  • Seems as though this flying is going to the extreme.


    Hubby is that impressed that he wants to sort out what we lovingly call "the museum" Realistically this is a big shed full of tat. This tat consists of old farming implements, fireplaces, jars, basically anything that he's picked up over the years at car boots or farm sales or general auctions.


    He now wants to sort this out into 3 lots. Stuff for scraping, stuff for restoring to sell and stuff for restoring and enjoying.


    So from now on my duties on farm are being changed to that of a antique (junk) restorer (haha), starting tomorrow, I can't wait :).


    So looks like i'm going to be a full time flyer :)
    Loving life to the full, just need purse full too :)

    I think I shall make a start on my Toots list tonight. DH is steadfastly ignoring the fact that the dog bed is naked in the hallway. It needs taping back together and the covers putting back on but it's sponge and faux suede and makes me retch to touch it :(. Once it' rout of the way, I can get on with laying the underlay by the front door for the mats.

    Dusty, can't believe it, sorry :(.
    Yorkshirelass, you sound meh :(.

    Tonight, I need to find some scissors because I can't see out of my fringe and it's driving me insane!

    Hi everyone, I am struggling this week,but am here in spirit if not body.

    It is my first full week at work since October and I am tired

    I can't even muster the energy for level one so will just keep on top of basics and hope for some oomph after a good nights sleep.

    Dusty - that is terrible treatment of your mother.
    Valli - well done to your DD

    I am really sorry I cannot remember everyone's news but please help yourself to hugs, spoons and sticks.

    Catch up with you all soon

    However i did have quite a good day once i'd got in through the snow.
