    Morning all! Glad you had sunshine ATB - been nothing like that around here the last few days. Misty again today; am vainly hoping it lifts and the sun comes but I think that's wishful thinking.

    Amazingly, my Flying head is still on after yesterday's exertions so got a load in the washing machine and washed up all the dishes from last night (yes I know, I'm a slob). DH is unloading the DW as we speak. I haven't looked at the list yet but will do what I can from it.

    MrsMP how are you managing to do 4 roles! What a star DH is.

    Jojo I hope the pain eases today; I used to really struggle with AF the first day.

    Catch you all later.

    Morning all.

    Thick fog outside - definitely can't even call it mist.

    Nice to "see" you Mrs M-P. I could do with borrowing your DH for help around the house. Far more use than my DH is. But then when he does help, he doesn't do the job how I want it, so he can't win really.

    Today I must:
    Change bedding and get it washed
    Tackle the ironing pile
    Clean bedrooms and bathroom.
    Sort out some blinds for the landing
    Finish the last dregs of the paperwork
    Fill bird feeders
    Collect DD. I've really missed her not being here, even if all that she has missed is her own bed, heating and hot water.

    First of all I'm making a cupoa to help me get started.

    [STRIKE]Change bedding and get it washed[/STRIKE]. Done. Duvet changed as I am getting sick of being so HOT at night! DH will have to have an extra blanket if he is cold.
    Tackle the ironing pile - still looking at me
    [STRIKE]Clean bedrooms and bathroom.[/STRIKE] Done. Took an age as everywhere was so dusty.
    Sort out some blinds for the landing - next job after lunch as I'm starving
    Finish the last dregs of the paperwork - ditto above. And more has arrived in the post. *sigh*
    [STRIKE]Fill bird feeders[/STRIKE]

    Impressive cupboard turn out, Pigpen.:T

    Downstairs apart from the kitchen is still a tip. I'm not opening the baking cupboard in the kitchen to see what is lurking there.
    Soup now, then paperwork bits and then the ironing I think. Oh yes, and I've just figured out strikethrough and coloured font! I'm not the quickest off the block....:rotfl:

    Afternoon flyers. Hope you're all ok and that any poorlies feel better soon.

    Not a lot of flying is getting done here. I did some gardening yesterday. I'm just reporting in to thank you all for your posivibes - I got the job I wanted.

    Enjoy the rest of the day.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Well done, Jazee! :T :T :T

    Why does sorting a few bits of paper take so long? Done now, as is the ironing pile. I need to collect DD in an hour, so not enough time to do anything except maybe sit down and sort through a magazine or 2 ;)

    Well done Jazee!!

    Goodness Pigpen - your cupboards sound as bad as ours! Isn't it nice when they're done though (not that I'd know that feeling, can just imagine).

    Done a few bits and pieces around here; maybe not quite as much as yesterday but never mind that.

    Nice easy tea tonight - fishfingers, chips and peas.
