Aimee, I'd love to have your energy, you really work hard and play hard don't you! Good that you're getting organised food wise too,...

Believe me i didnt have this energy for the last few weeks. Stuff was getting me down. Its amazing how by getting back on top of the cleaning and sorting the food out so im eating properly has managed to boost my mood and clear my head (well a bit!) But thank you i do try to work hard play even harder

Oh gosh, just logged back on to check my list and it's 2050 and I'm still at work! Very impressed with everyone's achievements today :T Sorry I can't remember what everyone has posted, but hope your hads are ok Nicki.

PigPen thanks for your tip with flatmate, will try it out.

Loving this motivational thread! I'm off to the shops to buy cooking stuff etc., and head home to cook and WM and iron...late night for me :eek:

Gosh I have loads of my list still to do and I am exhausted!!

I'm going to collect some £1 coins from my mothers, then I am going to find the uniforms and have a very quick run through the front room. Hubby can make sarnies for the childrens packed lunches and I'll find the uniforms.. then I'll have a shower and wash my nest then and only then will I go to bed!!!

I want to sleep NNNOOOWWWWW!!!!!

Back in a bit.. *yawn* with £1 coins for the oldest 3's lunches & bus fare tomorrow *yawn*

Took DS to woodcraft and got collared to stay and help as things went a bit pear shaped with the planning this week.
So no trip to the shops means I've got that to do tomorrow which is a pain as I really didn't want to be using the car again as the indicators are playing up big time. Thank goodness it's going in for it's MOT on Thursday.
Have just had a cuppa and custard tart to cheer me up!

Have only managed to dust in the front room, everything else from today's list will have to move to tomorrow I've had enough.
And DH is moaning to be about DS and the way he's talking to him. I think I should record a conversation so he can hear what I have to listen to when they are both bickering! :mad:

Hi all
DS had his first day at school today, think it went ok - he is a typical man and gives no feedback LOL. He had a bit of a wobble when we arrived as we were early and all the bigger kids were still out in the playground. But after they all went in and then there were just the tinies left, including a couple of kids he knew from preschool, he was ok again. But there were no tears and when we went back in to get his painting he seemd to know where to look and what the score was so I guess he's settled in ok. Will be interesting to see if he is ok tomorrow as well, now he knows what to expect or if the nivelty will have worn off. I was fine too in the day but had a bit of a sob tonight. Pesky hormones.

I can't remember who else had a DS starting today - shell or Nicki was it ? well hope everything went well for you as well.

No babyyet.

Hi all

Not much done in the line of flying as DH still on holiday. We went off to a country park for a walk and picnic. Before we went we:-

S & S Kitchen
WM done and pegged out
Batch of Everyday Biscuits made
Picnic made

Came home, DD1 wanted to go up and down road (well pavement:D ) on her bike so had a coffee out the front while I watched her. We then played in the back garden for a while. I resisted the urge to get the lawnmower out and just played with girls.

Tidied our bedroom as difficult to see the carpet at any point, so rest of holiday packing put away.

Got DD1 stuff out for her first day at school tomorrow (only in for the morning) camera is currently on charge - she seems excited about it today so fingers crossed. I have my interview at 9.30 too. Dont think it is gonna be any good as full time and I think taking the childcare element into account I will probably come out with the same as now - very confussing .

Tomorrow I shall make a lunch-time tea party to celebrate DD's day at school including a fresh cream victoria sponge (I really must get back on the diet wagon:eek: ).

Had a driving lesson tonight, left reverse!

Sorry for the waffle and lack of flying but dailies ticking over but i do pledge to be back with full steam on Monday - due to working over the weekend:mad: .

Hope everyone is happy, healthy and well
