    Morning All

    Haven't caught up with the thread as I've got a cracking headache. I went to bed last night because I'd got a migraine brewing but I didn't take any tablets so I don't think it's gone away.

    Happy Birthday Furball - hope you have a lovely day.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    It doesn't look like I've done alot but my house looks really good. I'm babysitting my friend's toddler this afternoon & all areas are clean for her. I could do with just decluttering the hallway & then we can fit her buggy in. If I don't get any flying as such done today it's not too bad. I will wash the bedding & curtains though. Have a good day everyone.

    I feel like I am treading water where flying is concerned, in fact I only just have enough head out to keep breathing. Mum and dad will be here on Saturday, the house is tidy enough for visitors now but it really needs to be cleaned. I have today off although need to be in work for quite a bit later, OH is off tomorrow for half term and we are both off Friday so should be able to get stuff done. I have deleted all decluttering jobs and anything I have already done.

    I am finding everything stressful purely because we can't seem to get a band sorted for the wedding so I keep looking into it with no success. I have sent out another batch of emails so hopefully I will hear something soon either way. Everything else is coming along nicely. We are meeting with the vicar for the first time on Friday so hopefully that will go ok.
