    Morning

    Up and at 'em early for me today. No snow yet but it is forecast today. Then the 'indian summer' tomorrow that they promised us in October :D

    Happy Birthday dorajar, and also to my dad who is 60. I still haven't given him his cake and really need to track him down, he is being elusive...

    Hoping for an early finish today (about 2 if poss) and have a few errands to run. MIL has said she will do my ironing whilst FIL puts my TV up on the wall :A

    Planning a quiet couple of days as DD is over-tired and very beastie. So should have time to catch up with lists and laundry. Back at dentist tomorrow, to have a filling out and re-done. X-rays showed shadow underneath it grr.

    Have also done a bit of virtual paperwork by shuffling some pennies around and consulting my dow jones index (lol, thats what DH used to say when I was checking our accounts online to make sure we were all square :D)

    Flying...

    I decluttered 2 vile nappies, and rinsed out the kettle.. :p
    Pigpen, the Gripe water was for me, tongue in cheek, as I was griping and moaning too much:o:rotfl: Skint Baby Holly has been on the Infacol as all of mine were as soon as they get home from hospital.

    Skint Baby has had her saline nose drops tonight and is breathing a lot easier now:j, so she is not swallowing so much air pulling herself off every couple of seconds, so now she is down for a sleep just time to catch up with Fred then get some much needed shut eye for me:D

    I couldn't find your post so was just making sure.. it no longer contains alcohol so you'd be better with the whisky!
    Morning all.

    Morning all :D

    I want to get on with flying today as I have work tomorrow. I also need to find my roll of paper for trying to sort out my toots/frog list, A4 sheets are just too confusing. I think its upstairs in my room but I may be wrong...

    I spent yesterday pottering, and filing while chucking out loads of old card dividers that were so battered they were more or less useless. I'm slowly chewing the paper frog and long term plan is to go as paperless as possible! ;)

    :bdaycake:

    Happy Birthday to dorajar and bossymoo's Dad!

    DH and I are having a day out today - going to see the winter gardens and snowdrops at Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge :j - and leaving the OJM to get on with his odd jobs. There is no point in trying to fly indoors, but we'll declutter some of the cobwebs in our heads ;)

    Yesterday was awful, with the house in a mess (after being lovely and tidy last week) and the constant noise of the WM, TD and the patio cleaning man's compressor. At least things look better outside - apart from the holes in the asphalt drive which we now have to fill :mad: - and will look even better when I have planted up my new terracotta pot and put fresh bark chippings on the front border to hold the membrane down.

    WM is on again and I just need to fold some socks and we shall be ready :)

    Big (((hugs))) to Mumto5, spoons for all who need them, and fingers crossed for optimistic-mummy. Hope everyone has a good day.

    I am yet to see a coloured evap line.. they are usually grey if they appear at all which they rarely do so if it has any colour it is a positive.. if you do another in a couple of days it may well be screaming at you.. I got so very very faint I wasn't sure and the next day it was singing at me.. the first was so faint I couldn't even get it in a pic to ask a friends opinion.
