lil_me

Sorry was very quick post yesterday, and a late one, my PCs broken so had to sneak on laptop in kids room but couldn't find the charger so that didn't last long.

All the bedroom painting is done, the carpets down, the furnitures in but while I was doing that as the boys PCs are packed up at the mo, they went on mine and downloaded some sort of bug! It keeps crashing on me, I'd caught up with readying went to post and pop! It went off. Hopefully get it sorted by tomorrow, or at least find the laptop plug.

Puppy went for her op yesterday and is recovering well but took up what little enery I had left last night!

Becca, sure the house can wait, going to see your sister is obviously much more important! House can wait, get that passport thingamy stuff sorted!

Pigpen I hope the appointment goes ok, and you are in a better mood this morning. I understand what you are going through completely. My DP is mean't to be coming to an appointment with me for DS1 this morning but he's decided he's staying in bed, lazy b******. That's without even mentioning the strop he threw in the carpet shop yesterday, he refused to get out of the car, they didn't have the one he liked so refused to even look at any others, then at another shop stood with his arms folded, his foot on the wall, shouting ' I don't care' Reminds me of Kevin! That stroppy teenager off Kevin and Perry!

Right I best go get DS2 to school and then DS1 to his appointment, leaving IT in bed of course. I'll have to do the living room when I get back at 12. Suppose at least I got a few things done when I got up.

Have a good day everyone

I've already been up for ages so it feels like the middle of the day. I have a plan of attack for the day, which i am about to start on. I am slightly tempted to get the kettle on again though first.

I can also see the window cleaners are on the street, so that is another jon that will get done today, which is good cos it is really nice out.

I'm just trying to decide whether to hang the washing out. It's a bit of a faff to get the rotary line out, but on the otherhand, the clothes will be dry by tonight. Oh go then, i will.

Hope the day brings good things for you all.
Michelle, x

right, it looks like there will be no flying for me today.

We have to go into town to sort out my I.D so that I can travel to Scotland next month. What a hassle that is!!! (the paperwork I mean, NOT the travelling) I hate doing that sort of thing. Going in to get pictures taken..waiting at city hall.. blech.

it's worth it for a trip to go see my sis!
work for me this afternoon, and dancing lessons tonight..
Guess the house will have to wait.

Becca

Sorry sis, that you miss your "flying" today. Hope your pictures turn out ok, I hate passport photo's. Can't wait to see you!! Living room will still be there tomorrow!

I have to type newsletter for gymnastics club today. And getting my hair cut. I was going to get it highlighted but at £40 thought I get my friend to do it with a £10 kit. (very moneysaving)

So list for today:

Living room/hall
stairs
tidy kitchen
put WM BM on
type newsletter
haircut

Happy flying everyone!!
