Hello everyone. I've not done a lot of flying this week as the paid stuff is manic as usual so I'm hoping to catch up at the weekend with housework and gardening (well on Friday and Saturday as I'm on my own those days). Tomorrow morning before the paid stuff, I need to sort out finances as it is payday. I've cut the grass back and front this week and the washing is up to date, dogs have had lots of walks and this is what I have managed from the lists.

Hi All. I actually did some flying in the bathroom this morning. Took all the bits off the top and put them on the bath mat. Now just why do we have 2 toothpastes, 2 of the same kind of part used bubble baths etc etc. no wonder it's hard to clean up in there.
Feels and smells really nice, however do need to get in there with a paint brush etc sometime.
Have also just got the fourth load of washing on and DD actually put one load on the line for me. Have got a big fat frog to eat which I should have started this morning. But a friend came along and asked for 'help' with a job application. She was here from 9 am to 2 pm. I don't mind really but I am so stressed out with my own things to do. Oh well doing nice things for others is good so hopefully I will get some karma from it as she's a lovely person.
Just bee out for walk with DD who is now asking what's for tea? Going to sort that and then tackle that frog. Maybe I'll then sleep better tonight.

Not done a lot. Brought in 2 loads of dry clothes, cleaned the fridge. Another massive de-clutter + organised another load to go and found all information DS1 needed for his passport application (involved DS3 climbing Mount Attic-us so as a bonus, I have clean knickers [remembered to shout up when I realised he was up there, only 4 pairs down here]).
Also ate a tadpole by getting funds to the business bank account and bought a bathmat set to use for viewings (8 miles there and 8 miles back on the bus + enough walking to make me ache but okay now).My mission in life is not only to survive,but to thrive and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humour and some Style.NST SEP No 1 No Debt No mortgage0 -
sorry i did miss today, spent morning weeding and planting so most of it done now - but weeding is like the forth bridge in that it carries on all season.
i even culled a huge patch of dandelions and nettles on the park next to me, theyll only seed all over mine if i dont take them out so thought id save myself a job by getting them at source. i did leave the pile of weeds on the park so no one thinks i hadnt got enough weeds of my own and was trying to steal them.
visited friend with broken leg this afty, didnt realise how much we needed to catch up on i was there over 3 hours.
hope all are well
hugs good wishes and vibes where needed
will catch up tomorrowSPC~12 ot 124

Hi all another day of no flying!
Stuck with emails and phone calls all morning then to vol job in afternoon. Overdue catch up with neighbour after that then we are off to I*ea tomorrow as have found some shelving that will fit perfectly in our old cistern cupboard. It will save me getting an estimate from a local joiner and will mean I can carry on with the major cupboard re-organise. Unfortunately need first to fill the cracks in the plasterwork and paint it whilst it is empty!!!
Looks like I've found what I'll be doing for the rest of the weekend then! LOL
Have a great day tomorrow everyone - will try and catch up with the thread and you all on Friday.July 16 £95/£200

At least the Nigella chocolate orange cake recipe has turned out well
Sounds delicious, recipe please.
I've been catching up with washing and ironing today. It really is never ending.
My sister came over with her youngest. She doesn't ever tell him no. He really is a handful and could do with a few boundaries.
Big party tomorrow for SIL's 30th WA. Need to get kids scrubbed tonight as tomorrow will be a bit busy.
Not sure if I'll get on again so wishing you all a lovely Easter weekend with your loved ones.0 -
Evening all,
Last update of the day. I am starting to see real progress in the house and it is very pleasing. Still finding it problematic to get hoovering done as OH is sleeping in the day in preparation for night shifts and then will be on night shifts. I'm planning on hoovering as soon as he leaves for his shift tomorrow.
