    Glad its not just me that hasnt achieved spectacular things this week on the flying front. Sorry Valli. Things arent too bad here though, and I should have a bit of spare time tomorrow afternoon.

    Fizz, wow 6 inches of hair, that must feel so different! I am trying to grow mine a bit after going very short.

    Well done Mummyroysof3, let us know the big day and we will send some positive vibes your way.

    Off to get DS2 into bed now, then an early night for me I think.

    ionafan, great to see you yesterday and hear how the house and garden are progressing. Hope you got the paint returned safely.


    Had a great day today - I went for my first proper run. I'm planning to do a 5k and 10k in June and July. Something good to focus on.


    Flying going well. Staying on top of things after my blitz on Saturday in preparation for guests who cancelled at the last minute. Grrr.

    I just finished work 15min ago :( what a nightmare.

    I was late out of work and arrived at school for parents evening with 2min to go to my appointment, only to wait nearly 40min to be seen! So by the time I got to after school club, DS was nearly in tears that I'd forgotten them and DD was sat on a lady's knee looking as white as a sheet :(

    So I'm afraid it was cereal, toast, fruit and yoghurt for tea :o and after their bath and bedtime I had to get back on the lappy and make sense of someone else's muddle.

    Argh, I have not flown at all this week. I have paperwork to do, a holiday to get ready for and I'm babysitting my friends DD tomorrow. Oh and the new playhouse is coming.

    Aaaannnddd breathe... ;)

  • Just signed up. Flat untidy but not awful but dealing with ME/CFS and return to work and thinking this will help me break down the tasks so I can feel I've achieved something. I definitely will be level 1!

    Reduced hours - reduced money any saving a bonus so been having a good read of many threads - particularly the Old Style. Already do some batch cooking but want to increase this too. Have been trying some knitting and sewing.

    This morning DH helped with the hoovering while I made 2 important phone calls, packed and ran round the kitchen with the steam mop. The house is tidy and clean for when we get home tomorrow evening.

    We drove to a NT place for lunch and afterwards took a brisk walk up the hill to see the garden and admire some tiny lambs before completing our journey to DS2's. DGS3 walked across the LR to me, climbed on my lap and gave me a lovely long cuddle :) He has grown up so much since we last saw him at the end of January!

    Congratulations on the interview, mummyroys.
    Yes FBO, paint returned without the salesperson batting an eyelid.

    Morning all.

    Huge hugs and vibes all round again. Its taken me an hour to read this thread due to interruptions so everything has flown away again :o

    Yesterdays shopping didn't go to plan. Managed to get all the cards, Easter gift bags, and a couple of bits for DD's birthday. She spent £5 on second hand CDs for a good school report. However we never made it to the butchers due to DD loosing her bus pass when we came home to drop shopping off :mad: Had to go and pay out for new passport photos, a £5 "admin fee", and 3 lots of bus fare as her ID got left on the side at home and she wouldn't stay in town on her own while I came home to pick it up (I had a bus pass) :(

    Today I have work to do, paperwork that needs to be done, accounts to update, laundry and I need to have a bath. I think I'll do some flying as well to break up the paperwork, otherwise I'm going to end up with square eyes. :o Best get on otherwise I won't get everything done today :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
