    Well the only flying I've done today is clearing food out the fridge and onto a plate then into my stomach :rotfl::rotfl: I have been on this computer almost none stop since 10am as I can't be bothered doing anything. My ME time is taking over this weekend :o:rotfl::rotfl: BUT OH did S&S the bathroom & the kitchen and I made the beds so I guess thats acceptable....

    Right off back to facebook, I'm addicted to 2 of the games on there :o (If anyone wants to add me just PM me...I have tried looking for people but Martin has just too many friends :rotfl::rotfl: )

Before flying I would have needed at least a day :rotfl: . Must be doing somehing right. xx

    a very late evening to anyone still up.

    Havent checked in since yesterday lunch so loads to catch up on. You sound like you've all been busy so :T :T :T :T to everyone.

    Me well what have I been up to - no flying, just have me time and time for DD.

    Yesterday afternoon we wandered into town with doogie and offloaded all of our coppers at the bank in exchange for £17 so we were both well happy. So I let her have a MacD Happy Meal for her late lunch (OH doesnt like her having them so it was a real treat for her) and we took it down to the river bank to eat. She was happy and it was nice to be doing something just the 2 of us as DS was at his mates in their pool - alright for some!

    Came back and made something diff for tea, Bouillebaisse (fish stew!) never made it before and it was lovely so I was well impressed with myself as OH as specifically requested it. Trouble was he was in a funny mood when he came home from work so didnt really appreciate it and went straight to bed after. Can only think he must have had a nasty job at work that he didnt want to talk about.

    Still in a mood this morning so I woke up to a cup of cold tea as he hadnt told me it was there :confused: . I got up and had breakfast with the kids and made sure they did the dailies, and promptly went back to bed with a book. I hadnt picked one up since holiday last year so it was nice to have me time. Got up again at lunchtime and sorted the washing and put one load on and then sat in the garden with my book.

    Nearly a whole day of me time. Thats down to flying during the week so a big thank you to lil-me and all you other ladies for the support during the week.

    Only other thing I did tonight was gave the doogie a trim as she was chewing and she's been frontlined so thought she might just be hot. Took ages and then she wouldnt let me finish it properly so she looks totally scruffy.

    Well just going to check kitchen is ok for when OH comes in from work in the morning and then bed.

    Night all

    I can't sleep! I'm wide awake so...since everyone is in bed I'm going to dust the livingroom :rotfl: I've been on all my forums and everyone is in bed and I've caught up with them all so I might as well put my insomnia to good use :rotfl::rotfl: Laters :wave:

    Morning Nicki

    When youve dusted your place, could you pop over to mine? Just dont wake up Lordgrim, he gets very grumpy in the mornings!!

    Well, I was rudely woken by a VERY large seagull outside my bedroom window. It seems Lordgrim had decided to put the rubbish bag outside lastnight, so first thing this morning I was picking up litter before the neighbours saw! Thankfully I got there before it had done too much damage, so not too much to pick up.

    Definately started the day flying!!

    Anyway, off for a cup of tea.

    Morning to all who follow

    LG
