    sounds like they're making good progress on the floor... so hopefully it will be finished tomorrow. Just waiting for a friend to come over so that we can go for a walk, which should warm me up!

    Hoppy Birdday Natty.

    Brrrr, it's c-c-cold in Concrete Cow Country; had to venture out earlier; Mr LW wanted some stuff from town, so Muggins here had to go along with him, so as to use my blue badge and therefore park for free. I did need to go in myself though, to book an appointment with the optician, so that's done - got to go next Friday - Mr LW will be wfh, and I've got the appointment for after he finishes.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Hello :) I'm here,lol :)

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATTY AND ALL THOSE I HAVE MISSED XX

    I have started half term off with yet another cold - I think it's just the nature of my job working within a special needs school - the germs just circulate!

    I am going to do a toots list this evening - it is going to take me some time but I'm going to do it while I am in the mood :)

    I've also been doing a lot of thinking about what I want in life and going to get working on it - we only have one and I intend to do with it what I really want to :)
    I have got to make the most of this week with regard to FLYing - I've been lazy today but I see it as resting to conserve energy and get better for the week :)

    I'm going to have a look at the list now and see what needs doing :)

    Have fun FLYing all :)
    Jen x
    Everything happens for a reason :)
