    Afternoon, DD2 is off school today. She's full of cold and has a nasty cough, she's slept for hours yesterday afternoon and was still asleep when I took my parents shopping this morning.

    I haven't done as much as I hoped :( but I didn't get back from my parents til just before 12 :eek:
    Stuff I have done -

    Glass recycled at Asda
    Lunch eaten
    Airer emptied
    DW unloaded, reloaded and on
    WM unloaded, reloaded and on
    TD loaded and on
    Dog fed
    Dog crate and bedding cleaned
    Kitchen floor swept

    DD2 has just got out the bath so I'm going to quickly S&S in there

    Back from the paid stuff. DH is WFH and has been loading the washing machine. Unfortunately he ignored my advice to split each pile into 2 and crammed too much into the WM. as you've probably guessed nothing is clean so it all has to be done again. Sigh....

    Kitchen looking good after my HHC before work. Just need to wash the floor now.
  • It is ok I made it out alive just lol. Have started on the list amnd will post later what I have got done also started on a huge frog.
    Lose 20lb in 12 weeks 5/20
  • All 3 levels completed! Wow - that's a first!

    Have made dough for pizza for tea and am about to put more washing on radiators. Must also remember to make DS's bed - his bedding is still in the machine...

    Got a phonecall from work this morning - another staff member absent so I had to go and work with the hot dinners today - 4th time in a week..... What really bugs is that they have advertised for 2 MSA positions - and they have 4 applications that have been sat in the office for 10 days! And they have done NOTHING about them - and we are short staffed!

    Anyway it wasn't too bad today - 1 class out on a trip made it a bit easier...

    Had to walk to work - bike wasn't ready at bike shop, but have since collected bike so I now have wheels again, although funds depleted by the necessity of purchasing new tyre and inner tube.....

    Off to put kettle on.....

    Bossymoo - you are especially in our thoughts at this time - I remember being with my mum on the first anniversary of the death of my dad and it wasn't easy..... 24 years on it still isn't easy, you just get better at dealing with it...

    I had a lovely sit down for an hour with my friend so have now hoovered all of upstairs but feel grim again now.

    Just need to cook dinner and iron a shirt for DS2 for tomorrow and I'm declaring the day done, DH can make our bed when he gets home.

    Hi all

    Nice to see the Soapster posting.:D
    Great news on the thread front is that Natty is going to be joining me from next week :T.
    YAY!! Well done Natty. Are we going to get birdwatching assignments?:D

    Good on ya!:T Actually, I'm jealous; I haven't been able to do the yoga exercises for a few months now because I just don't have the range of movement any more. :cool:

    I'll be lighting a candle tomorrow for Bossy and the little moos and anyone else with a loved-one-shaped hole in their lives.

    Flying wise - Jessie went home this morning, so Mr Dys0n came out and did the carpets in the whole bungalow; I had to empty him twice! I've also removed all the nose-art from the kitchen door and patio door, as well as doing the usual basic kitchen Flying, it being Monday.:o Also made some cherry and coconut buns for Mr LW's lunch box, as he took the last cake that was in there with him this morning.

    The good news - Dylan's returning on Wednesday for another 5-day stay.:T:T:T He'll think this is his 2nd home soon!:rotfl:

    Thinking of you Bossymoo and little ones x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
  • Evening all

    Hi there.

    Lifting my head above the parapet to say hello to all the lovely fly people, new and old. I've done sweet b.a. since the marathon clean on Thursday morning as I came down with a really bad cold on Thurs evening, which has poleaxed me. It came on within 20 minutes, step by step! I've not had such a runny nose in years and have been so tired and dizzy. Today is the first day I haven't felt worse, so that is an improvement!

    OH has been a brick and looked after me and the animals, and has taken next door's dogs out each day. I hope to be on the mend from tomorrow, but send all good vibes to everyone feeling poorly - it sounds like Wendywitch's DD and Dustykitten have a bad bug too, so I do hope you get better soon. Lamewolf, I do hope you soon start to feel stronger and in less pain soon, too.

    Bossymoo, special thoughts to you and the little two moos for tomorrow. I'll be lighting a candle tomorrow as well, just as it's getting dark, and send lots of love your way. R x

    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    I'd really like to start doing this, but am confused by the Level 1,2,3 thing...do you just allocate whatever needs to be done, into different levels?
