  • Oh dear Bebee - hope you haven't got the dreaded lurgy. I haven't been brilliant and had a few days off, but my daughter got it worse and a friend has it too - apparently there's a virus going round which is basically a horrible headache that nothing will shift.

    Fortunately my DD is now 16 so if I am ill she can cope (just about!) without me, but when your kids are younger you just have to get on with it.

    Hope you're feeling better soon.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Too nice to do housework here, so I've been on the allotment!

    Will get back to flying when it gets colder, cloudier and rainy!!

    Hugs to everyone.

    Haven't been in at all today. My sister rang me last night to say our other sis had been taken to hospital because she had collapsed. They did loads of tests on her but nothing came back, other than a chest and urine infection, but the poor love is bed bound.

    So we have been watching her little boy today. We took him to playgroup this morning (and Charlie did his 1st painting - one to keep!) then sis went and did some errands with him. Then we went to find the balloons for her wedding.

    The short version is i have said i will go back again tomorrow and play with her DS (1yo) so she can get more rest and try to recuperate.

    So, i don't know what flying i will get done for the rest of the week, but i will try, and then catch up at the weekend if i need to. If i don't check in, you'll know where i am.

    Michelle, x

    Evening,

    Well, ive let my flying slip the last couple of days, but the house isnt looking too bad, and im hoping to get back on track tomorrow.
    Mind you, did clean the bathroom and toilets today, also cut the grass and used the fork on the grass (well, mud with a few grassy clumps) ready for the grass seed im buying tomorrow, in hope that i can rescue what little lawn i have, ready for the Los to play on once the weather gets better. Mind you, was beautiful down here today, much happier in the garden than inside cleaning!!!!
    Bedrooms are always done at the weekend, so not too far behind, and living room will def be done tomorrow, along with whatever lil me decides for us!!!
    Have a lovely evening,
    Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If it is enjoy :) I am pleased as both boys in one room so less to do now, downside tudy is on the list tomorrow and I have made one. Dining area just used to be kitchen but now have bought the table made myself even more work!

    Need to also add to my list (aswell as boys room)

    Dailies
    Night time routine
    3 loads washing/drying/putting away
    Start rearranging all wardrobes and drawers as swapping rooms all our clothes in their room built in wardrobe and vice versa.
    Find discs so can wipe PC and reinstall it all
    1 hour study, have been neglecting it!
    Sort filing cabinet (dropped files when I moved it :o all muddled up )
