    :jEvening everyone.......... thanks for the list lil_me

    I'm determined to do a bit this week even if it's only up to level one each day. I spent most of last week playing or watching TV with ds - depending whether his leg was hurting or not - so not much done. This week is a w**k week so ds goes to my mum and a childminder fetches dd from school. I usually get alot of flying done in the morning then go to w**k in the afternoon till about 7.30pm-ish. I've been asked to do some overtime so I'll take dd to school at 9am then go into w**k which means flying before 8am or after 8pm - what do you suggest ladies - before or after? :rolleyes:

    I'd certainly not be doing any after such a long day so I'd go before or actually not at all!

    From the horoscopes in the Telegraph mag:

    "With energetic and determined Mars in your chart's domestic zone in weeks to come, this is the right time to push through changes that you have postponed. Put your own needs and feelings first"

    Fly high water carriers amongst you.

    HopeElizzy - I'd be getting up 15 minutes earlier and doing it before work if it was that important to me - or I'd be doing what I'm doing this work week - just getting done what I can, when I can :rolleyes:

    Dusty Kitten - just the kind of horoscope I need this week LOL

    witchypoo - Nah - you're not sad - it's all about getting some control back in our lives! You go, girl :j . . . just don't overdo it!

    Morning everyone! I don't normally post this early but I have been pushed out of bed by DS who wet his own and then came in with us. He fell back to sleep but in doing so hogged the bed so much that I gave up and got out!

    It's raining yet again here in Lancashire. Our lawns desperately need cutting and I was going to do it today. I did lots of housework over the weekend so I could free up the time today but alas ...

    I did manage to get to Sainsbury's on Friday and started DD's room. Together we found a bin bag of stuff for summer fairs and charity shop so it should be a bit easier to clean from now on, until next cuddly toy arrives, that is!

    Off to make tea now, catch up later ...

    Morning everyone.

    Another person here who would love to get out in the garden and try and sort out all the plants that have been growing rampantly these past couple of weeks, but I don't think I'll manage it today either.

    Did the utility room yesterday, which is normally included on my Monday list, as I had a few bits of shopping to go away out there.

    DH sorted out some clothes for the charity shop out of his wardrobe yesterday so I'll drop those into one of the local ones today. Just wonder if I'll be able to resist having a look for anything for me whilst in there!

    Have a great day everyone.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

  • Morning all.
    I didn't join in last week because i felt a bit low, but back on track this week! House is not too bad as i have been doing dailies just nothing extra:o.

    I have a new 3 piece suite coming tomorrow evening and my sis is having mine. She had a bit of a breakdown 6 months ago and EVERYTHING in her house needs dumping and replacing. It has taken whichever authority 6 months to get help sorted and they are going in to do the big clean tomorrow so she is going back home (after staying with our parents since January). I have found her a load of bedding, some curtains, we have a spare fridge freezer that she is having and the suite so i feel a bit better for doing my bit! I just hope she learns to look after stuff now:o.

    Hope everyone has a good week flying and welcome to the newbee's.
