    Sorry for the delay in posting the Friday list I couldn't get connected to my internet for over 2 hours. For some reason my usb access point wasn't playing ball for some reason :( Anyway I played around, clicked a few boxes and it seemed to work :D Anyway the list is up now - enjoy :D

    I've been thinking about this and as the forum is shutting tomorrow at 7pm, till who knows when. I have made a decision - I'm being brave..lol And hopefully Dusty will agree with me on this :D
    FOR ONE DAY ONLY I AM SUSPENDING FLYTALK ONLY ON A FRIDAY.

    So basically you can talk about anything - waffle away :D But it is only for one day and only because we are having shut down imposed on us :D

    Hello :j Good to hear from you :D xx

    Evening all. I ended up going into work yesterday and doing a load of sorting and filing which really needed doing. Today I have been shopping and spent some time with Dad and tomorrow I am going to London to see Rock of Ages :D

    Some flying will be done in the morning before I head off but most will be over the weekend so, as we can't post, I'll just hope someone is joining me in rather a lot of HHCs :o

    I'm going away on Tuesday and Dad will be feeding the ratties so I have to leave the house looking respectable!!

    Off to track down and add to my list .........

    Hi Dusty I've been at cricket with my nephew today. We all had a good time. My family are still driving me to distraction.

    I've set the cat amongst the pigeons and asked my sister to babysit when we go to DH's aunts funeral. She doesn't even realise she is deceased yet!

    Clean ironed sheets on our bed tonight. I must be feeling ill. I never iron sheets.

    My foot and leg swelling has finally gone down. I can walk!

    Goodnight all xxx

    Not much flying here since my last post. I've been out to work 3 times, and in between trips 2 & 3 DD and I played on the w11 fit :eek: Good news is I haven't put any weight on since the last time I used it 240 days ago...bad news is I haven't lost any either :rotfl::rotfl: It was a good laugh, DD is scared of my boxing ability :rotfl: Then we had baths, work, take-away for tea (I really fancied fried rice and I can't cook it :o) and we've decluttered an episode of Miss Marple :D I did do 2 loads of washing as well so that hung around the place to dry.

    Tomorrow is shopping day. Told DD I want her up as if it was school and for us to be out to Mr A by 8am so we can get the bits from there before we have to start jumping buses here there and everywhere to get the rest of her uniform. I'm compiling lists now by shop to try and speed the process up. That sounds bad, but she's in between sizes and tall for her age so I have to buy her ladies sizes to get the year out of them & leg length for her smart trousers so thats one shop, unless they have the jumpers in then its another shop for the jumpers, then one for the school specific PE top and hopefully I can get her blazer from there if not then I need to go to another shop and in Mr A I can get her PE bottoms, socks, blouses, pens, and myself some jeans. I need to replace a couple of bits from her wardrobe she's outgrown already as well while I'm at it! :eek:

    Oh and tomorrow night I have work as well! Anyway I've waffled enough. I'm off to get these lists written and as soon as my phone is charged I'm off to bed. :wave:
