    Hi,

    Thank you ladies for the lists. Sorry, Valli, I've only just mastered quotes, I think I might be rubbish at setting lists.

    Roundtuit - glad you've got a name for it, and hopefully the meds will sort you out quickly.

    It's a full day at work today, a few things planned for the week ahead, and then we are away at the weekend. Flying? Level 1 and anything else is a bonus this week. Why do I always think that school holidays means more flying time? You would think I would learn by now.

    Dogs got walked, dentist visited, kitchen emptied of appliances (which means now the rest of the house is in disarray and I can't do some of the jobs I planned. Washing is up to date, but not put away yet.


    Hot again and I CBA to do anything else today.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    My once in a blue moon check in, I need the help of flylady today to keep me motivated on what has been a day from hell so far :(

    Our 6 year old dog died in the night. He had not been ill so vet wants to do a post mortem to see why a perfectly fit dog should die so suddenly and in the way he did

    I have taken the day off work as had to take him to the vet etc and clean where he was. Need to disinfect everywhere and keep an eye on our other dog as he is so confused as to where his buddy is.

    DD2's belongings shifted to her new place... I now need to do a huge amount of flingage in the middle room and maybe even get all OTT and drag out a roller and spruce it up.. so sick of everywhere looking tired. I don't feel up to any of it but I cannot abide the state of the house at the moment.

    Very sorry to hear about your dog, Gilly.



    I'm sorry I didn't do the lists this week, Valli. Next time you need a stand in I'll volunteer if no-one else does.


    Still working in and on the yard, so indoor flying will have to carry on waiting.

    Shame.
    Better is good enough.
