Morning people!
Well I can safely say that as of now I seem to be on the mend, still not 100% but the pain is not half as bad as it was!
I will admit I didnt do much yesterday but have more than made up for it this morning!

Dailies

[STRIKE]wipe down kitchen sides[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]wash up[/STRIKE]
Do a sainsburys online shop to see how much it will come to I didn't actually do this, my ex is having my youngest overnight on Saturday now so me and the Eldest (or is it oldest?) are going to stay at my Mums the night, then on Sunday I can go up her parade of shops which has morissons, Iceland and what I call a Halal shop, lots of spices and good stuffs to be had from there, they also skin chickens too which is fab when you are on a diet! :rotfl:

[STRIKE]Clean baths, sinks and toilets[/STRIKE]
Clear any clutter from desk I don't have a desk, I have a laptop and usually use it on my sofa, which tends to gather paper so have just cleared that!
[STRIKE]Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc [/STRIKE] Gave the lappy a wipe over and done all the switches
Level 3
[STRIKE]Wash your bathroom mats and shower curtains etc[/STRIKE] Done the bath mats in the wash the other day.
HHI
Clean the mirrors

Declutter mission:

Spend HH dealing with Paperwork, filing and shredding I STILL need to do the boxes! I have a friend coming over at half 9for a couple of hours so will really try and do it then!

I have totally de cluttered the hallway aswell this morning, put the bikes and scooters in the shed, got rid of the recycling in the box, and put all the shoes away in the cupboard! I forgot how massive the hallway is!

I also have a man friend popping in for a cupper after he finishes work (he works in a nursing home so finishes late most of the time) he only lives around the corner and we went to school together, there is a bit of 'flirting' going on over messages, nothing sordid (which is good for me!) but I'm not really sure if anything will come of it, he's a proper gent though so he's deffo not coming round to get his leg over! :rotfl:
So we will see how this one pans, out, even if we don't hook up he would be a fab friend to have.
So anyway, I need to sort the boxes out before he comes round as he knows I have lived here 6 months so will deffo think I'm a slob! I can't say the real reason is because in Feb I was going to move again and packed the boxes up as that was like 3 months ago! :eek:

I feel so much better now I'm finally getting on top of things, this is the first time I have sort of stuck to flying, and long may it continue! Thank you ladies :T:beer::j

Morning Flyfriends:wave:

Congratulations mumto5, what a lovely series of synchronicities, a very blessed baby indeed.

Piggers get that ear/jaw/neck thing sorted NOW!!

Lamewolf I hope you feel better today

Not much going on here today, the loo and shower room will get done later. DH is doing some work outside, while the weather holds. We have got washing on the rope so it all good stuff. SS is staying with a friend tonight so just the 2 of us for tea.

Righto, off to do some more. I might have to do some baking later as my tins seem to be empty!!! How did that happen?

Have a good day Flyfriends and Take Care xx

Dustykitten

DKA enjoy!

Sargis I've the doggie story (and I don't do dogs)

Mumto5 how lovely to be an auntie again

Been on a long walk with my friend. About to put the washing on the line and hoover the living room then after lunch I have my gardening job next door and cricket match this evening.

Natty68

Good morning everyone, and thank you to Dusty for the lists this week, from a really lovely sunny Kent! Well that is until the clouds decide to descend on us..lol I am sitting here still in pj’s but I have an excuse – I’ve been watching the birds in the garden.. Not much of an excuse but one I really enjoyed…lol.

As I type this I have Mr and Mrs Woody in the garden – Mr Woody is up in the tree, all fluffed up and looking very important. And Mrs Woody is eating all bird food on the feeder, inbetween cleaning and just staring into space..lol She is determined to pick it totally bare of anything that looks suspiciously like food..lol. We have had a new addition to the garden – a coal tit!! I thought it was a sparrow as it flew through, but it came back and settled down for a feed the other night. And by luck Dave saw it, he was absolutely delighted as we now have a real selection of birds rather than your usual common old garden sparrows and starlings… Mr and Mrs Dove have taken to sitting on my open toilet window (the bit that opens outwards!), gods knows how they fit on it together but they do. And then when you are in there they coo at you..the first time they did it I nearly jumped out of my skin..lol I think they may have cottoned on that I am the one that provides all the nice variety of food for them..

