Good afternoon all

Thanks Natty and Dusty for their respective lists and please count me in for this week, although it might be a bit more hit and miss than usual:

Tuesday, I'm out from about 12.00 noon to 4.15-4.30 pm, so hope to get both some paid bits and pieces and flying done before and after.

Wednesday, out from 8.15 am (hopefully!) till 11.15 (ditto!) doing paid work and then from about 11.30 am-1/1.30 pm out yet again, so won't be able to do anything until the afternoon.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday TBC.

Hope to post later in week.

Rebecca

Afternoon all,
Disappeared off the face of the planet on Friday (well the MSE one) but I promise I've not been idle. Bedroom is painted, both carpets lifted (left the old one under the new one for insulation but made it bumpy!) with old one in the tip and new one relaid, curtains hemmed and new voile fitted. Packed up three boxes of shoes with only valuable/everyday ones left. Both windows in the flat are cleaned inside, bathroom, hall and bedroom were fully cleaned. More packing done. Bank account fully opened and small deposit made to maintain them. Home and car insurance organised for the move.... it's been a busy weekend!

As I did so much work over the weekend my lists will vary from the set lists but I'll add my own tasks to it. Off to visit the new house tonight to measure up for appliances and work out any things we need to get before the move. Am very excited to see it again, getting impatient to move already! :j

Thanks Dusty for the thread.

Hi everyone - I'm back!

Well, truth to tell we were home last week, but Mr LW decided the 2nd week of his leave was a "staycation" type of thing, so we've been puttering about locally, and only doing basic hygiene Flying (after I caught up with the holiday Mount Washmore, that is):D

Going to try to get back to following my personal lists properly from here on - weekend tasks all got done, and the smoke alarm got tested ahead of schedule yesterday when the Qu0rn fillets got a little over-brown (still delicious, though, in white wine sauce).

I have the Hairy Hooligans arriving shortly, too.:T

Me Mountain Challenge-wise; I did well while we were away, put on make up and jewellery every day - I suspect having to eat in the hotel dining room, even at brekkie time, may have helped!

Right now, I need to go and put on a bit of makeup (I already have on a rhodonite necklace) for my mugshot with the dogs.:o

I'm going to try and manage 30 mins WiiFit each day, too (been doing the Body Check but not doing much in the way of actual exercise) but I've decided to try splitting it into 3 x 10 mins, as I'm finding 30 mins in one hit too much to cope with.
