I have just quit for the 2 freecycle groups I moderate on, as they have suddenly worked out I mod on more than one group, and have done for 2 years with out any problems, now a job worth has said it is against rules.....................so stuff them....................liberation is good. They can find someoen else to carry on, and the cheek of it all, they send me an email asking / telling me to train up my replacments, before they demote me!! stuff them...........
Plus OH has just knocked the socks off me so to speak, as he has presented me with an eternity ring it is lovely, will need adjusting to fit, it seems we have been together for 5 year, (I forgot:o:o) and time has flown by.
Off tomorrow to visit my mother's grave for mother's day, and then to see my father, so have a good day tomorrow I'll catch up over the weekend
Hugs xxxx

Evening all
Feel better vibes to all poorlie flyers.
Not much flying done since this morning but OH and I went to meet a friend for dinner and a catch up. which I really enjoyed as I havent seen anyone for a couple of months as I havent been up to it.
Tomorrow I need to pack DS bag as well as go to the shops to pick him up some bits and piece before OH and I drop him at the airport to meet KH.
While Im at the shops looking for DS I need to have a quick nose for some new stuff for me as I have gained two dress sizes :eek: whilst off sick and although PJ and elastic waisted Jogger bottomes and T-shirts are ok for at home dont think they go down well when I go back to work, which ingers crossed will be the week after next as Im seeing the specialist next week.
