. The spare room is the first one in the house to finish being decluttered and to be dusted/cleaned properly does anyone else remember about 3 months ago when it was my ROD. I still have a few bits I would like to improve in there with storage but they are on my Toots list.

:T:T:T:T:T yes I remember aj - well done to you - I knew you could do it - you cant dress up in that smart uniform everyday without some discipline wearing off at home

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a meal planning thread? I hate cooking and some inspiration would be useful for quick and cheap meal ideas. I do want to learn to cook one of these days.

Juliebunny I am sorry no-one has answered you (lazy lot!) yes there is a thread - here you go -

meal plans

dont be hard on yourself you are doing well - and DO NOT play catch up - if you dont do something on the list forget it - its only a matter of days before it comes around. Just try to get little straightforward routines/ dailies in place and that will help. (hugs)

ScarlettsMum awh honey - stuff the housework - baby is far more important - the dust and dirt will still be here when we are all dead - babies have a bad habit of growing up so enjoy - but I agree with all the others too that baby has to fit into your routines as well - she might like the hoover but if not a few tears wont harm her (hugs)

LameWolf thats good that you have a date to get organised for now - you mentioned 'giving up' totally but the problems it would cause the area guy - well excuse me young lady that is not your problem! it sounds like you have done far more than your fair share. It is the same in loads or organisations - the same people get put upon and do all the work. Do you enjoy doing it? How much time does it take up? What would you do with the time if you weren't doing it? Does the paperwork take up a lot of space that you could utilise? If you get more woofies would you still have the inclination to be doing it? Is it a chore? maybe the time is right for you to handover - only you know - but you musnt be worrying about the consequences for others that just causes stress (((hugs)))

sorry but I have just skimmed

getwell soon wishes to all the poorlies

hope you all get some decent weather this weekend and have a chance to enjoy it
ooooh and its Earth Hour saturday night!!

love and hugs to everyone and especially LadyL

Morning All

Toots - you've been staying up very late at night - it's not good you know!

Not sure what's planned for today - probably not a lot for me - I need to make sure I'm fit for work on Monday.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Morning everyone :hello:
Sorry I havent been around much. Spring has sprung & I'm spending lots of time at paid work which limits flying time quite a lot. I've been promoted at work too which of course is lovely but means more hours too

Have skimmed the fred but haven't taken that much in..
LW 8 years is a long time to do a volunteer post - if it's still fun then great, but if it's an effort & uses up valuable spoons then maybe it's time to stop? Mr LW has it right (clever man!) think on it a few days ((hugs))
Scarlettsmum if it bothers you then do the hoovering while she's awake, but like the others have said, she's only a baby once. Enjoy her!

Flying wise.. We've got unexpected visitors tonight, so I'll be doing a couple of hours mad flying once I've been to work. Laters!!
