    Hi All :wave:

    Am in again this week, thanks to all at FCC as usual for the lists etc, I have been flying last few weeks, just not had time to post, was going to finish off SIL's paperwork tonight (finally) and have left my memory stick in work :eek:. I done the LR last night but lets see what I can score off. Kitchen also ok as I had a "cookathon" yesterday.

    I have also been ebaying a lot of stuff, my sister just told us about a month ago she is getting married in APRIL in LAS VEGAS so need to save as much as humanely possible :eek:.

    For the record, my OVEN is filthy Piggers :o.

    Special love and hugs as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva, welcome to all newbies/returners.

    I just shouted out the :eek:back door to my DS (3) "pull that zip up or your balls will fall out" at the top of my voice!!!!!!:o......................

    he was on the trampoline with all his footballs, he likes kicking them around whilst running round the trampoline but the zip on the safety net was opened. :rotfl::rotfl:(Wonder what the heck my neighbours thought !!!!!)


    HHI @ 7.00 if anyone wants to join me, need to do this each night this week

    I fed mine meatyballs with cheesy sauce for dinner..

    "Darius! Stop messing with your meaty balls at the table and you have cheesy sauce on your trousers!"

    I also asked if they wanted cheesy sauce on their balls or ketchup!

    So glad the windows were shut

    OH minced half the grass today :D

  • Very little flying from me but did LR quickly yesterday. Been at work, then home for 10 mins (opened and binned post)then collected DD from school. Listened to her reading, had an early tea and made both of our packed lunches for tomorrow. Washed up, S&S the kitchen, got DD to bed and am just going to relax in the bath. It is nice to have a tidy clean house and I've noticed since I joined you last week that I'm putting things away instead of abandoning them willy nilly.
    Ther won't be much flying for me tomorrow either, work then tennis and rainbows for DD, so I'll have to catch up on wednesday!

    no advice, but having been burgled myself this year, I'm sending huge hugs for you and DH. Hope you can get something sorted :A

    Absolutely shattered after my day at work. The atmosphere is terrible; everyone is snappy, stressed and bad tempered :( I'm self medicating on red wine and chocolate :rotfl:
