    Well, after doing naff all today, I had a quick shimmy around the kitchen and made dinner.

    Went into town for DD's packed lunch stuff tonight and got rid of the recycling. Came home and decluttered a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers - must be all those calories burned today walking 10+ miles around the lake :o

    Watched Grand Designs and that new foodie programme - Simon Hopkinson - my oh my, I wish I had smell-o-vision - I'm certain I could taste it.

    Power walk in the morning with mate at 8.30 before work, so must get my head down now. Jobs 1 and 2 tomorrow so definitely no time for flying, but I'll be back Wednesday afternoon.

    Hugs to those in need ......

    I know it looks as though I've been super lazy, but I was being very thorough with the jobs and having to take breaks for my chronic morning sickness and general tiredness - am hoping this improves in the next few weeks although my hypermobility is now starting to play up too, it never ends! :rotfl:

    Hope everyone else is having a more restful night.

    Positive vibes for your friend Dusty. I hope it's all worry for nothing.

    DS3's PE bag turned up at school! I ran around like a mad thing looking for it yesterday morning.

    Kitchen floor hoovered. 3 loads of washing hung out on the line. my evening was spent ironing.

    I have a non working day today so will tackle some dedicated flying and decluttering. My car is filthy so I will take it to have its quarterly makeover.

    I must put some bits on eBay. I'm skint after holiday and paying for my car insurance.

    Good day wishes to everyone.
