Life has not been kind to me this year but I'm back on track now. I was watching Wimbledon, cheering Andy Murray and I found myself thinking 'Come on Tim!' which reminded me of Rowantree which reminded my of the flyladies....

Sorry life has been harsh Bonnie, we would have supported you sweetie but now you are back please stay.
Right I need to clear up from dinner.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Evening all. Well as expected paid stuff was manic so no flying done today due to early paid stuff start and when it finished DH took me out to dinner to start the weekend. We're obviously going there too often now as they know his drinks order.
We had a weekend of outdoorsy stuff planned but due to the weather we're now planning indoorsy stuff, so possibly museum/cinema. Flyingwise, I need to sort out TV which is not working (flipping cable box thingy), help DH with recruitment paperwork, take leccy and gas readings and keep up with the dailies.
I need to share that we are only 4 days from debt free day.
Good news for you Valli, and Mrs MP, the cross stitch is lovely.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Thank you everyone for your kind words, it means a great deal. Now I'm back you won't be able to get rid of me lol.
I have only been s&s ing lately, with some dot-to-dotting. Due to health issues I have bought myself a new lightweight hoover and hand-held thingy for the stairs. They are still in their boxes *embarrassed* but hope they will make a bold entrance next week!
Great news on the new job Valli x dusty please be careful with garden implements x All the best to Mr LW and LW herself xx

i think that or marking out their terrory and squaring up to other toms in area. they seem to do whatever it is that makes them noisy right under our window on the drive most nights recently. a cup of water lobbed out the window on the gravel seems to shut them up (after about the 3rd or 4th attempt:o )SPC~12 ot 124

:wave: Yay, welcome back Bonnie! :T Don't do that disappearing trick again, please - we've missed you lots!
LW, glad to hear that Mr LW is teaching the young Dr a thing or two. Hope he gets a clinic appointment soon.
Dusty, it sounds like we are fortunate to still have you with us :cool:
What a lovely reaction from your class, Valli
Yesterday I did 2xHHI and decluttered zzz.
Today we have driven 2x 150 miles to visit DH's cousins. Had a lovely day and an excellent lunch (which has probably been detrimental to the relevant part of my June challenge) but oh boy! is my backside sore from sitting for hours. I notice it happening a lot, now that I've lost so much adipose tissue
The garden has been watered for me
We've hardly been at home for the past week so nothing has got messed up and keeping the windows locked means that dusting will be a very quick job0 -
