Morning all :hello:
happy birthday willow!!
Hugs for sick dogs .. It's not so long since I lost my old girl, so I can feel for you. Still hurts now, they leave such a gap.
Am so glad it's the bedroom today!! I stand a slim chance of catching up
My extras are:
go to parents' house, do dust/vacuum & wait for some furniture to be collected
go to sister's house, pick up dad's tablets to go in hold luggage for Portugal next week
start packing for Portugal
do more sewing (got to be done for Sunday!)
think that'll do, seeing as it's got to fit in the school day together with some paid work & flying..
Have a good day everyone

65 days till christmas la la la!
Good morning ya'll just thought I'd pop that in! I haven't been flying much I'd like as placement is taking up loads of my time, driving up to 40 miles each way to see operations and clinics. Just doing my best to stay on top of the grunge by S&S daily the hotspots of kitchen and bathroom and doing best to make sure piles of carp don't accumulate. Children don't help much on that front, although my DD1 did hoover all thru for me yesterdayOn a plus note I did find out I got an A on my exam so that was a relief.
Back on an early shift today and I want to do some baking when I get home before Brownies. DD2 is taking her promise at Brownies tonight as all the local packs celebrate the centenary of the Brownies at 20:10 on the 20/10/2010 and they will all be renewing their promises then too. It feel a very special occassion.
Have a good day!Donna

I had to reread this Mrs B, I was convinced I had read you had a new bath plumbed into your bedroom..:rotfl:
It goes along with thinking that I had read that Kaz had hoovered her cat last week - can't remember if it was something else to do with a cat or hoovering..lol

Best crack on then, kitchen and living room look RUBBISH, thanks to kiddies, which is very annoying after all my hard work the last couple of days, so I'm going to do those (again) first grrrr.
Can't blame DD as she has been led on sofa for last week with pneumonia (as those on my FB will know), Doctor phoned me yesterday to say he'd now seen her xray and it was worse then he thought so has given her MORE medication! Poor kid
