  • Good afternoon :D

    Not much flying this morning. My LR floor is covered in puzzles at the mo. there is no point attempting anything in here until after 5.30 when they all go home!
    I have been to Lidl for a few bits of shopping, including some wet weather gear for Miss T and a new laundry basket.

    I have been looking into getting my TD looked at (broke down before our holiday in August). I was toying with the idea of getting a new one as it's less hassle :o I tried the man that fixed the DW last year, but the number doesn't work anymore :( so I tried a local firm, and they have suggested that I take it down there for a free estimate & save myself a call out fee :T That will have to wait until DH is available, so probably the weekend. I will have to hope the rain stops soon :o

    Ok - lunch now for me & Miss T (while she covers more floor with Duplo!)
  • Busy morning! Now lunch. Then the last few bits. May even have time to watch a bit of telly before I collect the kids :D

    Afternoon all

    zero flying done so far, well apart from loading WM.

    Just finished lunch then I'll unload WM and have loads of governor paperwork to attend to so I'll do that and see how much of the list I can do when I've bored myself senseless!

  • Going great guns this morning feeling rather :A.

    So far I've got most of todays flying done :j. Also washed LR Window and patio doors. Took down the 2 sets of curtains and tie backs 1st pair washed and back up, 2nd pair in wash. Cleaned glass cabinet, and mirror in hall and dining room while I had the windowlene out. dusted all lounge including high bits and cobwebed. Hoovered lounge, hall and kitchen. Done a load of washing and put on airer. Been to Breakfast club shift at work. Fed animals, emptied the bin, unloaded and reloaded DW. Just decluttered lunch and will be going back to work my after school club shift in a bit.

    When I get home from work I'll wash down the walls, dust sofas and wash sofa throws. Methinks I should get neighbour round to feed the cat more often if it's gonna have this sort of effect on me. :rotfl::p

    Only thing to do is the heating! And I've done all the dishes, just have to put them away once dry - one of those things that just don't get done when you are on back to back shifts for multiple days in a row! Now time to make dinner...the candles are on so my home smells like vanilla...and life is looking good!

    Tea is another desperate NEED!

    Thank you one and all for the thread :)

    Kinda glad its the LR today... Ironing basket was brought in here with the best of intentions yesterday, but is still just sitting there.... :o Now I may be forced to actually do something with it!

    Uni done for today, another few sessions of the assessments completed and it is absolutely HORRID weather here... I have to go out to Karate with LO at 5.30pm...and I just dont want to!! *stamps foot*

    I declutterd Mr Jo today too...its been in the post for about a week but thats that. Rather than wasting all my tissues I think I will just put my effort into the house instead... Better that than ending up with a disasterous new hairdo.... :(

    So, best get on... IVe got 30 minutes before I leave to pick up DS from Afterschool club, so will see what I can do in that time :)

    LAter xx

    Helen Jelly - I meant to say... I dont know much about the whole ipod thing... I only got LO an MP3 player from Mr T's... but 8GB is a good amount of storage. His was 2gb and we filled it very quickly.

    Google the price new for the model you have seen and compare to other similar models on ebay too. It certainly sounds reasonable, but hopefully someone more knowledgeable with come along and help :D
