I've not been flying so much this week as it turned out. I think I managed to vacuum the lounge and sweep the hallway but that's about it since Wednesday! Come dine with me is going well - final night tomorrow. It is creating a LOT of mess but I think it's been worth it! I will try and join you all again next week! Have a great weekend everyone!Living the dream, one moment at a time. It's not always easy but there are sparkles of joy around every corner.

Evening flyladies, I've not had a chance to catch up so hope you're all ok.
I'm reasonably pleased with the flying I have achieved this week, so I'm hoping now the weather stays good so I can do gardening mostly all weekend.
Catch you all tomorrow.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Hello all
errand this am; lots of to-ing and fro-ing with the Vallikids to and from jobs; work this after - planning for next term.
Have stripped DS's bed, am about to strip mine, DD did hers. Did washing.
Cleaned DR last might. Have made mess in DR ransacking 'heap' for missing planning file. Found missing planning file. *sigh*Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Quick check in to see whats left on the lists. I've "deep cleaned" the kitchen except for inside the cupboards and the top of the cupboards. I even pulled the TD out and vaccumed it all out then scrubbed the floor underneath it. It was filthy
DD is just cleaning the brass but has flown upstairs solo. The dog has spent the day sulking.

Had a lovely day out with DH today at another NT property. We walked round the (small) estate, beautiful gardens and very interesting Tudor house. DH paid for lunch
and I bought some excellent books for the DGC at very reduced prices :money: which I will ask the man in red to deliver :santa2:
Not much else has been achieved today, apart from a few little bits of computer work.
Very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your lunch, CY :T
"Phew!" to the file, Valli :cool:
Not surprised your dog has been sulking while you've been doing all that flying, nicki
I can't imagine you as a one-armed bandit, LW :rotfl:

Evening all,
Progress made today, despite paid stuff. Also nice dog walk this evening with a lovely pink and purple sunset and spooky looking moon.
CY glad you have appetite, that in itself I'm sure will make you feel brighter. poohbear wow, posh and free holiday! :money: LW ingenious solutions re one handed flying!
I am now not at paid stuff for a full week and a day so I'm off to crack open a bottle of something to celebrate. :j

Lottie on her last trip to Rainbow Bridge... gentle passing wishes for her and hugs for my spiky mother much appreciated!
By way of massive coincidence.. the man who had offered his dog to give Lottie a blood transfusion, who my mother has known a long time randomly mentioned where he had once worked.. He actually worked with my uncle who died a few years ago and had some fabulous memories of him.. It was almost as if he was sending my mother a message saying 'I will be there for Lottie' .. crazy that it would happen now, after all this time!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0
