    Just having my morning tea break :)

    Have stripped kiddies beds. DS room was starting to smell boy. Anyone growing up with a brother will know what that was like :rotfl:

    Also cleaned all sinks and loos, S&S kitchen and emptied DW and put everything away.

    Suitcases are down. I might spend an hour studying, then after lunch go and look at packing or at least organising :)

    Well done Valli xx

    (((Hugs))) Dizzy, Gilly, YorkshireLass, Jazee and ATB plus anyone else who is struggling.

    I'm glad you're getting some answers for Mr Ionafan and it sounds as though they've perked him right up. Good.

    For everyone feeling sluggish and just generally grim, please remember that this is the lowest time of year, and with the lengthening days this too shall pass.

    Welcome Amara! :wave:

    Well done on the weightloss, FBO.

    Mountains of paperwork were dealt with yesterday as well as the obvious flying that needed to be tackled but I'd been ignoring. It was one of the most productive days I've had in months, so hopefully today will see the back of the rest of it. The carrot being dangled on a stick in front of me is sewing, but it seems to be just as far away as when I started this blitz.
    Better is good enough.

    Well done on your weightlosses, FBO and Valli. I decluttered half a pound this week - better than nothing!

    Just after I posted my previous reply, DH decided that he didn't feel up to going to SW this morning :( We did, however, manage a 25-minute amble in the sunshine before lunch.

    I did all my fluttering before SW and am now waiting for a friend to come and give me a basic manicure, then I'm off to college.
  • Amazing weightloss Valli and FBO! I hope the sunshine today has helped a little with some of the BDs hovering around.


    I'm in again this week please, I tend to be off list but I find reading the lists and everyone's comments prevents me from falling completely off the wagon! My only flying job for today is to hoover and dust downstairs.


    The whole house is a bit upside down because of some renovating we're currently doing, we've got things stored everywhere which makes flying quite difficult!
  • Just having five minutes before I start kiddies tea. Had a much busier morning than I anticipated flogging my wares on fleabay :D sold a fair bit straight away with the Buy It Now facility, which was great. Also sold some bits on Music Magpie - only £6 mind, but it only took 5 minutes so was well worth it....

    Stripped DS bedding, so I need to get that re-made shortly. Picked up a few essentials at the shop, went to the post office and returned library book. Could quite happily curl up with a book now but DH not home until much later so onwards I go x

    :A A big thank you for all the hugs :A

    I am fighting the BD by doing Monday's list with a vengeance and had a little smile when DH came home at lunch time and commented on the difference.

    Levels 1 and 2, WM x 3, DW x 1

    Just utility room to do, but it looks like a bomb has hit it so may leave that for hubby as a lot of the clutter in there is "blue" stuff

    Can't decide what to do for dinner tonight. I am following SW but fancy a Thai curry and no matter how hard I try I cannot make that low syn

    Thank you all again

    Oh right, yes I think I have heard that before,just did not put the initials together! Thanks Valli.
    Had a bit of a lazy day but promise tomorrow I will try harder. Just don't know what's up with me at the moment. Never mind its half term soon and we have a few nice things planned.
