Morning everyone

Back in the fold properly now - and have just caught up on the thread!

Welcome to newbies, well done Valli.

Holiday washing almost done - just need several HHI to get it all put away :eek:

Yesterday was a really long day volunteering for BBC World War 1 at Home but I have lots of super memories of conversations with people that I have helped to research their loved ones and a lovely t shirt!

Today I am trying to declutter holiday stuff to correct places and prepare for trip to see DS on Friday. Think Flying may have to start again next Monday although I was up to date before we went away.

Have a good day everyone.

morning all
sorry minor rant
yesterday was a bit of a disappointment, having been told the appt was for xrays and breathing tests, all that happened was weight height and BP taken then spoken to by anaesthetist to talk about risks. and told tests would be booked and mil was on the surgery list. she was understandably disappointed especially when he said the tests would take about 3 weeks and we were told the the op would be in 4 weeks - and that was 2 weeks ago!!
as a result of that and the morning being used doing 'off list stuff' i failed in flying yesterday, this morning plan to do mils cleaning so will have a lot to cram in this afternoon . i have already hung 2 wm's worth of washing out, sent emil to freecycle person, done martial arts paperwork including letter that was a bit of a frog, packed off boys to school/work. i now need coffee.

hope all are well
pink photo is lovely pigpen they are growing so fast
degus look really sweet, i like rodents
brilliant news Valli we knew you would get it.
hope the burned off wart is no longer making you feel sick
sorry not managed to retain any more info that was posted i hope you are all well.
hugs good wishes positive vibes, sticks and spoons where needed.

Not much milk left so OH needs to go to shop on the way back from school.

Morning,

Valli - congrats :j:T:D

Natty - *hugs*

Once I finally got moving yesterday I managed to get my accounts done up to May, quite a bit of laundry, and I tided up before going to bed. I just don't have the energy to do much else atm

Today is an 'official' paid stuff day, and my order has just arrived which has made me notice the time. I really need to get some breakfast and then get on with work. I'd rather go back to bed though as I'm shattered

Probably catch up with you this evening, or maybe even tomorrow depending on how long this little lot is going to take me. :wave:

Jazee

Update from me, have achieved all that I set out to do AND have done master bedroom jobs from list that are applicable and hoovered quickly through the house. About to walk the dogs.

Catch you later.
