Tempted to prop it up myself tonight but not so far as no chilled white wine
Might stick a bottle in the freezer for half an hour :beer:
can we please only order the mini bottles of wine when ordering at the flylady bar ....Mrs C needs the empty bottles. :beer:0 -
:hello:Hi ladies!!
I've decluttered most of my grey hair today:D. Very relaxing afternoon, as my hairdresser was running late as usual, giving me time to read two months' of Good Housekeeping, and Country Homes and Interiors, which I love but would never buy.
That made up for the early morning start as DS2 was round a friend's and had a 9.30 dentist appt. His arm is still achey and sore, but there doesn't seem to be too much damage. I have however vetoed rugby tomorrow!
I've done washing, and a bit of tidying....
Love and hugs.
ps Welcome home moam!
pps hex - are you ordering any bulbs this year? I'm tempted....It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -

Now that sounds lovely - did you get a real hot drink as well? I sometimes think the hairdressers is the only time i get hot coffee.
I want bulbs - project crocus remains on my list and I want some rockery tulips, but I am waiting to know everything is sorted DH emplyment wise before I spend anything else. We have had to buy a car, tax and insure it, etc and it has been..painful!'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Dusty - hellooooo right back at you. Hope things are ok in the dusty household.

I 'found' the bank card just as he picked up the phone to cancel it. :rotfl:He's really beating himself up for being such a prat. I feel I can milk this one for a while.....and I will!
I've decided I'm not human! Mmmmm something you probably already knew. After one hours sleep last night I'm still wide awake. I've had a hot drink and put lavender in the burner...I will sleep tonight. I will sleep tonight.
This afternoon I did about three million loads of washing (I NEVER exaggerate!) and also cleared a border in the garden. I made gammon and eggs for tea....do hope the smell of the egg didn't make DH feel too queasy:D.
Think I'll head to my pit with a book and the lavender oil. New sheets too - my idea of heaven! :rotfl:
I'll start on lists proper on Monday.

Yes, really nice coffee - they have some fabulous and no doubt expensive machine, and whenever they offer me a latte or a cappucino, I smile sweetly and say just a small cup of coffee with a splash of milk - they try not to wince.;) I've been going there for years, and the salon has been run for a while now by the son -I've known him since he was eleven.
I need tulips.:D And very probably crocus. And daffodils.:D
I'm going to save the extra money I get between now and Christmas (extra day and a half each week) towards replacing my car, which needs to be done next year, but I think I can probabaly sneak a few pounds for bulbs. Just don't know if I'd actually have time to plant them...
:hello:Hi mudbath! I missed you earlier. Nice to see you back. Months and months of teasing there I should think.;)It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0
