    Good Morning Ladies

    Thank you for they new thread Dusty. The list looks manageable and I will do my best to complete it today. Anything to take my mind off going to work.

    Happy birthday Bonnie

    DH left early this morning and is away tonight. His ear op doesn't seem to have helped and he is a bit down. He's going to ring the consultant to try to get an appointment tomorrow evening.

    Just ordered DS3's birthday present, I used quidc0 so will get a little bit back. I'm still trying to contact the company we want to do his party with but they don't return my calls.

    I hope everyone has a successful flying day.

    Welcome Highland Lass.

    Morning All :wave:

    Thanks for the lists this week Dusty, I am in again this week, hope you are all well. I am flying just not getting much of a chance to post.

    I blew my top on Saturday with DH, he has 2 weeks off as the kids are off & I spent my 2 days off cleaning, shopping etc, while he took DS swimming on Sat morning, went to fix someone’s sewing machine later on & then a pool table after that. Sunday he was away at a pool tournament from 10am – 9pm so I was not a happy bunny!!! As I was leaving this morning, he said to send him a list so I will send him todays with a few added extras of my own mwahahahah, WM is only new so filters & drawer are fine.

    I finally got curtains up on Saturday so LR is officially done, just need to wait on a delivery date for my new suite which will probably be the end of May :(

    Happy Birthday Bonnie Bumpkins :bdaycake:

    Will check in later with a nice cuppa:coffee:

    Morning all and welcome thisisme and cupca

    Happy Birthday Bonnie

    Ionafan, I use these

    WM is on, going to make a cuppa then have a shower, put some stuff in the loft and bring the hoover down.

    I want to try to sort out what cricket stuff DS3 needs today, go to Mr L and maybe Mr M and walk to the lakes possibly with DS3 to show him the high ropes thing they are constructing.

    Morning folks

    I'm in again but RL is very busy at the moment, so I am better off doing, rather than reporting on what I have done, so I do more, if that makes sense.

    Happy Birthday Bonnie

    And Happy Birthday to anyone I have missed

    Welcome to all the newbies

    Thanks to DK and natty for all the lists.

    Hugs / cups of coffee / kicks up the b um (take your pick) to those that need them.
