    Super pics ionafan x

    Sorry to hear your friend is still having tough times, dusty x

    I've really not achieved much in terms of flying. All week really. Just glad we are all indoors with nowhere to be tonight. I'm having a brew, dd is trashing her room (!) and DS is playing his driving game. We got buns from the school sale so no one is complaining of being hungry yet.

    I might set myself the challenge of cleaning the sinks and loos tonight, and maybe re-setting my wii mii for the wii fit. It's been too long so I'm thinking of starting over.

    Pleased - DD hair is still up in the bun I did 6hrs ago for ballet. It's the longest it's ever stayed up I think, lol.

    Got few bits of groceries earlier so no need for shopping this weekend, hurrah.

    Just coming on here to vent and moan!
    Hubby has had day off work. We have had a few errands to run but apart from that he has been sat on sofa all day! I haven't sat down all day. Done two hours of ironing, 3 x wm, filled dw, sorted out kids and tried to tidy up for viewing tomorrow.
    I have come upstairs to have 5 minutes before I have a little outburst! I know his answer will be that it's his day off work!
    Anyway rant over and back to it!

    Oh dear I had a day off on Wednesday and now I can't get back into the flying routine :(. I got back from the hospital at midday yesterday and have done nothing since. Yesterday I caught up on e mails and forums and today I walked the dog with a friend, went to her's for a cup of tea or two then paid stuff x 2 and lunch. The French exchange student arrives Tuesday evening so I must get sorted for then. It's going to be a busy week end!

    Ds2's operation went well. He has huge bandages on his hands and is a bit fed up as he can't grip anything so is limited as to what he can do. They come off on Monday so that will be better for him. The dressings and stitches come off a week on Wednesday. He isn't allowed to do any sport for 6 weeks which he is going to hate and I think he is going to get very bored.

    Pigpen. Sorry to hear about your panic attack. Hope you are feeling better

    Frizzle. Men don't seem to get that you don't have time off from things that need doing in the home. I have thought the same about my OH many times.

    Ionafan gorgeous pics of your DGS

    Happy birthday to rubbies DD

    Just flitting through. Very busy since half term and been away the last two weekends, with a language conference and helping DS2 at his stand at the Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia. That was terrific fun, and he did well. Very proud of him!

    Minimal flying I regret to say, as I have been running out of energy most afternoons. Family have been helping, so it doesn't look too horrendous. I did the kitchen and cloakroom today.

    Lovely to see the new baby, and good news about other expected arrivals, and new houses.

    Love, hugs, sticks and spoons to all my flylady friends who could make good use of them!

    Which reminds me, dancemum have you had your show yet?

    We had shows last weekend bossy. We have rehearsals tomorrow followed by shows on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. I'm not allowed to post photos of the children. My tap group are dancing as Monkeys/apes from jungle book to I wanna be a Man, man cub. One was sick just before so had to be taken home, the others did very well to adjust.

    Another day of laundry and basics here.

    Aww bless. Hope you've enjoyed it and got your costume sorted. DD(4) has been invited into her groups show too - her first question: "what is the costume?" :eek: speaking of which I got all her pink frothy gear washed tonight.

    Had a bit of a tidy downstairs with kitchen and LR in good shape except the floors. DS got a telling off for his yoghurt all over the floor - after last night he knocked DD's cereal everywhere. Too busy flinging his arms around that kid :(
    Not done the bathrooms as planned and I feel drained. Let them watch the first half hour of comic relief - think they need to hit them with the trade descriptions act! All three of us were in tears, switched the tv off while they sobbed about you know who. Lesson learnt.

    Plan tomorrow is:
    Library
    Bike shop
    More laundry
    Vaccing floors (won't mop as the queen aka my mother is coming tomorrow and doesn't like taking her shoes off :mad:)
