    Hiya
    Well, I knew he wasn't feeling well!!!!!!! Bless him!!!!!! He's lying next to be on the sofa fast asleep but he's definitely got the bug. It wasn't my chocolate brownies.....promise....he didn't have any!

    I've cancelled all my clients for tomorrow and they were all fine. That means I'm not panicking trying to get hold of people tomorrow. I'll just have to see what I can do flying wise but now I know we really need to hire a carpet cleaner and had DS's room to the list that needs cleaning. I'm just going to potter and titivate (is that a word) things into their right place xx

    Seriously considering doing a couple of A-levels this year at college... opinions welcome!!

    How could you possibly pack anything into your days!?! What with all that Flying, children to look after and flirting to do...

    Seriously though, if you think you can manage to find the time, go for it! Keeping your brain stimulated keeps you a lot younger, I reckon, and it will give you an advantage if you ever decide to go for a 'proper' job (not that Flying and looking after 8 sprogs isn't a proper job). What would you like to study? I'm sure you won't have any problems, as you are obviously smart and articulate.

    Not managed much from my list today, unfortunately. Ex-boss was in town for short visit, so dropped everything to go out to lunch with him. Spent rest of free time today putting stuff up on Ebay for 10p listing day - 17 items listed so far, and hope to do a few more tomorrow.

    Now off to watch a film. G&T time again! Should probably eat something too, as had nothing since lunch, nice though it was.

    Woot woot!!! Toilet is mid clean, some stuff down there at the mo.

    So tomorrow is dust the bedrooms and hoover up the cobwebs and floor. Then i will attempt the light fittings. :D

    I must also do all the windows as ive been distinctly lax in that and they are all filthy and the cat has smudged them as she escapes sliding down them :rolleyes:.

    Well im all showered and ready for bed with my glass of wine, next episode of Sharpe and tub of honey ice cream in a lovely cleanish house. Life couldnt get much better for these few short moments of eye candy! :T

    Off tomorrow on a visit somewhere down south so should be back just in time to make my room lovely to sleep in tomorrow! See you all then.
  • Back to work today and hopelessly tired. Stripped my bed this morning and will remake it when I go to bed. Thats all I'm afraid other than cooking the dinner. Watched the wonderful Anthea to see if I could be inspired but hmm nope. Oh well there's always tomorrow. Happy flying x

    Evening everyone - hope you're all ok.

    I've just made a start - I didn't manage to do anything this morning before leaving for w**k at 1pm..... just couldn't manage to do anything.

    There's some washing in, the DW is on and I've done Level 1 and fling boogied the pile of magazines in the lounge.

    I'm looking forward to tomorrow as ds gets his plaster cast off his leg (fingers crossed).
    :sad:This week has been dreadful so far though ..... my friends mum died on Monday night. She was 62yo and had just been given the all-clear from breast cancer. Monday night, when my friend, who is a paramedic, was on duty she happened to be at the station when a call came in giving her parents address. She said it was her mum and was told to go immediately. Her mum had had a heart attack and she managed to stabilise her and get her to the hospital, unfortunatly soon after they arrived she arrested again and the doctors couldn't revive her. It has been quite a shock, we have been friends since childhood and her mum is the same age as mine.
    It's difficult to know what to say or how to help....... hence not much sleep and the inability to do anything properly.

    :grouphug:keep well
