    Hugs, shellysue. Hope something turns up soon.

    Got up late today after some stupid dreams. I'd hoped that OH would go out with his friend from across the road for a bit, but it doesn't look like it. I'll be playing taxi for him in an hour (he's not allowed to drive) and then I'll be back to flying. Time to come up with my list for the day.

    Today I need to:
    fly and
    research home insurance
    find the missing library book
    buy eggs
    DVLA form
    take plastic rubbish

    Morning, don't think I'll get much done off today's list. Will just be tidying the mess we created yesterday!

  • Good morning :D

    It is VERY wet in the Cotswolds today! We may head into Swindon later, maybe find a cinema or something.

    I have a little list I need to do:
    buy birthday present for Little Miss Sunshine
    buy birthday present for DS (or at least decide what to get him! His birthday is Monday :eek:)
    start packing stuff we don't need for the rest of the week (dirty washing, etc)
    buy some sweets/biscuits for NDN who has been feeding the cat/rabbit

    I was going to do the washing before we left, but I can't be bothered now :o It's a washer/drier, and I don't know how good the drier is.

    Hugs & spoons for those that need them, and I hope any flybabies getting results today have got what they need/want :)
