    Wouldn't quite agree with your assessment of yourself but hey ;)

    I fell asleep after my last post and have only just surfaced - I bet it was that long telephone call last night which kept me up late that has done it:p:p:p:p:p:D:D:D:D:rotfl: so off to bed now.

    Oops I can justify those long types of calls if they make you laugh and you are smiling at the end, a good kind of tired ;)

    These weeks to fly past, it felt like it was Monday only yesterday and here we are already at Thursday morning :rotfl::D You watch I bet the rest of the week flys and the next time I post it's Friday!!!

    Hugs to all, have a good one x

    Oh Boo that has really ruined my day. How will I cope:p
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.
  • Morning,
    House an absolute tip. WM on but off out now to my voluntary job until lunchtime. Need to visit a friend in hospital today, but can't decide whether to go this afternoon or tonight? When will the parking be easier? Hmm. Decisions!
    Lots to do today so catch you later with an update.
    Happy flying everyone xx

    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'

    Morning campers. I'm up and have finished bouncing around to The Candyman on Chris Evan's Radio 2 show at 8am. This is a Friday morning ritual for me for some unknown reason, I always make sure I am up and about for 8am so I can listen to this song. It always gets me in the right mood for the day..although I don't think the neighbours might be as they are normally subjected to a very loud version of the song..lol

    Nothing exciting to report on the bird front, the usual suspects have been hovering around waiting for me to go out and feed them. Mr and Mrs Dove are sitting in the tree looking down at me, and Woody woodpigeon is sitting on the fence bobbing up and down. The sparrows are conspicious by being absent, but come feeding time they all appear as if by magic..:rotfl: Getting a bit worried as Asbo Robin hasn't been around for a couple of days, I am sure he will be back when the weather gets colder and it is darker in the mornings. The mouse family seem to have disappeared, unless they are darting in and out getting food when I can't see them, or they are trying to avoid being spied on by Bear..He does have a tendency to go looking for them for some reason..lol

    Yesterday was STEPPS therapy, and although we didn't do a lot for some reason it absolutely drained me. I came home and fell asleep for two and half hours, and then was like a walking zombie all evening. Strangely I was wide awake come 10pm..lol. I have my homework for the next two weeks, so am going to take the folder away with me on holiday and do the odd bit when we get back from our days out and I am vegging out.

    I am thankful that DH takes over when we go away, I really don't have to do anything except get myself out of bed and showered for the day. He does all the cooking, cleaning etc. So I can run myself ragged the next couple of days..lol. No seriously I can do what needs to be done at home then spend the next two days just resting..although I think I am driving some of the way so better make sure I get plenty of energy tablets..lol

    Well I have a fair bit to do today, but thankfully it is only really itty bitty bits so shouldn't take long.

    Hugs MissH hope you are feeling better after your fright earlier in the week.
    Oooh Kazwookie, we are heading off to Norfolk on Saturday. Somewhere called Throckenholt, apparently it's near Wisbech. Have been reading up on it and it sounds a lovely part of the area so can't wait. Hope it doesn't rain all week as I will have to buy some more jeans at this rate..lol. Which part of Norfolk are you going to?
    GnB, glad the car passed it's MOT, but ouch at the amount having to spend..:eek:
    Piggers your OH isn't unusual in killing pillows, I do that to pillows. They only last about three months with me before they go all flat and icky.. DH can sleep on his pillows without flattening them for some reason, wish I knew his trick..lol
    Lilostitch if you thought that was a long list, then you had better not read the next two days lists for me then..they are humungous..lol For some reason I am running on a high so I am not going to slow down, I have all week to recover if necessary..lol.
    Toots, the lists may be big but honestly they are so granular it is amazing, and a lot of the things I can do while doing other things as well.
