    I've been busy since my last post, boys bedroom has been cleared out with 2 bin bags rubbish and a full washing basket. Me and kids took into boys room and then into DD, one bin bags of rubbish and half a basket of washing. Just ready need to change bedding, hoover/dust and clean the windows. :D Hubby brought in coal and kept an eye on Rhys until he took a melt down, poor child was so tired.

    Gave DD a hand with her homework and then dyed my hair. Hot water on now and i intend to have a long soak. So thats me for tonight.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Been at work all day and then had to batten down the hatches as DD had a headache that was developing migraine symptoms :( Packed her off to bed early and I'm hoping a good sleep will sort her out. ;)

    Flying today...hmmm....I ironed the clothes needed for today this morning before work :rotfl: I've done a batch of dishes & fed DD. Not much I know, but DD was complaining that every little noise was hurting her head so I basically sat & caught up here and email etc.

    Tomorrow I'm home all day waiting for an Approved Food order to arrive so I plan to fly lots. I've even borrowed DD's Glee CDs to blast while I do it, that should annoy the neighbours :rotfl:I don't do it often, but when I do I do it with style - although DD has banned me from dancing while the blinds are open in case someone sees me :rotfl: I'll do it anyway..while the cats away and all that ;)

    I won't bother doing a list here until tomorrow when I'll start this weeks list afresh. Catch you all tomorrow :D :wave:

    Football is over they have lost 5 - 0 but I could hear the fans singing so think they will come home happy.

    Silver car cost £160 to get through it's MOT. Tomorrow it's being valeted then it's on ebay.

    Nixie I have a similar hotspot on my chest of drawers. Loads of gibble. I must get it sorted before Saturday when the babysitter is here.

    ANNOUNCEMENT

    :j:jDD1's BF has got a job:j:j. His cat had 6 kittens yesterday - 2nd litter since they have been together. I won't go and see them or I will take one home. DD is begging for one but I will stand firm.

    I'm going to bed now or I will have to hear a kick by kick account of the game when they get in. Night all.

    Hi everyone,

    Busy few days so no flying done. I have tried to keep up with dailies and not add to the mess.

    Sun has been shining and has shown up the filth. I aim to to do some flying after work tomorrow, but Saturday, i am going to really go for it.
    All windows and floors need to be cleaned/mopped.......

    Hugs to all, I have been reading the thread from work, and it makes me so jealous when you're flying and having cups of coffee!
    Anyway, am exhausted so off to bed now :-)

    Shysarah - I'll be thinking of you

    Tomorrow peeps!
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'
