I'm back

In the last 6 weeks I've been to... Geneva & Lausanne, Hong Kong; Cannes and San Diego. I lost my voice just before my trip to Cannes, where I was presenting 4 days in a row (and talking to clients the rest of the time). It recovered just in time for San Diego, and just about made it through 4 days there. I had jet lag for the first half of last week (don't usually get it as I don't often sleep on the plane, but OH reckons I passed out before the meal was finished and he couldn't wake me up for breakfast!) and have felt grotty since... spent yesterday in bed and today pottering but I have FINALLY finished unpacking (and put away my summer clothes)

Need to do some cleaning so I can do a month's laundry... and make a christening cake for next weekend. I'm travelling again wed/thurs (Swansea/Cardiff/Bristol unless snow stops me - I can only hope) and next week (Edinburgh for work, then 4 days off in Scotland with OH )

Parents are staying next weekend for my nephew's christening, so I need to try to get the lists done and make the house habitable.

Off to put a few more bits away, and then have a bath to recover!

Bring on the stars!

I'm in and I still have 200 words to write as I chop and write the text!

One hour to go and that's it for today - looking forward to normal service resuming tomorrow and a fly again!

:hello:Hi ladies!

Thank you to all at FLCC.:D
I'll be in a little bit this week, not much until Friday, and although I'd love to, unlikely to get any stars.

My cold is going, and I feel better today, but unfortunately OH has it and is suffering, as he always gets things very badly . He was too unwell to do DD's wardrobe, so I have another week with every room in a state of chaos. Sigh.

On the plus side, I have done some Christmas shopping. It's just two weeks until our family get together and meal, and I have to have their presents all ready and wrapped to take. Then I can get started on the teens...

hex - hope that you get some positive news soon, and 'feel better vibes' winging their way to you.

hi greenbee!

Love and hugs, especially to toots and lady-liberty, and any other of our band who could make good use of a hug!

In again.. Thanks FCC

I will also sign in for the Ironing Challenge - although tbh it is only me so should not be too much of a challenge (in theory:rotfl:)
I like the idea of the stars/snowmen too!:j

Had a good evening have set to and listed 31 items on ebeast after the massive overhaul of the wardrobe on friday. Already had some enquiries about a skirt I have listed so fingers crossed some will sell.

So pleased it is the kitchen tomorrow as I made a beef casserole tonight and it bubbled over onto the hob had a quick wipe then burnt my hand so it can wait till tomorrow now.
