    In as a part-timer.

    Wish I didn't have to work as I'd love to do this full-time for a couple of months. Feel sure my house would look loads better if I could.

    Still, be careful what you wish for - don't want to be made redundant!

    Decogecko I for one would be extremely grateful for Reiki; I have found it to be beneficial in the past.:o

    Wendywitch stay strong. The DDs may sulk now, but you'll be doing them no favours if you fold. They'll thank you for it later in life.;)

    Mr LW's mouse has been playing up (NOT, I hasten to add, in the same way that Piggers' naughty mouse does):D so he's re-installed the drivers, and *touches wood* it seems to be behaving itself now.

    Ah, I detect a mug of hot chocolate being prepared.... Night, all.:hello:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Hi, I have not been here for a good few weeks but have moved house so really need to get back to it as I have moved from a very small 2 bed flat to a very large bed 3 level town house, so if I don't start doing some flying I can see it getting far too much to cope with very quickly. I was going to join in yesterday but OH was off work and wanted to go into town for things so ended up out all day and working last night.
    I am going to go away and get kids ready for school now throw them out then I can started on downstairs which is easy as its my bedroom and the front and back door but the cupboard with the coats and shoes might take a while might get lost in there. Going to make up a Toots list later and try get 1 thing done each day on it to get through the decorating and bits and bobs still needing done.
    As for the american sight I had a look at it but when it came to getting dressed first thing I stumbled as I do some of my best flying in my jammies, I stopped being told when to get dressed years ago when I left my mums house so gave up with that one.
