Where about are you in the country? Iona I know is way way up norrrrrrrth!:D so no chance if you are there. xx

West Midlands - a bit too far for you to come for just a coffee, I suspect. But I do travel down the Chiltern Line occasionally, and one day I could stop off in Banbury if that's your side of the M1. Or even chance a Virgin train and take a break in concrete cow country so that we can do a threesome meet with LW if she'd care to join us. (Foursome if Dusty comes too )

DH has just come home and is demanding food. Bacon and eggs, if I've got any left after making those cakes

Sorry - I just have to ask - where is concrete cow country?!

If ever I manage to attend a Flymeet (don't hold your breath, even if there's one in MK at some point, I may well lose my nerve) I have a necklace with LameWolf on it, I'd have to make sure to wear it!:D

Now there is a toots list type task for me!!

Those interested in a MK meet let me know via pm, (or we may get told off for talking rather than flying) a suitable month / day/ type of thing you would like to do.

Summer time....warmer
Peace Pagoda / Willen Lake / temple area foc plenty of room, for kids to run around. Suitable for wheelchairs, car parking near by....
CMK...
Another pub or similar
or what ever..........................

Bed now remade.

These are within dog-walking distance of us!:D When the field's not flooded, that is.:rotfl:

Kazw In principle, (ie as long as I don't panic and bottle out), good idea, when the weather's better. Peace Pagoda's lovely, but not easy to get the wheelchair up to; there's also the Medicine Wheel nearby, which is more on a level; and the Ship Ashore pub is wheelchair-friendly. Have to be a weekend, as Mr LW would have to assist me.

Now, I shall attack another family of dust bunnies, while the netbook defrags.:o Nothing like multi-tasking, is there?:D

Definitely, MK is about 45 minutes drive north of me but happy to meet wherever is easiest especially for LW x

Let's do it when the weather is better - that place sounds lovely but I will go anywhere and can make most days with a little notice.

Remember I'm in charge this week and the queen of going OT and flying very little

DH on the train home so need to get him soon. Going to stuff the chook in the AGA for a pie for dinner, I think all will be home tonight which is a very rare occasion here

Flying? Ah I will later I'm sure.

just_the_two_of_us

Still had 15 minutes left of second double HHC so will make the corned beef hash ready to be heated through for tea.

Update means all that's left is:
[STRIKE]Mop Kitchen floor[/STRIKE]
Change beds - weekend
[STRIKE]15 minutes dealing with hotspots/putting things away[/STRIKE] - ironing finished and PA
[STRIKE]Hoover anywhere in need - hoover needs charging!!!![/STRIKE] rest of downstairs and smallest bedroom ( only middle bits!)
How are you doing with the pile of stuff left to sort? Remove at least 3 more things from this pile and deal with them. Bless you Dusty - if I do three pieces of paper a day for the rest of my life I still won't get there paper is so thin nowadays!!!!:rotfl:
I aim to do at least an hour munching "les grenouilles" later on - but AIM is the word!!
[STRIKE]And 4 - was 5 - can't count! shirts left[/STRIKE]
Will report back on that tomorrow.

Hope others have had a much better day today, too. xxx

ASfternoon all

tis my planning afternoon

DD is also on a half day so we walked into jacket spuds as I had put the oven on timer. JUST what we needed, given it's -erm- snowing! So they've been scoffed with cheese.

I might intersperse planning with flying;)

Just got in from a lovely walk with Pip; put my headphones on and sang all the way around (apart from when I passed anyone obviously) and let rip down the fields!!! Did me the power of good.

Haven't flown yet but am thinking I may iron and put Outnumbered on the iPlayer - I love that programme! Just made a brew so if anyone wants one feel free to help themselves. :coffee: Maybe those of you who've been baking could bring some cake!!

Joeyjimbles don't worry about making excuses; that's the beauty of this (as I see it) in that you can do as much or as little as you want - there's no pressure on anyone.

Pigpen are you OK; haven't seen you on here today.

Everyone seems very organised with SC and preparing food in advance but I just don't seem to be able to get my head around it at the moment - something I'll have to aim for I think.

Right, tea's up .....
