Okay, so I was really naughty yesterday as I'm struggling with an OU assignment atm (due in tomorrow :eek:) so housework has fallen away a bit, but hoping to catch up somewhat today - my list is now ENORMOUS!

that was my excuse last week :rotfl:

what course are you doing?

6 weeks and counting.. until the little ships go back to school.. DD3 has been out all day and has been an absolute witch since she got in, DS2 is being special and encouraging DS3 to also be special. DD4 and 5 are just being irritating making stupid noises constantly. Squeak is again refusing to eat and Dot has squawked most of the day as usual.. I just want them all to go away and let me have some peace.. and I don't even get a reprieve from DS3 this weekend as he can't go to KH's as he hasn't been trained by the dietician so cannot work out the correct insulin requirement.. I may cry..

Hi all

Just a quick post - stil not well here, but no worse which is good! Rang work to confirm I wouldn't be in the rest of the week.

Sorted out the birds and cat this morning, but was woozy and stayed in bedroom all morning with several cuppas. Felt better after a shower and tidied bathroom and bedroom and did 15 mins ironing and put things away.

Rested again this aft, after OH did lunch, watched tv, and played on my iPad! He has been sorting a mountain of his paperwork today, and I've just started pottering again to help with a quick meal - I felt I wanted to 'potter' agin which surly is a good sign!

I'm glad that you feel a bit better, Bossymoo, but don't do too much and I'm sorry to hear of your really sad news, Funfairprincess. How awful for you and all the family. I've been to funerals where someone hasn't been because they were too distressed, and have never known anybody not understand and respect that, you must do what feels right for you.

Warm vibes and warm wishes to everyone, especially those feeling down or poorly, and off I go again! (I hope to fly a bit tomorrow!!).

PS. Is it mumto5 who has got the manager from hell? Is there a Human Resources dept you can contact? Don't let any stroppy t@@t like that beat you. Hugs x

Well done LW....very brave xx

Hope the rashy one is better soon Dusty...have been checking my littlies all week as been in contact with chicken pox...been praying they dont start with it due to holiday xx

j.e.j.

Got a bit of housework done this morning before it got too hot! It's baking here and it seems everyone's out sunning themselves.

Feels like I've not got much Flying done this week, but I guess even a little bit each day is better than nothing..

This morning I just hoovered the kitchen and living room floor and gave the kitchen bin a good wash!

FFP.. are you coming to see me then? I am pleased your SIL's were nderstanding.. tbh I wouldn't care who did or did not go to a funeral.. grief is very personal and some people like to remember people in their own way.

Yes I have booked my place at the fair for my trailor the only problem being that I sold ours when we came home from yours last year so now I'm starting to panic as I cant afford brand new so I will need to get one asap so anything needed fixed can get done before we go out. I'm just hopeing that the one I see at the weekend will be ok, it needs a fire but thats no probs and can get one of the men to fit and test for me. It has 5 beds so DD wont have to sleep with us which will be great cause although the bed in the other van was kingsized I still got stuck with a tiny edge and feet or elbows in my back! Feel free to start packing my babies things for her to come home with me:D:D


Fly wise I have done dinner and washed up. While dinner was cooking DD and I made blueberry and white chocolate muffins with the 20p woopsied blueberrys I got:money: and we have just made blueberry icing and put that on and I have washed up again. OH and DS2 away to a stunt show at the theme park and DS1 still not in from work yet. I think I will bring the washing in from the line then sit and do some cross stitching.

Right... she's packed!!!

She'll be ideal for you, she doesn't move or do anything annoying (other than the constant awakeness and screaming) ... Good job I am thankful for the being healthy and able to be loud and pesky..

I'm going to get a cuppa and some juice and sitting here for the remainder of the evening with my knitting..

and Elyssia..

and maybe fold the washing and hang some more out..

and maybe empty and reload the DW...

maybe I'm not going to be getting much knitting done!

Evening! Wow, it's been hot here today and is still very warm now. I've given some rather warm looking furries some ice pops!!

Today I have spent a bit too much in Mr A, washed the bedding, cleaned most of the bathroom, done a load of washing up of tubs, etc., read over a week's worth of papers, done half the shredding and a few other little jobs.

List update to follow.

I'm planning on going into school tomorrow to do some sorting and filing - I may need to go in on Friday too!!


Mumto5 - Hugs; hope you can get something sorted soon x

Nanamia - hugs for you too x

Boddy - yay! Good to have you back - take it slowly x

FFP - so sorry to hear your news; hugs and prayers for all x
