  • But DS is home :j:j and we have the 6th form award ceremony at his old school this evening - he has won an award for 'Outstanding Achievement at Advanced Level' and I am under strict instructions NOT to cheer, whistle, stamp my feet, bang on the table or jump up and down :o I must clap politely. That's all. :cool:

    Ha ha - you sound just like me when I'm watching DS playing footie each weekend. Have a great evening :T

    Quick wipe of kitchen surfaces, around some things. Kitchen floor done. Took about 15 mins. Didn't come up that well. Must remember to get some vim powder. Old fashioned but good stuff.

    Going to rest while I gently glow.
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    Hello all.

    General bugs'n'viruses-begone vibes wherever they're needed.:o

    PenPen welcome to the ranks of the retirees.:D

    New Job Congratulations to Mr Good Intentions and Deus.:T

    Jaybee it sounds like life has been unkind to you of late – hopefully it will all start to improve now. Welcome back; just take babysteps til you get back into the swing of Flying.:o

    Msgnomey I hope your back's a bit better today.:o

    TMD Sensible gene? What's one of those then? Mr LW had a birthday card that said “Keep Calm and Carry On Boozing” - he's 63.:D

    I had to get Mr Dys0n out again last night; I could still see a load of Jessie-hairs on the lounge carpet.:eek: And I just got an email asking if I'd like Dave the Yorkie to stay from Thursday til Monday.:T
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Hi all, been fluttering in the background for the last couple of weeks as seems so busy.
    Today's status: GOOD THINGS
    - house not totally gone to pot in last 2 weeks
    - have posted last card (by posted I mean ones with stamps on; still have a few to drop off locally)
    - although I will be 4lb short of target weight by Christmas, have lost 9lb since Oct 1st despite several Christmas outings already

    BAD THINGS
    - hellish virus returned or maybe it's a new one. Not lost voice this time but headache/shivers/snuffles
    - haven't yet got spare room ready for visitor's arrival next Sun
    - the longer I spend typing this, the less flying I'll get done........

    So HH or maybe even an hour coming up RIGHT NOW.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
