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

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).
Off to get dressed, then prepare to mop my sticky kitchen & conservatory.0 -
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.

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!
) and emptied and reloaded w/m and hung washing out - that took 45 mins all in all.

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.

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.0
