Morning all

well so far this morning I'm up and dressed (Got to get changed in a min though!), decluttered 2 cups of tea, made OH lunch, decluttered an episode of Ugly Betty from Sky+, hung the washing out and gone for a run. Took the dog with me too so thats another job done. OH can walk her after work.

Not feeling too bad considering I was up at 5.10am! Not bad when I wanted to be up at 5.30 so I got to enjoy some peace and quiet before my run. I am following the "running made easy" plan, has anyone else tried it before? I'm only on my 2nd run of week 1, so far so good I just don't wanna get to say week 4 and suddenly feel like its killing me!!

I've just said I can't read things on a floppy disk...email it to me (why would people not do that anyway!?)

I am guessing if this person (betting they are one of the older generation) has a floppy drive it's an old pc and possibly one donated to them. I know to us it's hard to comprehend but I am also guessing this person has no internet access and even if they did they may have no idea how to attach something and then email it.

Morning!!

No flying was done yesterday due to being out at IKEA most of the day and then making up furniture the rest of the day. I still have to go back with a bigger car for the stuff that didn't fit in this time! Love how cheap IKEA is though. They've dropped loads of their prices on stuff and it's not just the carp either - expedit bookcases, hensvick??? (those whiteones) bedroom drawers etc.

Anyhoo, i am at the midwife this morning so not sure what i will be able to get done today as well. I'll get dressed and at least do a WM & DW with a S&S of the kitchen.

I'll come back in a bit to see what's in store for today.
