Wow it's all go here, isn't it?
I'm just home from paid stuff and briefly flipped through Fred. Expecting kiddies home any time so will have to dash off and sort edibles.
Paid stuff all gone according to plan (apart from one mis-addressed email but I managed to recover it :eek:) and I've been really good with not snacking today, so I can have myself a proper something for supper!
Probably wont get much flying done tonight, MIL will be here and kiddies, obviously, so will just keep on top of kitchen stuff.
