    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Thanks bonnie, I don't mind walking, I hate the bus as it makes me feel sick :o but I use the car to take my dad to his appointments and to his club each week. He's now refusing to go to his club as I can't take him which is giving my mum more stress :( He's hard work at the best of times :o

    Saying some for your colleague froddington.

    Slow progress as dd isn't well - high temp and headache so anything noisy is out of the question, and she needs a lot of tlc. Bit cross at school who made her stay and go to dodgeball after school despite her feeling poorly since morning break and having eaten virtually no dinner. But at least she didn't have to dress up today! Dh off tomorrow so he can work on listys and feed dd calpol.

    I dont know where I am re the lists, but we are quite neat. Had the bedding washed and out on the line this morning, baked flapjacks and gingerbread men, made stew for dinner, cleaned up the kitchen then took the tots out for lunch to gramps golf club which was fun.

    They fell asleep in the car on the way home, and have been playing and watching tv while I did more housework, and they even helped tidy their toys away.

    Anyway, so far this week the bathrooms are done, floors swept few times, mopped once, dusted round, cleaned kitchen three times a day lol, and worked three days.

    So not too bad so far!

    Oh and I ordered our ehic cards ready for our hol next month yaay. Kids at gran's tomorrow so might get a bit more organised!

  • Been at horrid work today, so no flying done at all.

    However, lovely new gadgets have arrived in the post to make life easier - a soft dusting brush for the Dyson, and a DustBuster - I was apparently the only person in the country not to have one! Have already tackled cobwebs on window frames while waiting for the kettle to boil.

    Onwards and upwards!
