    Menu planned for the week and done shopping order which will be delivered on Monday. Got to go and pick in the washing now as think DH wants to go out and it's looking a bit ominous outside.

    Thank you for the thoughts and prayers for my friend Margaret. There is a slight improvement and she is off the ventilator.

    I got 78 in the colour test. Ive always had a problem with colours.

    Hi guys :wave:

    All go here the last few days, council are being !!!!!! as usual but the fact that the side of the house is now coming away from it's foundation and I can see daylight through the gap is sorting stuff out, I hope, they'll probs just come and stick some glue in it. Fab house applied for but I've got no chance.

    Work has been hectic, achingly so and it's been raining so everyone's in and a bit moody (?) inc. the rabbits who are sulking for England lol Done stuff to keep on top of the house though :A

    Had a letter from the Vets this morning, anyone remember my ickle cat Lily who went missing? Someone took her into the vets where I got her chipped as an adopted stray and they scanned her and contacted me, thing is do I want her back after 2.5 yrs, I've debated it all morning and my gut feeling is to let them keep her, it's been too long and she'd probs only nick off back to their house, as long as she's looked after and loved, I would feel mean to both them and Lily taking her back now. Don't know :o and I daren't tell littley, and yet I don't want to not tell her---oooh dilemma!

    Need to tidy the LR- it looks like Basra.

    Every week I've been starting with the best of intentions, but usually don't get past Tuesday without the weeks events taking over and me not doing any flying. I've therefore decided that delagating to my DD's is the best way forward ;)

  • Hello lovely Flyladies! :j

    I am taking a small break from MSE boards for a while - nothing bad just got shed loads to do in the next few weeks and something has to give.

    I did do a seperate post earlier but it got moved (I do wish people wouldnt do that, I put it seperate for a reason). I didnt want you all to think I'd just vanished!

    Will look in now and then but take care all and love and hugs.

    1 step closer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p