Only the other day we came home from the pet shop laden down with a 2kg bag of peanut kernels, 2kg of different varieties of suet pellets, 1kg of mealworms with insects (eww!!) and a very big bag of mixed robin food. And this is just for the month, we’ll have to do it all again next month..lol Plus we already had a 12kg bag of mixed seeds out in the black bin.. I tell you these birds get better food than we do.. lol

I have also been watching the sparrows feeding their young in the garden.. It’s so lovely to watch, even the cat was fascinated from the safety of his “ampitheater” (behind a couple of plants). It’s okay he has no intentions of catching a bird, he really doesn’t have any idea as he’s an indoor cat. The most exercise he gets outside is 10mins then he’s howling to come back in again. He can’t even climb a fence, believe me he isn’t built for climbing..lol He was an indoor cat when we got him and we have always encouraged this, it does seem to work as he is so much more happier curled up asleep somewhere or chasing my other cat at 90 miles an hour around the house up and down the stairs..!!!

I had a wee sparrow fledgling sitting on my whirly gig being fed by it’s mother earlier, I was terrified he was going to fall as he was flapping about so much. But no his mother fed him a heck of a lot of food and then herded him over to the pond for a quick drink. Although that didn’t go down very well – he was on the edge and then promptly fell in.. He did get out but I can just imagine his look of indignation.. He ended up staying under the sambucca preening himself with his mother nearby standing guard!! I think Mr and Mrs Blackbird are nesting as I have only seen them one at a time and not together like they normally are. And Mr Blackbird (Hoody) looks a state – all bedraggled and unpreened like which is normally a guide to them nesting etc..

Asbo robin has been around doing his usual asbo bits, he is now taking on the starlings. I think he also has a baby somewhere as he is flying in and out rather a lot more frequently now. Our chaffinch pair are still around and looking very nice. They sit on the fence outside my French doors looking in at us, which is a real delight to see. They are a lovely looking bird and one of Daves favourites, so he is happy.

I’m working on Dave to get some chickens at the moment, I’ve already found the coop and priced it all up. Just have to convince him..before my friends chicks are too big, as I am hoping to get a couple off her when they are grown.

Unfortunately I haven’t been doing much flying, although the house is looking okay with the bit I am doing. I stupidly trapped a nerve in my back twice, and am still recovering from the second time at the moment. Don’t ask how I did this as I have no idea on the first time, on the second time I just stretched in bed and was in agony to the point of being sick..!! Painkillers and warm baths are helping, as is reasonable rest when I can. So I try and get housework things done in the morning while the painkillers are working and then I can rest in the afternoon – well that is supposed to be the plan but most of the time it doesn’t work like that as I end up doing stuff…lol

Oooh I had a compliment from a friend, that I hadn't seen for over 6 weeks, yesterday when I visited her. She said she thought I had lost weight - don't know how though as I am still eating and haven't gone on a diet. The only thing we can think it could be is where I now go swimming with T and her football team of children every week. Ok I don't actually swim but I do splash about and I am normally "swimming" with the baby (not mine, her youngest foster child!) Maybe this is actually having an effect.

Will swap for aquilegias

You're over run with these as well greenbee? I have them sprouting in odd places as well as in pots with other things. I only had one about 5 years ago in a totally different place to where the others are now. I am imagining my poor neighbours have aquilegias all over their gardens curtesy of me..lol

I've just read how much your shopping bill was from Tesco's Piggers and my mouth is hanging open in shock.. If I spent that much DH would have a hissy fit in the middle of Asda... He gets the twitters if I spend over £50 one week..:rotfl:

Lots of hugs and positive vibes for all those that aren't well or in pain..

Going to have my shower now my battery is low on the lappy...lol

mrs-moneypenny

just back from mils, ended up finishing ceiling, taking some tiles off, removing 1 grab rail, shower curtain rail, shower adjuster bar and taking lino up. so only got time now for a quick check in and change ready for work. 2nd grad rail was just too tightly screwed on for me to shift. so DH will have to do that later.

Natty love the birdy update
will do my own bathroom after work, 'see' you this afternoon
