    Been very good chomping at my frog. Very sore hips now so time for a cuppa and a shower and I'll give the bathroom a quick clean whilst up there for good measure and brain space.

  • Good morning :D

    The amatuer plumbing is ongoing in the kitchen. Hopefully it will all be ok & we won't need to pay a professional to fix it :eek:

    The LR looks a hit has been hit with a toy bomb :D Little Miss Sunshine has come to play, so not much flying from me until about 6 this evening I think.

    Oh dear Valli, hope you recover soon. Sometimes you keep going and then when you stop that's when it hits you isn't it. Remember though that you have to feed a cold - that's the best bit! ;)

    Come out of DS's room as traumatised by the amount of gibble I found under his bed - including a tub of pins which had been dropped (thankfully under the headboard so nowhere he would stand). Just about to go in there with the vacuum cleaner and will then sort through his boxes of toys to see if anything can be passed on. I'll do DD's room next time - I promise.

    Right, hold my feet - I'm going in .....

    Well done to your OH. And well done to you for supervising.

    Got a university assignment due tomorrow and I'm a bit behind so flying slowly so far. Kitchen looks much better after Monday, and I've managed WM x 1 every day so far. Also baked bread for the first time in ages yesterday - am counting that as the bake something nice.

    OH not feeling well and just gone to lie down so flying will need to be quiet and in between studies for this afternoon. Will call my DM and tell her I love her today, but its not the only reason for the call - need to give her the results of my research in support of her studies. Definitely need to get her on the Internet so she can do this for herself - have promised a first lesson this week.

    Right, phone call, lunch then back to books.

    Hugs and spoons where needed. Have a good afternoon folks.
