    right - well i feel i got a lot of business work done today and did not get distracted too much - and did not feel guilty as had done loads of flying before 8.30am..

    so lets see if i can keep this up...

    i am going to try and get all my dailies and the wed list done before the school run again...

    right well that means it must be my bedtime...DH has just got in from work and is just about to have his tea --- :cool: we never get to talk at the moment - just ships that pass in the night:cool:

    right bedtime for me.. as have to be up before 6am...

    and we start lambing next week so i am determined to get to level 3 in all rooms (apart from my ROD which is the kids bedroom which i am promising a thorough declutter and clean after lambing)

    i will not do very much for the next 4 weeks whilst lambing apart from essential dailies and will be using up the batch cooking in the freezer while we live on HM ready meals for a month...i might aim for level 1 throughout lambing but it depends how it goes and how many triplets we get to bottle feed..

    so i need to get as much sleep as possible before lambing to store it up for the month of living in the lambing shed:eek:

  • My week is going quite well flying wise I was looking forward to doing my list tonight but not possible :( don't know how to copy and paste properly on my internet device lol. I am in bed with a hot choc hoping I get to sleep soon as I was woken up at 6am by my friend who is in labour. I've got her liittle girlie twirl here while shes in hospital (what fun it is with a one year old and a two year old) so am panicking about through the night if either of them wake up.

    Not sure if I'll manage to sleep very well anyway as we are having a major (well, major to me) spider crisis, they are all outside thankfully but I'm petrified of them and have not helped myself by scouring the internet for repellant and seeing millions of pics of the beasts

    I will definatley be putting up my list tomorrow tho.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather and flying along nicely
