    Morning. Just about to jump in the shower. We're all up mad early for some reason so I will be getting some jobs done before the school run today. Just told DD to go and strip her bed and DS to do his. When DH gets up we can do ours. Nice clean bedding tonight, mmm :).
    DD has been invited on a sea cadet camp the same week I am away with DS for cub camp so at least she won't feel abandoned.
    Right, must get shifting now.

    Morning all, :D just thought I'd pop my head round the door to say hello.

    Eventful as usual here, potted history over last year, had job, made redundant, got other job, made redundant, got other job, contract finishes September 1st, looking for job all whilst building my business.

    It's been a busy time!

    Flying wise, we have a beautiful (former) dining room which is now my therapy room, hallway/stairs/landing are just being finished off. All redecorated.

    Bathroom is in a state, we had a leak, bath broke and floorboards had to come up....sheesh.:o we have no shower but now have a new bath installed.

    We have binned off, given away and decluttered most of the house. Still round the corner from Piggers, still haven't seen her...:rotfl:

    My youngest has now finished school and has prom today, my eldest is living nearby and has full time work.

    Other than that I'm just working out how to get to the place where I want to be which is having some time to sort things out.

    Hope you're all well. Huge waves to you all, old friends and new. :) x

    froddington that's so sad ... my thoughts go to friends and family

    skint glad to hear the news wasn't as bad as it could have been.

    Where has the week gone?! Hardly any proper flying done, just been keeping up with the dailies. It's because we have been busy starting to view houses to buy (very exciting!), and also packing to go away this weekend. So last night I did

    S&S bathroom
    S&S kitchen
    Empty bins
    Dust LR and DR
    Hoover all round house
    Make up spare bed (for my cat-sitter to stay over)

    I won't be back home till Sunday. There is a huge mountain of ironing.

    Next week I'll have to buck up my ideas! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend :cool:
