Morning all
Welcome to the new flyers, the returners and the lurkers
Hugs good wishes positive vibes, sticks and spoons where needed.
Half terms over here so paid stuff calling, I've got mindful meditation again tonight so pretty full day. But I will squeeze flying in, between paid and meditating most likely while I'm making food for everyone.
I did break the back of mount ironmore last night so table is piled with stuff that now needs putting away, that will also be done tonight.
Have a good day everyone xSPC~12 ot 124

Morning all
I am in Valli, thank you xx
It is half term here! Fortunately the grandparents are helping out a bit so I won't get too far behind with paid stuff. So far I have made DH lunch (gammon done in SC, yum), he's gone to work, unloaded and reloaded DW, and children are now Weetabixing the world.
We are going volunteering at 9, then straight to SiL's for lunch. Back home to do some flying then visiting more family later.
Finally found a light fitting for the top of the stairs - we have had nothing there for over a year, I just stopped seeing it
Have fab days all xxMFW

Hi, I am still around just been pottering off like I tend to do! Work has been picking up and I actually applied for a job in a coffee shop just around the corner from here so been very brave ..... didn't get it but at least I tried! J still looking for work and I'm now on a mild sedative as things get a bit too much for me sometimes (hence the disappearing act - sorry).
Did give the kitchen a little going over on Saturday so will get the list from the printer and off I go. Actually off riding this afternoon so looking forward to that.
Flying wise today - WM done and hung up, clean clothes put away, curtains opened, um .......Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
make sure there's nothing slowly decomposing in the fridge
Afraid Flying won't really happen til Wednesday; I have ECG this afternoon and hearing test tomorrow; both of which I am dreading, so totally stressed out, which is not conducive to painfree Flying.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

Hope its goes Ok LW and the staff are nice to you x
Up at 6.15am, spent 45 minutes blitzing the kitchen then off to work.
Home in good time, ran around with the carpet sweeper and tidied up, flung open some windows, made our bed, swished the loos and put a load of washing in. Just back from walking the dog and the washing is nearly done so will hang that out.
Then on with paid stuff, curry is sorted for tea.
Oh and I came home to an empty house, DS1 had been asked to go into work and DS2 has gone to a friends. Felt strangely sad, was expecting them both to be home, which is very silly!
Right, work to be done.0 -
Hello :wave:
We are back! But I'm probably not in this week - mostly laundry and studying. Assignment not due yet but ideally want to finish it this week.
Today has disappeared in a haze of getting kids up (not in bed till 11:30 due to flights etc), grocery shopping and bringing the pets home. They are happily re-installed in our conservatory and have been very well looked after - cage was nice and clean and they are clearly well fed
I've to go get the kids in a mo and I expect they will be beyond tired. Hoping for a quiet evening, baths and early nights all round!
Was a wonderful holiday - not felt this relaxed in a long time! Hoping to hold on to that feeling for a while yet. "Don't worry be happy".
Hoping you are all ok, I haven't read last weeks thread but hope to slowly catch up this week, even if I'm off-list!
