    Morning everyone, sorry havent had time to read properly.

    Glad you had a great time bossy.

    Lovely weather here today, DS wants to get the bikes out this afternoon when I finish work. There is flying to be done but going for a bike ride sounds far more appealing.

    Right, best get ready for work!

    Morning all

    Well the plan was to go out of the house at around 7.55 to nip to the delivery office, Mr A's to drop off a parcel and to nip in the DEs. However as I've only just woke up after being wide awake at 4 that's not going to happen. I do need to go before 12 though and I have a delivery coming anytime after 8.30. I could hurry up and get ready now I suppose but DS is still asleep.

    Other than that I have loads to do and want to continue sorting out the kitchen and paperwork.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    Well I compromised, I didn't bother going to MR A's with the parcel as that can wait and did the other 2. DS is still asleep and doesn't even know I've been out! It does however mean I'm up and dressed and ready to make a start once I've had some breakfast.

  • Morning all, hope everyone is ok this morning and hugs and possie vibes available where needed :o

    Just go for it Dusty, I applied for a job 'just becuase', didn't think I'd get it (this was a year ago now) but thought I'd drop an application form in anyway. I got the job, which has helped me move back to nearer my family and we (me and Mr B) bought a house! Now I always say, take opportunities when they present themselves, you never know what will happen :T

    Flying-wise...mostly s&s this week, but mostly kept on top of WM & dishes. Tried out our new steam mop the other day, so easy to use! And the floor wasn't really wet like it normally is when I've mopped! :T

    I'm currently working on paperwork. Going to try and file it all and then possibly put older stuff like bank statements can go up the loft.
