    Right I'm in. Been AWOL again for weeks and my house looks awful!

    Going to do level 1 lounge
    S and S bathrooms (I know the boys one is awful!)
    Kitchen window ledge clearing

    That'll do - right got about 1 hour now!

    So far flying has involved a lot of admin.
    One load through DW.
    One load through WM.
    One report finished and emailed.
    Mr N spoke to insurance and grudgingly agreed what they will give us for the written off car - more than they wanted to but less than we wanted, as is usual.
    Went to Clubbercise.
    Went out and to our surprise, bought a new car.
    Rang insurance again to discuss new car, hire car, road tax on old car etc. Shuffled lots of paper and wrote lots of notes down.
    Started another report.

    Not a lot of flying achieved here apart from the dailies, as usual for a Monday. Recycling out, lounge dusted, things sorted for the morning.
    Another one here also fed up with the weather - It hammered it down this afternoon.

    Am contemplating buying myself some wool as I really fancy knitting again. I'm supposed to be decluttering all the various craft stuff around the house, but I might call it an early mother's day present to myself :o
  • Hi all x

    Work went really well and I actually knew someone else there. All the staff are lovely and chatted away. It made things so much easier. Came home and OH had done a little tidy up when he was home for lunch. So I've stuck the WM and TD on, sorted something to eat and made up tomorrow's lunches and fired them in the fridge.

    A wee bit more WM and TD and I will lay out clothes for tomorrow and then I'm in bed shattered.com

    Love, hugs spoons to all those needing them especially our poorlies xx

    I have achieved my club 10 award (10% of my bodyweight lost) and am slimmer of the week. I now have TWO fruitbowls full!

    Flying was WM, TD and DW x 1 (each)
    oh - and fluffy mule dusting!

    Glad the migraine is going ionafan, congratulations on the weight loss Valli and sending nice neighbour vibes your way dancemum.

    Not a whole lot of flying done today, took the dog, DH and DD out for a very wet walk with a friend and her clan this morning. Decluttered a nap with DD after lunch, seem to be permanently exhausted at the moment. All dailies done,plus dog coat and towels washed.
