    This tickled me because I'm in too and I've been missing for many, many years :rotfl:

    Don't know whether I'll follow the list or my own as we are away on Friday for a much needed break. Whatever list I follow, much flying will be done :T

    Hugs to all, love Thriftyxxx

    We can back in (ish) together! I used to be well known for not actually keeping on list...or at least only doing the bits I wanted to do. I will try harder. Enjoy your break :beer:

    Thank you Honey Bear for the new list, and Natty for last week's.

    I will do what I can, which may not be much - but my RoD is the study and I am in and out like a yoyo so it should be tidy by tomorrow evening :rotfl:

    Welcome back Mudbath and thriftyscotslass :wave: :wave:

    Happy hols to Valli and froddington.
    I am wondering if pigpen & co stayed to the end?

    DH is now on a proper ward :)

    Welcome home thriftyscotslass and Mudders - good to see old friends returning.

    I confess I've spent most of this evening playing The Witcher on the pc. I have, however, cleaned up The Swamp - there are no longer any Drowned Dead to bother the residents. :D (It's therapeutic bashing the living daylights out of monsters, especially when you can't do "heavy" stuff in RL). ;)

    Optician appt tomorrow, so we'll se how we go from there.

    Happy holidays Valli and Froddy.

    ETA Where are my manners - GWS wishes to Mr Ionafan; Mr LW had double pneumonia as a child, and has told me a lot about the experience, so I have some inkling of the worry you must be going through. x

    Morning all :hello:

    Not much flying done over the weekend: I was shattered on Saturday - suspect I should have paced myself more last week :o, I need to get the hang of these spoons :D; and yesterday I was out of the house all day watching DS race :eek: (He races go-karts and finished 7th out of 21. :T) All that fresh air, sunshine and walking zonked me out - so it was pizza delivery and HP on telly when we got home.

    Honeybear Thank you for the info re: docking stations and the positive effects of dot to dotting. I had a couple of conversations with friends over the weekend re: the merits of cordless vacuums. (Both friends required sedation for shock afterwards :rotfl: Well to be honest one said 'Who are you? And where's Donna?' and the other said 'I never expected to have a conversation like this with you') (after 25 years you think he'd know me better than that :rotfl:)

    So - the kitchen is on the menu today. I have the dailies to do then I am going to shine the sink and prepare a meal plan for the week. On list on week 2 - wow!! ( Thank you Honeybear :) ) I'll also MAD in the kitchen today building on last week's achievements. I've a telephone counselling session this morning - which sometimes wipes me out so I'll watch my spoons! And Mr T is delivering this afternoon (which will help with the meals plans - fridge looks like Mother Hubbard's at the moment!)

    Healing vibes being sent to Mr Ionafan and hugs to Ionafan. Glad to hear you have supportive friends around you.

    Thanks for the wishes.

    Hello Mudders!

    Hols started a day early as I came down for the pub quiz...and we wone! Kudos only but hey!

    Items forgotten

    1 glasses - had them in my bag, took them out to write an envelope. Left them.

    2 toothbrush head for electric toothbrush - oops. Scrounged spare new manual one off sister.

    I have, though, got my prescription sunnies and my kindle and my iPad so I can photograph and magnify...


    Going off grid shortly. Have a lovely week all I will miss you!
