Happy birthday ASB and you can have an e version of today's flying which was doing church flowers for harvest festival. I hoovered church as well, so that counts.

Happy Birthday asb 🎂 xx
Friyayyyyyy woot woot. A full on day at the paid stuff survived. Had to drive home via a different route as there was a big crash on my usual route: road closed, air ambulance in attendance. Not a good start to someone's weekend 😕
In my scruffs and cabinned in. Lunch bag unpacked.

Beautiful flowers @Narc0lepsy !
Well done on another week survived @roundtuit
Rough eve here. Mr Flamingo at work, Junior Flamingo having a big meltdown over YT changing Ad block stuff. He uses YT to regulate himself, so this is very triggering for his ASC. I suspect it will be a new £12 a month expense. So much screaming, banging, and raging has ensued, my nerves feel frazzled. We are now having to watch Thomas the Tank at too loud volume, all the lights off downstairs. The dog is grumbling and keeping on because he's downstairs and she isn't used to him being here and assumes he will entertain her. I've lost all motivation to tackle the hall and JF managed to pull down the washing line and some of the stuff went on wet ground so has to be rewashed. I am whinging, and it's not good, so I am going to go pull myself together!Married 40y.o. mum of an autistic 11y.o. Carer/SAHM.

Happy birthday, ASB 😘. I’m hoping that you are in pjs, with your favourite glass of wine and watching something you enjoy on the tv xx
Well done, Round 👏. One week closer to the next booked holiday! xx
Beautiful flowers, as always, Narc0. I have the exact same michaelmas daisies in the back garden, grown from seed last year, looking lovely this year. Good things come to he who waits. Well, sometimes, anyway.
Hugs, Flamingo. Tomorrow is another day xx
Slogged it through work today. Practised my corporate speak, even though some powers that be forget that we are a teensy weensy company not a megalithic multinational corporation. Drowned my sorrows in a glass or 2 of red wine this evening, now following it up nicely with a humungous packet of ginger nuts that DH has not yet discovered. Ah well.Loaded the wm for the morning. Sum total of my flying. Will do better tomorrow. (Maybe).5 -

I have plodded on with work today (except for a couple of hours this afternoon, when I fell asleep on the sofa and then took Rosie out) and was doing quite well this evening until I needed a certain booklet for reference. I was sure I had put it on a particular shelf, but could I find it? I hunted for about half an hour. My desk is almost clear, the thing wasn't in my in-tray, I couldn't see it on the shelf, the spare bed only has ancestors lying on it (I checked them all) and nothing has fallen down the back of the filing cabinet or been left on the scanner tray (I checked those too).
Eventually I went back and checked the shelves again, and it was exactly where I had remembered putting it. Doooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh!!!
Rosie tells me it's time for bed now - she obviously wants her treats! - so I'll do more before breakfast and hopefully finish before K and the girls arrive for our day out.
G'night all xxx
