    Feeling bit better tonight but not happy that I didn't get much done.

    Drawer, now fixed, is back under the bed and waiting to be filled. Might do that in the morning whilst watching James Martin. Could do it later but have just sent DS2 up there to use our DVD as I couldn't take Thomas the Tank any longer! DS3 has now taken over the TV downstairs and so we are in for an evening of Top Gear instead :undecided:

    I've no idea what the spoons are all about but I'll throw a few out so those in need can take. :D

    Hope you all have a good weekend. Will be a fairly quiet one here as DD is staying at a friends. :T

    Had more than 30 mins me time today. Went to St Andrews with some of my new family, had lunch at the golf course, played pitch and putt, had lots of cake and tea then came home. Currently decluttering lots of hugs :j

    :hello:Just popping in to say hi to all my flylady friends.


    It's been really busy this week so I haven't had a minute free to catch up on the pc, or do very much in the house for that matter. I miss the Bank Holiday Monday, could really do with them more often. Maybe once a fortnight.;)

    Hope to catch up with at least some news this weekend, but if not, love and hugs.

    Hi Serena, I was wondering where were, have a nice weekend.

    Being a taxi tonight, 2 runs done so far. Still it means I can keep slipping on my new Papillios from TKMaxx today :D

    I really should do the ironing but am procrastinating.

    Evening all!

    Another mad week at work, but at least I managed a satisfactory observation. :j They liked it so much that they're coming back first thing on Monday for another look, though. :o

    I'm planning a quiet weekend - flying, food shopping, work and stuff with DS2. First I'm going to make a cuppa and go to bed for an early night, though. Can't stay awake (or get warm).

    I'll see you all in the morning - have only caught up with the last page.

  • Evening all

    LW (((hugs))) and spoons to you and I hope that the tiredness passes soon.


    OH took me to town this eveing and I got a nice dress and cardigan for our day at the races tomorrow, although if the weather today is anything to go by I'll be wearing my waterproofs and wellies.

    Since coming back I've sorted dinner, S&S's the kitchen and prepared all the the sandwhich filling, pasta salads etc for tomorrow.

    Just going to sit down with a glass of red and watch some carp telly.

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend
