Hello flyfriends. Another not so great day here. Thanks Dusty for the interview vibes for DD, the next interview is on Thursday. She really needs to get out of her current job where they are just taking the mickey and on minimum wage too.
Anyhow, the car needs a new engine, full story of my despair is on my diary page, so I am just fed up really.
No flying here today except for putting the new hoover together (all by myself) and whizzing it around downstairs when I should have been doing the paid stuff. Thought it might be quite exciting, but found out its just a hoover.
Anyway, DD needs some badges sewing on her Scout shirt as she hasn't learnt to sew herself, so I'd better get cracking.
I hope everyone has a pleasant evening.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Parents visited
Mr T visited
Nails filed
Big frog of the pan cupboard eaten. Relined with banqueting roll and a few old rustles put ready for the tip run. I will get this place ship shape inch by inch.
DH has been to his dentist
I'm going tomorrow. Fingers crossed for cheap bills as 3 of us need to go to the opticians this month too.
Sorry for your ds Dusty
Has anyone seen Mrs Chaos or roundtuit ?0 -
Big hugs and loves for those in need, sounds as though that's quite a few of us! Thankfully, I have a big heart and arms like a chimp

Got a migraine at the paid stuff today, which resulted in me not being able to talk. My client was lovely when I thrust a scribbled note in her hand explaining that I needed to go home, stat. Just made it back in time for he spew-fest. Lovely.
Felt a bit more human after a nap, even managed to take the boys to the barbers. Hair decluttered, they're both looking v. smart.
DH has just left for band rehearsal so we have about to cwtch up with some telly. DS2 has called dibs on my lap, he is still very loving for being almost 9, I hope he doesn't grow out of it any time soon
I did WUDUPA after dinner, I'm calling that a flying success

I'm in this week :j
Thanks to Dusty for the list & hugs to all that need them.
Not much happening here - had a big row with DS on Sunday night which resulted in a computer ban for 24 hours. Actually it was lovely as he spent more time with us yesterday, rather than locked away in his room. And he was trying desperately hard to be nice and helpful too.
I've hardly seen him tonight though, and DH is still at work so its just me and DD.
I've done a few bits of flying & will carry some forward to the weekend.

thanks Kaz, someone emailed me that yesterday and i saw it in this mornings paper, my sheringham magnet pulls me towards things like that. I remember visiting that years ago and Erm using the facilities LOL, it does look gorgeous doesnt it. we tried to sneek a peep last year while there but it was mid renovation so was clad over in a huge plastic sheet. will have a proper look this year when we go. love the name they picked 'wee retreat' LOL
just back form martial arts and have pretty much spent the day ironing and trying something out on my sewing machine. was going to watch sewing bee but DS2 is on the xbox and DH is out still so ill watch it on iplayer thingy tomorrowSPC~12 ot 124
In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind0 -
The DW does have the water to it turned on?? and there are no kinks in the pipes etc?GI.. they did turn the water on didn't they? There should be little tap bits on the water pipe .. red or blue.. they need 1/4 turn to open the valve.. you'll feel a right numpty if that is all it is lol.
Thanks. that was one of the things I tried yesterday. Mine is a little blue tap, and I am not sure which way is on/off, so I tried both just to be sure! Even if this were the case - they were supposed to test it before they left, and they didn't
I have done paid stuff today. It was DH's 'rest' day, so he has finished jet washing the patio (now safe for children to use
), cut the dog's hair, cleaned the car (in & out) and cooked dinner. he has also washed up!! Bless him
