  • I'm in again but somewhat off piste as have a few deadlines elsewhere to meet before half term. Will post a mine own list tomorrow once I've got it all together!

    I was given a beautiful Emma Bridgewater set - a spiral bound "write it down" notebook and a "write with me" pen - and its been sitting on my desk unused - not anymore! :j

    Starting a list of before Christmas things I'd like to achieve or finish GreenBee style, along with detailed this week lists like PenPens style. Why reinvent the wheel - thank you ladies :T:T

    But now its time to away to my pit,

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Morning All

    Think I may have done too much yesterday as I'm feeling rather achey today - I thought I was having a quick recovery after Fri/Sat.

    Anyway, plan for today is:
    Whatever I get done before I go to work probably inc HHI.
    Work
    Put Beaver uniform on at work
    Drop friend off
    Pick kids up
    Pick DH up from hospital
    Grab a McDs for tea
    Drop DH and DD off at home
    Pick up 2 other Beavers
    Go to Beavers
    Come home collapse and go to bed!

    Hmm - not sure where I'll fit much flying in today.

    DH is off today though so he is going to the CS to get rid of the things I sorted out yesterday. I think that's all he's got planned to do flying wise although I'm not going to bother washing the dishes as he should do that. He did do some ironing yesterday but there's still a load left.

    Hugs to Hollyh and poohpals.

    Hi to all newbies.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
