Morning all.

Hugs, vibes, spoons, sticks, congrats, good luck & well wishes as needed. Too tired to think straight atm so I've completely forgotten everything I've read. Of course it doesn't help that I've been interrupted multiple times as I started reading posts about 8am!

Just about to start the paid stuff. Its going to be happening all day, and I have a horrible feeling its going to drag as a result Oh well, I'll take regular, short coffee breaks and plow through it.

I cleaned the bathroom yesterday so there's not much to roll over to Friday which is when I'll next be free, in theory, to fly. I will flutter occasionally too just to give me something else less monotonous to do. Time to make a fresh cuppa and start unpacking this delivery.

I've found the cloth for the floor part of the steam cleaner This makes me silly happy as I thought OH had chucked it out in the move...I can now cut the other cloths to size (oh my how sad I am for being this excited over a steam cleaner cloth!)

They do so much for us, you wouldn't believe. ......

So, what I tend to do is give them my time. I help with all their techy things (recently laptops, wifi and iPods) and invite them to lots of social things (they don't have much other family) and of course they spend time with the littlies as much as they like.

Awww sounds what a fab set of inlaws. I tried getting SW3 & 5 (Scallywags, our kids ) to give the money but they would get if back to 'put in your money box' so I can truly empathise. The only other thing is to save it up and book treats for them, meals, theatre trips etc.

Flyladies, you have to help me...

However in them are things like Christmas and Birthday Cards, which I tend to never want to throw away...

I do the same and thin them down every now and then. I am so peased I kept cards from DH as they are one of my last tanigle kinks with him. So don't feel sentimental, they don't take up that much room and like photos they evoke a lot of good memories HTH x

I had another weep today; our clerk (AnWsmum, you DO know her IRL:)) has a daughter who has just gone to Manchester and I fessed up to crying at the weekend and we both had another weep.

Ah so that is why I have not seen her car recently!

Good morning fellow flyers. Its been one of those mornings I was rushing around to get into college only to find out that I wasn't meant to be in until 10, oh well not too worry I have got some of my homework done for later in the week.

I finish college at 2 today so I will make a start on flying list once I get back home, as I have a lot of things to get done this week, including giving the bathroom walls another coat of paint, as the white is stil showing through.

Clothes in dryer, 2 lots of bedding in washer and that's about it so far. One of the fish we bought Monday has died but testing the water has shown good results so we don't know why. The 2 female fish seem happier without him though lol

AnW'sMum

More prep for messy done and some washing up done.

I wonder if some of you could like our messy church page on fb https://www.facebook.com/messychurcheckington I want to get it on peoples news feed but need a few more likes. There aren't loads of posts so it shouldn't clutter you news feeds.

Thanks in anticipation
