    I think you deserve a night off, bossymoo - you're usually one of the most active Flyladies in the team! You and skint make me feel lazy :eek:

    But I just keep reminding myself that I am retired and need to conserve energy for the days I am lucky enough to spend with my DGSs and DGDs :D

    We're visiting DGDs 1 and 2 and DGS3 on Friday :j

    Sorry for pinching your post bossymoo x

    Actually, I did try out my new tester pots, on the stairway, which means I actually have to decorate now.

    But not t'nite ;)

    Dusty, I am also schooled in excel spreadsheety thingamebobs. I'm happy to help too, I customise them in my paid wotsit.

    Incidentally, I'm currently in negotiation with my boss man about doing some additional hours :eek:

    Been to the pub with an old friend for the evening, she needed a long chat, not sure I helped much but at least she got to talk.

    Frodders - funny I said the same to Bonnie in a pm earlier

    Bossy/Valli thank you very much for being willing to help me with excel, I think what I want to do is very simple but when I get stuck (I have never set anything up myself) then I'll shout

    Mumto5 yes the one he had the skype interview for. Fingers crossed for your DH tomorrow, I hope it works.

    Right to bed for me. Catch you all in the morning, bathroom cleaning for me.

    Good morning everyone :wave: Am I really the first up? It looks as if we're going to have another beautiful sunny day here, and for the first time in weeks the temperature at 6 a.m. was above freezing :)

    I have already sorted papers on my desk for filing

    To do today:
    - email translator friend re dictionaries to ask if she wants any of my dictionaries
    - shower
    - breakfast
    - tonight's meal into slow cooker
    - dailies: kitchen including window, bathroom, bed (rest of house still clean and tidy)
    - accompany DH to yet another horsepiddle appointment
    - post 2 letters
    - shopping: didn't do this yesterday as I found enough bread for today's breakfast, so decided to have a NSD and eat up bits from fridge :money:
    - ring 6 estate agents in West Midlands re viewings on Friday (did I tell you that we had changed our minds about the house we were intending to buy?) - the logistics of fitting everything into the day are mind-boggling...
    - ring university secondhand bookshop to ask if they'd buy my remaining dictionaries :money:
    - if bookshop says yes, go there = afternoon out in a nice city :)
    - make coffee cakes for DS1, DS2 and DD's families
    - prepare material for the course I'm running on Monday
    - go to folk dance club with DH if he feels well enough

    That should keep me out of mischief :rotfl:

    Morning Ionafan, I'm up too but only just. A busy day here planned. DD and I are going to do a big shop and then spend the afternoon listing things on ebay, if I can sort out buy it now only. Also need to fit in two dog walks. I haven't looked at today's flying list yet but will do soon and will fit in what I can. My own list for the Easter hols isn't getting any shorter!

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
