    Morning all!

    Dear Madam (dog no 1) decided she needed the loo at around 5 this morning - DH let her out but I decided as I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep not to bother! So the sheets are in the WM and should be out on the line before I leave for work (in London today on a course :( ) and 3 washloads of ironing done!

    Will see what I can get done tonight - not too much done on the flying front this week but the house is still looking pretty good!

    Have a good day everyone!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

    :p I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy! :p

    Morning all

    It's a foggy morning. More stuff leaving for new owners this morning and the holiday pot will have more pennies. :)

    Also dropping of a bag of stuff for my charity's rag collection.

    This morning I have put wm on and planted sunflower & Sweet pea seeds. Referreed several arguements. Put name in DS2 new coat.(it's mud coloured and a bargain).

    Morning all,

    Not dropped in since I shared my news, as I've had my scan and a doctor's appointment, and been working loads this week (including babysitting in the evenings), so have been really tired when I've got in.

    I have to admit that I've not done an awful lot of flying myself, but as Moon is off work today, I've been giving the orders to fly very well. He's just washed the sheets from last week, ready to change on Sunday, and they are hanging out on the line (first load outside this year) :) I'm working this afternoon, but I'm going to make sure I put the trousers that are hanging up on my wardrobe doors (can't do them up now) are put away safely, and the load of washing that Moon did the other day is put away too. Recycling bins being collected today too, so will try to do a 27 fling boogie.

    Happy flying everyone.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Well I put the shopping away, the bread dough in the oven (and the resulting loaf looks fab, if I say so myself - sent DH a pic of it and he wanted to know why I was sending him a pic of a loaf from the supermarket! :D) and emptied and reloaded w/m and hung washing out - that took 45 mins all in all.

    Now for some list work! :D

    Little heart warming story for you. My just turned 6 year old DD entered a Mother's Day competition run by our local Specsavers which she did at school. When asked why her Mum should win new designer glasses and a makeover she wrote "My Mum is beautiful, she wears glasses and is spectacular." She won! :T I'm feeling a bit emotional tbh.

    Thursday/Friday:
    [STRIKE]WM & line x 2
    empty DW
    Hoover lounge
    dust & polish lounge
    clear gibble on my table - made a start on this yesterday
    clean window?
    Clean mirror[/STRIKE]
    Clear kitchen worktop - half done
    Clean worktop - half done
    Clean hob
    Mop
    [STRIKE]Start accounts[/STRIKE]
    Study

    Only did half of the kitchen tops before DS woke up from nap. Will try to have a little go later, but he's into everything at the mo so it's not easy!

    Afternoon all,

    Valli I have found the thread quiet all week not sure if its just because we are all so busy flying:D or there are fewer of us.

    pigpen - if you havent already gone have a good trip.


    I have had a very productive day with Uni bits and for once feel ahead of the game. Flying has been avoided so will be tackling that shortly. We are going out for tea a friends treat as I have been tutoring her son so I wont have dishes to sort out this evening so will fly until we head out at 6.

    Need to find my list and update shortly will do a HHC at 4.45 should anyone want to join in.
