Need to go and get ready for work so just quickly saying hi, glad things are better now CY. DS has transferred to York hospital and they give him steriods before his infusion which reduces the risk of allergic reaction. I didnt know steriods did that.
Anyhow, better dash, will catch up later. Sorry to hear so many bugs going about, we have hopefully got rid of the nasties here.0 -

Kaz that reminds me of when we first let our cat out after having him confined to the house for a month after adopting him. He hadn't come home at bedtime and I spent an age gazing out of the window thinking he was sitting on a wall down the road deciding if to come back. Next morning revealed him asleep on the settee as he'd snuck in sometime and the thing I'd been watching as an overhanging plant.
Nails now sparkly green so I'll leave the washing up for Dh at lunchtime and get ready to go and scare some kiddies.
Thankful to see the garden fence still upright after the strong overnight winds, it was leaning badly over towards the pub yesterday evening so me the boys and the lad next door pushed it upright while Dh put some temp support back in along ours and neighbour's side. It's supposed to be being replaced so we'd taken the temp supports out to make removing easier but found out yesterday work has been delayed for two weeks while stuff is ordered- will be amazed if it lasts that long.SPC~12 ot 124

Morning all.
CY - Glad your okay. Take it easy and drink!!!
Didn't do much flying yesterday at all when I got back from the shops. DD did some of the washing up, I tided up the kitchen again including putting most of the shopping away. Now I need to find a home for the huge bag of crisps I bought that isn't too easy to get to so that I won't munch them allWM went on with cleaning cloths again, and I did 2 sewing repairs. I was in bed for 10pm just a pity I didn't get to sleep until about 11.30.
I've already put some clean washing away, put a wash load of towels on and caught up with all my online things while having breakfast and my second coffee of the dayNow the plan is to fly for a bit before starting work at 9.30. No flinging though, there's not enough room in the bins if I want to put normal rubbish in there as well
I wonder how much I can get done?

Is there anybody there? :rotfl:
I'm busy working but just having a break to drink a hot coffee. Did lots of flying this morning including cleaning DD's bedroom and then washing the outside of my bedroom window! I just need to drag Henry upstairs for the bedrooms to be done. Since my non-computer based work is nearly finished I'm planning on grooming Zack, then fly a little more as the polish & duster can be seen out the corner of my eye and they're actually calling to me :eek: WM is working hard, load 4 is nearly finished as I found a basket of damp clothing sat on the table which I thought was dry
