  • Fab news Ionafan - looks like busy days ahead of you xx

    Dusty - feeling so much better now, thanks. My HHC turned into 2 hours, but all my phone calls are done, bar one, so I'm really chuffed. Some weren't urgent but there were a few that I've been saying "I must chase that up" for a while now, but putting them off to do other things. Now there done, I can free up space in my head. Also set up another email account so that I could unblock my proper one and deal with urgent emails today.

    Physio done, dog taken on a "relief" walk but needs another. Decided it's an easy tea tonight - eggs/beans on toast sort of thing - so got out of cooking dinner :j I start work at 5pm on Mondays, so the thought of having proper dinner at 4.15 never appeals as I'll only get the munchies around 8 tonight.

    Flying-wise NOTHING - Must try harder!

    Bossy - what a bargain you've got there! I never have such luck.

    Right, must shift myself and do HH something now before I set-off to work - join in if you wish

    See you later

    TMD xx

    Fabulous news Ionafan. So happy for you.

    DD2 is at gymnastics. I was going to stay down there but there was nowhere to wait. I'm to old to sit cross legged on the floor. I've come back and the boys have broken the garage door again. Grrrr!

    I told DH it was pointless doing DIY fixes. The mechanism is well and truly gone. I need to google a fixer.
