  • Minimal flying for me today. Decided to go for a longer run this afternoon after some shopping this morning and a little nap this afternoon. A good relaxing day, until the run which was hard work and then got much better for the last part.

    Just stuck the bathmats and shower curtain in for wash, washed up after tea - just listening to the tennis then a quick tidy up ready for tackling the lists tomorrow alongside fitting in another run

    I've been rushing about all day, and have finally collapsed at the pc!

    INSET day yesterday was excellent, although I snuck out after lunch, and hid away in the MFL area to prepare all the lesoons for Monday and Tuesday while I'm in France. I have already done my required INSET days, so I wasn't being really bad - and my Head of Dept knew anyway!

    I was exhausted by the time I got home, so curled up with a book after dinner.

    I did the kitchen first thing, and I plan to do the bathroom tomorrow, which means all bar the teens' rooms have been done this week - and they're getting yelled at tomorrow.

    Thanks PenPen - he won! he was so happy. It was close and went to a tie so they had to play the first hole again. We were not there (DS's request) but he said most people were rooting for the other player (who is only 11 so not surprising). He had his friend with him as Caddy though.

    DH has put my new washing line up and we have brought a mirror to try in the shower room. It was expensive so we will have to love it to keep it.

    Going to put the washing on soon and then off to bed with either my book or the paper. Only DS1 to be ferried about tomorrow (more reffing and another golf match) so should get some time in the garden.

  • .....busy day for me but not much flying......didn't do much yesterday either. Went to visit friend in hospital who is worse than I thought (she's confused) and I ended up staying for the full 2 hours visiting and bringing her washing home! Went to Trafford Centre and Costco today, which I could have done without, but DH was looking forward to Costco! Only cos he knew we would stock up with cakes. Went hospital visiting after that - phew, but DH went to Mr Ts for the weekly shop whilst I was out bless him! Tomorrow, I only have to leave the house to pop to the hospital, so I will be flying from an early hour. PJs on now, and just gona watch x factor with some popcorn. :-)
    Hugs to all...

    Evening all

    Looks like my internet is working again for the time being. I've not had much time to catch up, so hope that everyone's ok.

    Since finishing work yesterday I've:
    done HHC in LR
    made spag bol (added lentils and oats to mince and DH liked it :T)
    decluttered some wine
    watched Deadly 60 Live with DSs (DS2 would like to go to one of the roadshow days - looks like Darlington or Liverpool would be best for us)
    researched prices for train/hotel for above event
    bought school shoes and trainers for DS2
    sorted lunch/travel budget with DS1
    done budget for rest of month after paying for the alternator :eek:
    shopping at Mr T and Aldi
    put steak slices in oven for tea

    Oops - can't see any dailies and only very little flying. :( I'm tired again, but at least I'm not out tonight. DS1 is out at a party, so I don't have a babysitter.
    Options: tidy kitchen and bake, sort laundry and put WM/TD on, drink wine and veg in front of TV (recorded episodes of Who do you think you are), have a bath. I know what I should do, but I really can't see it happening.

    I will...
    put shopping away
    put DW on and empty bin
    collect laundry
    ... and then see how I feel.

    Thanks, sexy - I think the next few weeks will be pretty much the same, as we are awaiting 'THE PHONECALL' to announce an imminent visit. :(

    Hi all just an update my husband and i have decided to separate well he told me on Tuesday i had won and he was leaving me. He said he knew i did not want to be with him anymore (which i don't) and that he was moving out.
    We have not go on for a long time he never talks to me pays me any attention and never wants to go out or do anyththing. I felt more like a brother sister thing than a husband and wife.
