    Hi all

    Mrsm - I am a worrier too. I kind of think its part of my personality now, not something I can change. I have to be in control of everything or I panic.

    So am I :o DS3 is too. I think it is how you are, I like to think I'm just overly conscientious and not just a control freak:D

    Oh Dear. I've not made a very good start on here.

    I'm hanging my head in shame. All my good intentions blown out the first week :(


    You all seem to have so well organised.

    Ha, you have so misread us! Why do you think some of us have been here for 8 years and still need the thread to even make us think about flying :p We celebrate success and forget about what we haven't done. Stick with it chick.

    Did you here that thumping last night? Sorry it was me hoping mad at DH.

    AF here this morning so hopefully I'll be calmer from today. Meeting in a couple of hours so I need to shower, prep and feed the neighbours mog. I'll put the WM and DW on too before I go.

    See you in a bit and keep eating those frogs - very impressed by the progress being made this week and by those eating tadpoles.

    By eating a tadpole yesterday and submitting my electric meter readings my DD is being reduced by £6 a month - very nice. Waiting to see if the same happens with gas.

    Er, yes .... if the video of two small pinks hiding behind a cat on a chair was anything to go by.

    Dusty, I thought you were still here after eight years because you're so committed to being community minded, and we need you.

    (((Hugs))) Skint.

    I'm trying to track down a tiny piece of critical information that a friend and colleague has deleted from his email account. Grr. Another try today, between showers. Mrs Dog has been to the vet, checked and jabbed.

    Bedroom, landing and my office looking pretty okay all things considered. Kitchen minging. Will sort, fling, tidy and clean later. And finish the cupboard under the front steps. (How many RoD's can one house have?)
    Better is good enough.

    Morning all.

    Just popping in quickly while I have a coffee. Its paid stuff today and I've been working since 7.40 when DD left for school. 1/3 of the way through the "has to be done today" jobs, next job is lots of writing and change sorting. Then I'm going to wash my hair and hope the dye doesn't wash out too much; and then I need to jump in the bath as I feel really dirty and icky for some reason :( Afterwards I'll start on the books. There is 1 tiny error so I'm going to just correct it with a pen instead of adding it to the newsletter, while I'm sticking notes on the front of the book. ;)

    Hardly any flying being done today, I'll leave dishes until after tea as there's only breakfast plates/mugs and I use the same mug all day ;) Beds are airing but I think I might strip them since we're both having baths today. I'll have to do some ironing soon as I've just moved the pile for now :rotfl: DD and I are off to Mr A shopping after school to buy a couple of bits and my nephews birthday pressies. I can't believe he's 1 tomorrow! Seems like only yesterday I was getting a picture text of the scan from my sis saying "hi aunty nicki, see you in April" :rotfl::rotfl:

    I best get on. Going to go for a HHC working then flutter, then work again ;) :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
