    Happy Birthday Greenbee - hope you're having a lovely day.

    Hugs Boddy.

    Staff meeting tonight so didn't finish work until late, come in, cooked tea and now eaten. Need to walk the dog and then see if I'm in the mood for doing anything else when I've got the kids in bed.

    Not really any flying left to do today after yesterdays whirlwind springclean have been enjoying looking at my house today, DH noticed the difference when he got home last night....was so tired afterwards i didnt wake up till 10 this morning!!!!!

    Clean bedsheets put on bed, rest folded & put away
    Breakfast made & cleared up after
    Lunch made and cleared up after
    House hoovered
    All surfaces wiped down
    one lot of washing done dried & put away

    I had a nasty virus on the computer that wouldnt let me get into anything today, internet, avg, system restore nothing would work finally fixed it and feel so proud managed to do it myself. DH thought it needed to go to a repair shop...should charge him £100 for fixing it. lol.

    Hope everyone is having a good day flying and otherwise. Greenbee Happy Birthday
