    WAAAAAHHHH as CF throws his toys out of the cot. Gods, what an absolute w@*ker - and I don't usually use that word, even in coded form.

    CY (((gentle HUGS))) - sorry your so-called friend doesn't do "horrid stuff". I'm afraid she's going to find out at some stage that "!!!!!! happens" and one has to deal with it accordingly.

    Morning all :wave:

    I've been up since 03:15, as I had to take DH to the airport for an early flight - he's off playing with steam trains in Poland for a week :D Woke to find the car still covered in snow from last night's blizzard (NB we're in the West Midlands region, not the north of Scotland :eek:) and it took us a quarter of an hour to clear the windows sufficiently to see out, even with the heater on full blast. The snow had melted and then re-frozen in thick icy lumps, and even after three quarters of an hour's drive in each direction to and from the airport there is still snow/ice on the roof and bonnet :snow_grin Kazwookie, I was thinking about you and it being "too late" to plant stuff out - no way! (unless you want ready-frozen peas).

    But we've had a beautiful sunrise this morning :)

    Welcome back Lemanie.
    CY, glad you got to your book club.
    GWS LW.
    Pigpen, he is the pits.

    I've had my breakfast and 2 mugs of coffee, so must knuckle down to work now.
    - prepare for tonight's course
    - more reading
    - WMx1
    - quick trip into town: go to 2 banks, put some money onto my Euros card, and remember to buy spare lightbulbs
    - if it thaws out, do bits in the garden
    - if not, clean out the fridge and do other Flying jobs in the house
    - pop round to see the neighbours and explain about the strange car that will be parked on our drive for the weekend.
    - catch up on zzz this afternoon
    - go out to my course this evening

    As I shall be getting up at 03:15 again on Friday, I have decided to do a time shift tomorrow as well!

    (((Hugs))) spoons and stick all round, as needed. Hope everyone has a good day x

    iona:wave: from clear blue sky, glorious (but cold) Scottish sun.

    Not up as early as you, but a productive morning nevertheless. I think I have finally perfected my GF Healthy Chocolate Brownie recipe. (Still cooling and a little too early to taste test but it looks lovely and gooey!)

    Walked Furry Beast. DH fed and pack up made. Tonights dinner in SC. Kitchen S&S. Shortly off to the gym, then back to some serious flying - Monday and Tuesday seem to have passed me by:D

    Have a great day everyone.

    Morning ladies!

    Ground floors currently in the process of being broken up so I have retreated to the caravan.

    Have made enquiries about the cost of moving the electricity meter and now need to ring the dog cage manufacturer to organise installation. Also have to pop something to the engraver, do a tip run and collect Tiny from nursery (after lunch)...

    Cuppa first...

    Right, I'm in, let's blitz this house! Still going on decluttering - old bank statements today (I've read Martin's guide, where would we be without him). I also need to find a plumber - any websites you'd recommend? And I think I'll accept that I will never clean my oven - Piggers I think I read you have someone come and do it. How does it work? Do they put stuff on and come back? Is it just for a fancy oven, rather than normal?
    I'll read back when I'm flagging for inspiration...
