    Hi all :)
    Thank you for the thread pigpen and toots :) Have become a lurker again I think :( I will try harder x
    Well I start my new job on Thursday :) I have been trying to get this particular job for 6 years so I'm really happy :D Tis my last day off tomorrow so I'm going to do a bit of flying and spend some time with my boys also :) It will all depend on whether they go out as to how much time I spend flying to be honest. I have promised myself that I will do at least an hour cleaning after work every evening and more at the weekend but I am hoping that the harder I work now the more free my weekends will become in time :)
    I'm glad that Wednesday is for flying in the bedroom because that is definitely what I need to work on next :)
    Will catch up with you all soon, hugs and love to everyone xx
    Jen x
    Everything happens for a reason :)

    Morning all, well BIL went to surgery last night and got 3 incisions (sp) into his thigh to help with the swelling, they have been left open for now. God love him he's panicking about work and money. They only have his wage coming in. My sister is heading up to be with him now..:(

    I'm so worried about how sister will cope, the landlord still hasn't fixed there fire so they can't light it nor has he fixed the pipe for the oil tank so they've no heating at all. My sister doesn't cook so i was thinking i might do some batch cooking tomorrow and leave it down to her. I don't know what else to do that could be useful, any suggestions warmly welcomed???? :o

    Right i'm gonna grab a cuppa and torment the transport man...:D
    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.
    :j :j

    I have my list, going out in just over an hour so will see what I can do and post when I get back.

    I managed to get DH to help me with a couple of things last night and I have already decluttered stuff to the garage this morning. I have a couple of unpacking bits I want to do but am buying some things in town to help me with that first.

    See you all later.
