I'm out tomorrow, working Monday and have a funeral Tuesday. Didn't want to be rushing round on Sunday.

Dailies done
Kitchen and bathroom floor washed again.
Recycling all out.

Hugs sticks and spoons where needed.

Skint.. they are both lovely.. such a proud big brother there

Mumof2_2

Awwww Skint they are both lovely - I will not get broody, I will not get broody!!

DH and DD just left as they're going to see MIL in Cornwall for a few days so me, DS and Pip are here. DS has been begging me to let him sleep with him and he's such a little poppet I will let him; he sleeps all curled up like a little mouse, bless him.

All my flying is done and I'm determined to make the most of free listing and put a few things on Fleabay - photos taken, just need to list them.

Non flying related question for ladies of a 'certain age'
I thought AF had come first thing but now no sign - I'm going shorter in between times and get this funny 'spotting' sometimes a few days before the real thing. Hope you don't mind me asking but is this a sign of the 'change' on the way ? I'm 46. Hope no-one minds me asking.

Mumto2 this is not medical advice. I get the same usually exactly 7 days before the real thing (now for the yucky bit, it is not fresh and red but browner and just spotting). If you are at all concerned though you should go to your GP. I'm a few days off 46 and it has been happening for approx a year. My cycle is on the whole the same length but sometimes a couple of days short (never longer, I think that is what comes next)

Back to the flying - I've made DS3's bed.

bossymoo

Aww lovely piccies thank you ladies :T:T:T:T

Where did today go? We did vac the book case, and sorted all the books. There is a pile that can go to nursery. And I did a wash, cooked dinner and cleaned up aft. Not done beds but we are tidy.

We'll be out tomorrow morning, in fact a really busy weekend...
