PenPen - congrats on and good luck with the new job!
Happy Birthday to Jue's DD!

I deleted lots of e-mails last night (although not 8000 :eek:) and this morning I've taken down the Christmas cards before having breakfast and a cuppa. Time to get OH up now. It's going to be a busy one.

Hi - I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and have done a little flying but I thought I'd be more likely to put some effort in if I went public! So - am trying for level 3 today as I'm just about to take the children to MIL's for a few hours so will have a bit of time.
Can someone direct me to Toot's Master decluttering/cleaning list? I can't get the link to work in the intro post.
Many thanks and here's to some happy flying!

I've had a few goes at this in the past, even tried to draw up my own rota but have never done that well, partly because I'm never at home for the same time each week.

For those who haven't done their tax returns yet... I just tried to log on to the Govt Gateway, and it wouldn't accept my password, so I changed it, and when I got the new password (you have to provide details for EVERY service you use through it - blood donor details etc)... it wouldn't accept that either :cool:

I'm going to try a different browser, and then a different machine, but bear in mind it might take a while. I seem to remember I had this problem last year too...

My advice is to start now

Morning oldies and newbies and inbetweenies

Getting nowhere today

WM on and WM1 on the maiden and that is it other than changing DS1's theory test as he has not even started to learn any of it and I'm not having him waste my money, I'll keep rescheduling it until I see some evidence of it being learnt;)

Shower in a minute and then to DH's office
