LW - I like you, especially because you like dogs.

^^^ wot she says!

We are on an inset day today so holibobs start a day early here. Thought I'd try for a lie in, you know, maybe everybody would be kind...pffft...

11pm -　GirlDog (AKA !!!!!Lips this morning) refuses to come back in for bed, refusing instead to run around like a loon in the paddock. DH says leave her out - there's the barn if she gets cold...

1am - GirlDog blunders into the electric chicken fence which is set on 'high'. Cue loud yelping which woke me up. Would she come in? What do you think?

2am - Small complaining his bed is too hot. Sent away with instructions to fluff it up and turn the cold side of his duvet onto him.

3.15am - Tiny falls out of bed...

4.23am precisely - !!!!!Lips scratching at the door. I ignore but am now awake. It stops and I hear her playing in the garden, clattering sticks about.

NOW THE (bleep) SUN DECIDES TO RISE - normally not an issue but DH pulled the curtain rail down last night so no curtains to protect me from unwelcome light.

5am, or thereabouts, I must've nodded off only to be woken by my 6am alarm that I had forgotten to cancel :mad:.

Got up. Fed pets. Madam comes in for that!!! Made tea and now sulking in bed.

I'm gonna be lovely today :eek:

Oh LW I could have written that post. Personally I think you are a very special kind of person. You always have something interesting to say, you understand and love our doggie friends and you get on with stuff despite the lupus. But I understand how you feel.

So .. house is reasonably clean and tidy but only because I have been spending at least 2 hrs every day cooking and cleaning on top of working 6-7 hrs. Came home yesterday to pots in the sink and the dw full despite DH and DS being home for part of the day. But whats the point in moaning (although I did) because it will never make any flippin difference.

Anyhow, sun is shining, its Friday and I am going to get my hair done after work. Need to do 10 minutes pilates then get ready for the paid stuff. Have a good day everyone x

Dizzy tire them out and and get them in bed at 6pm tonight!!! Hope your day gets better x

Good morning all. Hugs and get well wishes to those that need them.

This week has gone to pot. I managed to strip wash dry and remake our bed on Tuesday and that was it as we had a trip to the dairy farm.

No actual flying Wednesday. Spent the morning at the garden centre as the beans really need replanting. Did remember to fill the car and collected dog food on way back. Also managed to collect a tank of tadpoles, kids are fascinated.

Yesterday was spent with a home ed family and afternoon at school. Did manage lots of washing yesterday.

So today I need a big kick to get going on the list. Was going to get hoover out on the stairs but rememberdon't Dh has just gone to bed so think I'll start on the living room first.

Ooooh hello (sneaks back in after over a week)

Friday really is too late to say thanks for the lists and I'm in, isn't it?
Well I am though.

Valli I hope everything is OK. Hugs xxx

Welcome Rubyx

I have had a super busy couple of weeks, last week my mum and dad were up for the week (thankfully not staying with us as the house has moved on to another level of building-siteness) for their golden wedding, so we saw quite a lot of them which was lovely.
This week I have been off work to do renovation stuff. OH and I have pulled all the plasterboard off the kitchen walls. It was very messy. There is still a lot of dust around.

So today: Friday is FLYDAY!!!!

I have walked the dog this morning, so I'm setting to with the lists now. All level ones, here I come. OOH and I've loads of ironing to do...

Will report back soon!

Thanks; I knew someone would "get" it. I love that peeps enjoy my posts, but I'm just convinced in my own mind that if they met me in RL, they'd be royally disappointed. It's mega lack of self-confidence I suppose; too many years of being told I was a completely useless lump, and no-one would ever be interested in anything I had to say, and a whole load of other carp.
I will pluck up the courage one day..... I hope.:o

Anyways, Bluebell's tea time - pilchards tonight for her! _pale_

Daily stuff done

I hope everyone is ok in Valliland X

Just popping in. I have fitted in lots of flying but my eyes are too tired to list it. It has been a trying week. I have forgotten my bank card PIN number after having it for over 10 years. I think it is due to stress.

Lost 3lbs this week. Total lost is 9.5lbs since 17/3.

Bedtime for little bears now. Goodnight all x

Valli

My dad has had his op, has a new stent and should be discharged today.
Thanks for your wishes and thoughts xxx
Off now - phew!
Going to write a list for the hols . Want to do some gardening. This weekend would be a good time to garden, the weather looks glorious.

Dancemum excellent weight loss!

Great new Valli

I'm catching up after being away. Thankfully kitchen was left clean and tidy so no nightmare to come back to. Holiday washing through. Going to alternate Paid work/Flying/Garden clearing. Interspersed with 10 min tea breaks.

Been to the gym and run errands. I can't go into town as DH needs me in case he gets a new car organised today and I need to provide transport.

Glorious sunshine. I can see the Gardening getting more than proportionate attention.:D

Morning all!

Valli I'm glad you dad is OK.
Am I allowed a woot that it is the holidays? WOOT! My children are absolutely exhausted.

Yesterday I got loads done. I started the list from scratch, so if its gone its done. Today I have had a lazy morning, but now I'm off taking the girls to their riding lesson - its a beautiful day so I'm planning to mow the grass and do a bit more in the garden (I did some weeding yesterday) plus also take the dog for a nice long walk. Then I'll carry on with what is left from the list later on.

Have a good day everyone x
