  • Good morning!!
    I have a course at work after taking DD to school so I'm pleased that my room is as clean and tidy as after I'd bottomed it last week-just needs a quick vac round. So in my limited time today I will be;
    Vaccing all upstairs and the stairs.
    Tidying and dusting in DD's room-started on the tidying last night.
    Making a turkey casserole of some sort for tea (turkey thigh pieces out of the freezer).
    Sort a drawer in my room-full of old socks and tights which probably all want binning!!
    Hope you all havea good day!

    ETA Happy Birthday Toots!!!!

    Sparky didn't arrive last night so DW on now. Kids up and ready to go and i need to be town for 10.30 for the dentist, i'm not looking forward to it. grrrrr
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Not feeling so good today, I am getting really frustrated now. By the time I went to bed I was very achy, I can always tell when the Diazepam is wearing off and this morning my neck is a bit sore too. I only have 24 hours left of the Diazepam so will be relying on the painkillers at the weekend.

    Pigpen I love that list, I did some of those jobs yesterday as they were things I could do while sitting on the bed.

    Toots Have a very happy birthday, have a relaxing day and we shall throw mules if you DO any flying, spend a day doing things you enjoy, you deserve it xx

    Good morning everyone.
    I've had a busy week at work, but today I shall fly....

    Happy birthday Toots. May your day be filled with lovely things.
    Ajmoney - sorry you're not well. Hope you feel better soon.
    Valli - A 2 litter tray family - posh! I have 3 cats and only 1 litter tray! Less to vacuum though when they kick all the litter out!
    Dusty or should I call you Guv? Congrats!
    AnWs Mum - you have got me into bad habits again! I've been back farming after I banned myself! It's no wonder my list is sooo long :p
    Whoever is going to the ball? Have a fab time. I need 2 long dresses for 'dos' next month. I picked 2 up on ebay for the princely sum of £30.:T
    I can't remember what else is going on but love and hugs to all. I will be reporting in regularly today!
    Off to fly - well when I've planted a field and drunk my coffee.....;)
