    Lady Libery and Ian, love to your both and thanks for visiting us

    Only flying left for today is to clean the kitchen sink but I'm lighting the fire first it's really chilly here today.

    Hi Lady L, it's good to see you here.

    kazwookie That really is an amazing achievement. It just goes to show that determination and hard work can really bring fantastic rewards. You've done so very, very well. I am delighted for you.

    Hello Football Widow - great user name - we could be twins;). Welcome to the thread!

    Very little flying done today. DS1 started at Tesco and I picked him up at 1pm when I finished work. We came home and had some lunch when the reminder went on my phone for his orthodentist appt that he had booked for 3.10. There wasn't enough time to get the bus so I had to leap back in the car and drive 15 miles to drop him off and then drive back in 15 minutes to pick up the little ones.

    I'm very tired. DH took his phone to bed and didn't turn the sound off. He is deaf so doesn't hear it bleeping all night long. I do and it repeatedly wakes me up.

    I've swept the kitchen floor and cleaned the bathrooms today. The only other addition to my flying is washing all the muddy football kit. I must try and keep up with the list.

    Had to collect DS2 from school and he is excluded until Friday which means I'm home schooling and housebound again. :(
