  • Hi all,

    Thanks for list natty and for last week piggers .
    I'm sort of in, but this week is horrible, as its half term but I've got no time off the paid stuff so lots of child juggling and driving to mum and dads etc going on.


    Welcome to newbies and returners xx

    mmm and nicki they are some fairly huge lists you've got going on there, it makes me tired just reading them!

    coppers , seems like you have a mega busy life, hope the thread helps don't try to do too much.

    huston I have given up trying to play catch up, it does no good! It all comes round again next week anyway.

    BTW flying today limited to a mad rush round for an hour after work, DW, wm, hoovered kitchen and general tidied up. Then drove over to mum and dads (an hour away) as they are looking after the sprogs tomorrow.

    See you later everyone x

    Sorry not much flying today; long assessment, really nice guy but quite complex. Spent rest of afternoon/eve getting roast dinner ready as we had friends to stay. Mr N had afternoon off to go and help them decorate a house locally - they moved a couple of years ago and rented house out, now want to sell. Ate too much but at least I got to take their lovely whippet out for a jog even if it was only 10 mins. Will try harder tomorrow (gym then uni for 2 student lessons).

    Hope the Frizzling continues to improve.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Evening all.

    Just popping in quickly to update my list. I've just done a 14 hour day due to multiple problems with multiple orders (25 orders, 9 needed personalised calling cards writing and orders recalculating, and 7 needed free gifts finding then wrapping) and I have another 4 hours minimum to do tomorrow. I have more work besides that to do but it's not time sensitive as long as its done before the 22nd then the 24th when I make those deliveries :o I'd like to have it done tomorrow if I can as I'm hoping to have the end of the week off except for any odd deliveries in the evenings and a trip to the bank.

    DD did a couple of hours work for me (I've said I'll double her wages this time if she helped out more), then her homework, then spent the rest of the day playing games on her laptop. Tomorrow I'm going to nag her to wash up and fly while I get on with work and laundry juggling.

    This week:
    Mon: newsletters,
    Tue: Books, Deliver p.m - Rem tea ~ pasta bake
    Wed: Dentists (me 9.40, DD after me), Remind DD ex's anniversary, Frog munching
    Thu:

    Sat: Ex here, finish lists.
    Sun: Back to school stuff.

    Demould hall (incl front door), livingroom, kitchen :(

    Morning all. Have had a quick skim read but nothing stays in at this time of day, so hope you're all ok.

    I'm just going to potter in the kitchen this morning before the paid stuff. And have been reminded by someone on this thread that I too need to sort out a greetings card - so thanks whoever you are!

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Good morning all:wave: bit brass out there today....brrr...

    MUST CLEAN THE FISH TANK TODAY! I'm surprised the poor things can still breathe with the amount of algae on the glass. Got a food shop coming between 10-12, but otherwise free to fly today (small people notwithstanding) and boy, is there some flying to be done _pale_

    Huston I never worry about catching up - if it's not done on the day then it drops off the list. I figure anything I can do is an improvement on not doing anything!

    Dizzy I know what you mean re the algae - we have 3 bristlenose plecs and they do quite a good job of keeping the glass clean; funny looking things they are!

    Narco yay to 10 minute jogs with lovely Whippets!

    Nicki you work really hard with your paid stuff - hope you'll be able to take a bit of time off.


    Been awake for quite a long time before I got up this morning. I have another paid job in which I'll do first thing, then clean and I'm hoping the garage will ring me in good time so I'll be able to pick up the Focus from its MOT - I'll walk Whiz down there and drive him back so reverse of yesterday. It's really cold in here; I don't think our heating is quite right but once I get dressed and moving around I'm sure it'll be fine. If not I can always light the woodburner.

    Have a good day all x

    Morning folks. I'm in as much as possible with it being half term.

    We have had a challenging weekend. I would appreciate some stay out of trouble vibes for ds1 His spending is also still out of control.:(:mad:

    DH has had trouble at'mill.

    Lots of items posted on FB sales sites. Had to split between 3 sites as had so much stuff.

    Yesterday's Plan was to have a look around the train station when we dropped off ds1 as ds2 was disappointed when he didn't go with school. He didn't want to and wanted to return to the car.



    Basics were done & bra washing. :T

    Ds2 has had a lie in and has just got up, best get on.

    Welcome newbies and returners x
