    Hello

    Not sure where today has gone. Done homework, cleaned out piggies (DS said "ooo conservatory smells nice, mum" lol), made chicken casserole, cleaned kitchen after, did a wash, put few bits laundry away.

    Made a list of supplies needed for party, so need to pop out tomorrow. Also need to order / pay for new specs, book kids eye tests and my smear test _pale_

    Pretty tired so early night I think, for me.

    Welcome new flyladies, get the kettle on :)
    Fingers crossed for kazw and hugs all round xx

    Wow. The power of MSE. Don't know how you managed it. We started looking at 0530, I looked for about an hour during the day, and we spent another 1/2 hr this evening. I just looked - somewhere that had already been 'searched' apparently. Yahooooooo:D
    Great news; I was going to start berating all the Usual Suspects. :rotfl:

    Not sure if I'll be in tomorrow folks; I've had fearful heartburn all afternoon, and feeling more than a little ropy right now. I'll see how I go. ;)

    Kaz fingers crossed. Hoping we'll hear about J's job tomorrow too so fingers and toes crossed actually for both of you!

    LameWolf hope you'll be OK tonight sweetheart and get a decent night's sleep.

    Hoping I'll get some flying done tomorrow as I do feel a bit of a fraud of late; hardly doing anything! Just hope Valli is kind to us with tomorrow's list!!

    Off to bed now with new friend Mirtazapine ..... may not be on here too early tomorrow zzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I suggest you just supervise tomorrow LW :) I've not done much more than laundry and continual cleaning of the kitchen floor, so I really do need nagging to get the office sorted out.

    Morning all
    Hope the shoulder is easing Iona and that Dh is alright.
    Lw hope you managed to get some sleep and the heartburn is easing for you.
    Welcome to all the new flyers
    Hugs and get well vibes to all the poorlies.
    Still a bit tired as we were out at midnight picking ds1 up from the station, another gig tonight this ones a promoters event so he's hoping to get a bit of interest and a few more booking out of it, (things going well for him vibes would be apprechiated) someone told him the other night, "hope you don't take this the wrong way but you really remind me of frank turner" he was laughing as he wasn't sure how that could be taken as anything other than a compliment.

    Anyhow better go and shift the boys and make a start.

    Ps glad the missing keys turned up.

    Good morning, hugs to those that need them xx
    I had a bad day yesterday but today I am full of the joys, so will complete yesterday's list. I have decided against paying so much money on oven clean. I will try and struggle on my dodgy knees. I really can't justify spending that sort of money when I can do it myself.So today I am making a slow cooker meal and will roll my sleeves up and tackle it .
    Have a good day everyone x
