Achieved absolutely no flying this week. Bad bad. Haven't even kept up with dailies and this place looks like a tip. Just got no energy. Been trying to do last minute client's tax returns and the website keeps crashing and losing all my data.

OK. Moan over. Had lovely evening out, Thai and watching the King's Speech. Unexpected treat from DH. He also 'found' the second car key so I am no longer stranded as he has his car.

WILL get back to flying today.

Morning All,

Warm hugs and loves to all, whether you need one or not a little hug can go a long way.

Progress is slow but steady here. I am putting off the lists until Saturday as I want to get all the lining paper stripped in the hallway before the weekend. Then next week I can scrub the glue from the walls, do the gloss work and prepare everything for the week after when dad is back from his holidays and can help me work on the ceiling and walls. I am thinking Lemon Pie paint by Dulux at the minute as it is a lovely sunny shade.

Then I have to decide about the big bookcase that was in my hall, now it is out it makes me realise how much it was blocking the flow in there so maybe I might switch it with a half size one in the study. Or maybe look around for a little table to put in the hall and put the bookcase in one of my built in wardrobes in the study to store my books in as I already have in the other one. (Can you tell I had a restless night again? lol)

The house is a bit messy but I am decorating so it is par for the course no doubt. It is very satisfying seeing how I am making a difference. I can't wait to paint it a lovely sunny colour, I know colour has a profound effect on our moods so I am hoping it might help give the black dog a bit of a kick.

Anyway enough procastination time to make a move...

Love, Hugs and Spoons
Sarah xx
