Good afternoon xx
I'm up, dressed, made my bed, sploshed bleach down the loo, FUPA clean clothes, put away the airer, fed the birds and put out the recycling. All with a limp.....and an occasional ouch. I'm getting the knack of favouring my left leg - but that's making my right hip grumble. Marvellous 🤦♀️
Hope you're all well and enjoying your day

My general sim in live is u to I be a little bit more organised… the fly method is amazing, I just need that kick up the bum to complete it.I’m on my own tomorrow as DH and DS are both out so I’m going to do a reset ahead of the next weekly thread on Monday.I hope everyone has a great weekend!CA238 -
todays driver has as good a sense of direction as I.
I now know where Fulwood is.
But we found our way back here.
Having spent the evening under a blanket, and some of the afternoon in bed i’m now back in bed with walter. i’m so cold. At least i get two days off. If i don’t improve i won’t be going to my nephews on Sunday.

Good morning
welcome number_23!
Little flying was done after my early start yesterday other than bathroom floor hoovered and final bits tidied. Walked the dogs with DH and DD the she and I stayed in town for a mooch and a coffee for a couple of hours. DS, DD-IL and DGS came round in the afternoon so quality family time all round. F&C supper which just seems so expensive now but it was Good Friday so had to be done. Spent the rest of the evening helpingDD who decided she wanted to make a brand new elasticated waist dress into a skirt and top 🥹. We’re halfway done so the sewing machine will probably be out later to see what mess I can make of it!
Currently having a lie in, although did get up to let 🐶 out for a wee and feed her, cuppa brought back to bed.
Sun is shining so I sure of plans for rest of day, DH unlikely to want to do anything, he never does 😆 so do I decorate the utility room or start tidying up outside in the yard?

Good morning my lovelies? Have we all slept well and are raring to go? Or do we need another brew or two to wake us up first?
I'm up, dressed, made my bed, brought the laundry hamper down, and had a brew.
Stairs are still one step at a time but not too bad coming down. Walking is OK, OK, OK, oh oh oh. But heading in the right direction.
Foggy here - but looks like the sun is trying to burn through.
Another brew then I'll feed the birds and put out the rubbish and recycling.
Love to all

Morning Round, yep slept surprisingly well after two glasses of wine last night (normally alcohol makes me sleep badly), up and at em, pilates done, waiting for DH and DS2 to surface. Dont overdo that walking!!
Yesterday didnt go to plan because DS2s train sat outside Leeds for 20 minutes, so he missed his connection home and I had to drive to the big city to pick him up. Traffic was terrible and I sat outside the station with my indicator on for about 10 minutes not going anywhere - although I managed not to have a complete meltdown which was something.
I want to go to the coast today - DH says it will be ridiculously busy - I said everywhere will be ridiculously busy but I have my boy home and I want to take him out. Oh and I have to ring Mum and break the news that DS1 wont be there for her Easter lunch tomorrow because he has been asked to work, she will be very disappointed.
Flying will be minimal today and tomorrow, but I will do the basics at least.
Have a good Saturday all x
Welcome along number-23!

Morning!Fresh this morning so hot up and worked out. I’m doing the reset today so tomorrow is a quieter, chilled day.Put the bins out and sanitised them all, smells amazing in the kitchen 😍
Just working on the kitchen then onto the rest of the house, also need to fit in an hours dog walk as pooch is currently led staring at me 🐕 👀. I have my music on and I am having little breaks every so often to check emails (trying to be mindful and limit social media, so far so good).Have a great day 😀8 -

So, I continued with the kitchen, two loads of washing, an hours dog walk, cleaned the car out, hoovered and mopped the whole downstairs and now going to go for a bath.Tomorrow morning I will work out and complete the upstairs reset. I started this morning by saying I will do it all but I am getting better and being more mindful about how much I can do in a day. It’s better to split over two than push myself too hard today and over do it. I’ll still achieve the same outcome = ready for the FL challenge on Monday 😀6

More allotment digging. Ouch.
No flying, so that now I can see what needs doing, but am resolutely turning a blind eye. Well, obviously not really, as I can still see it taunting me. So I predict a meltdown in the next couple of days!
Hope you made it to the coast, YL. The traffic coming through our village over the past couple of days has been insane. People going off somewhere, and generally at a speed far higher than 30mph.
Off out this evening to see friends for dinner. I might just fall asleep at the table!5
