    Afternoon Flyfriends

    I have popped to a support group and decluttered some unwanted lego. Collected prescription for ds2, took back out of date meds, discovered that parents' can have their tablets put in weekly trays as they are finding sorting them out difficult, visited parents, back to chemist to pick up forms, took CBT phone call, rang Dad,collected chicken fillets for dinner, hoovered LR, 2xwm, td on, S&S bathroom & Kitchen, put bleach down outside drain. Washed hair & attempted to dry it.

    Need to collect DS2 at 2pm from school to go specialist dentist again and take his new epipens to school on way.

    Going off now for HHC 1PM

    Starting is the hardest part but the key!

    Washing on the line, off to the next town with DS2&3 now to get a few bits they need for summer/school/sport

    Be good whilst I'm gone and somebody do some flying!

    Afternoon all :wave:

    Thank you for all your good wishes. The interview went well, except I waffled through the teamworking question, completely forgetting what OH and I had discussed last night, doh!!

    Anyhoo, OH taking me out to lunch. Back to catch up with everyone later.

    Filing cabinet and front hall done. Food ate and now i'm going to deal with the 101 cd's we have.

    Hubby home and fed. So i'll drag him to do a couple of bits before he falls asleep.
    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.

    No time for flying: been given full time hours for the rest of the week. Will just pour toilet cleaner into the bog before I go out for the afternoon...
