I've been to ToysRus to pick up my stuff and to Mr As to get the stuff for Beavers tomorrow. Since I've got back I've put shopping away, brought washing in and hung next load out, emptied and reloaded WM, finished hoovering the stairs and hoovered the hall. I need to finish the last bits in the conservatory now so I can hoover up in there.NST #10 Steps 7K 2/30 10K 2/12 5 a day 3/30 NSD 0/20

Afternoon all! Hope everyone's had a lovely weekend!
Been at work this weekend so not had a proper 'do' really, just been making do with dailies.
Had a really productive afternoon on friday though. changed the bed covers which I always leave to the OH. It knocked me for 6 though, literally flying round doing that! Ended up falling asleep on the sofa for a couple of hours! I'm convinced its the hayfever tabs I've been taking, they never normally affect me, but I think I'll be switching to non-zombie ones!

*Staggers in and flops on sofa*
We're safely home; got back yesterday after a second ferry fiasco *rolleyes*
Five machine-loads of washing done - and all dried (hooray); email and finance spreadsheets all dealt with and up-to-date.
Mr LW is still on leave for tomorrow, so won't be flying then I guess - I'm planning to try and get up to scratch with the things I need him to help with, but he's still in holiday mode.:rotfl:
Hopefully back on track, even if only at Level One, from Tuesday - but please note the use of the word "hopefully".;)
Sorry, I haven't been able to keep up with Fred - although we had internet access in our hotel room, it was only for a few hours over the week (or would have cost us more); plus I had an impatient Mr LW tapping his feet as he wanted to go out for more Hoegarden Rose - for the uninitiated, this is a very nice wheat beer with fruit, which has been brewed as a summer "quaffing beer" iyswim.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

Well I'm back from my weekend away having spent far too much again
Had a text from DD1's grandma who was cat sitting of me, one of the cat's has a swollen face and when she came in we noticed that she seems to be limping to, so I'll be calling the vet in the morning, could do without the extra expense this month
I really need to sort out my budget as I've let it slide and I know I haven't paid certain bills and thanks to the c.s.a not coming some DD's have now bounced :mad:
I've just checked the calendar, lots to do next week but hope to keep up with the flying. DD1 starts her work experience next week but the place she's going to isn't open on Mondays so I shall have her flying with meand hopefully we might get some of the garden before my boyfriend comes down on Thursday.
DD1 cooked tonight so need to load the DW when I can be bothered to get up. I'll also load the WM not that there's much left to do0 -
LW glad you had a good trip. Enjoy tomorrow as a day off - they happen rarely! You can worry about flying on Tuesday.GC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500
