    Well that was easy!!! Got to the bank at 9.55, managed to park right outside (usually have to park miles away), stood in queue, 2 people in front of me and got served at 10.05. Back home by 10.10!!

    Good morning LiT

    Yey you found your phone, I have done that many a time and almost panicked couldn't be without my moby. :p

    Blimey, no flys on you (excuse the pun :rotfl:

    Back home in time to crack on. Its breezy here and the sun is out time to risk the washing on the line, fingers crossed the rain stays away. Really need to get it all dry back to work tomorrow.

    Catch you later. Happy flying :D

    Afternoon footiemad,
    Not raining here at the moment but dont think will risk putting washing on the line. Got 1 load in the washer that will be finished shortly and then 1 load to do then thats it for today!!! Still need to finish the ironing pile though. God I hate it. Im going to employ an ironing lady when ive packed in smoking!!!

    Good afternnoo LiT

    last bit of washing on the line and almost dry...took the chance and its paid off marvellous. Ironing :eek: My worst nightmare but when I get it all done I am really pleased with myself but then I dont want to wear any of it.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Have you heard such a thing.

    Well now that is an incentive for you. I have been toying with the idea. Used to do that before then stopped it may be time to start again. Do an hour have a break and then do another hour, play some music to take your mind off it or do it in quick time to some fast music that ought to help:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I can just see you.

    Catch you later

    Morning,
    its D Day!! Ive got a patch on and my plastic ciggy at the ready. Already had my morning coffee which is usually followed by a ciggy but feeling OK at the moment.

    Still got the dreaded ironing pile to get rid of. It needs to be done today. No more peeing and fartarsing around I just need to get it done. Also need to make a start on my bedroom and ive got work at 3! Today is going to be a busy one (again).

    Ive got this weekend off but then Ive got 7 shifts in a row so ideally over the weekend I need to get the whole house done. I love a challenge!! lol
