    Thanks Lil_me
    Congratulations on baby Mob
    Love the name 'addictedtolush'

    DH dragged me to doctors this morning under much protest. Turns out he was right and I have a chest infection - explains why I feel so tired! He's gone off to pay the car tax (heehee).

    I'm going to do very slow flying today just to get a few little bits done. Hugs to all the newbies - this is a great challenge to be part of as everyone is so supportive.

    If I don't get on again today HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx
    January budget
    Nothing left!

I'm all for it as something HAS to change. Any feedback would be brill, but not looking forward to 10 weeks having to find someone to mind her while I go!

    Afternoon all

    Welcome to newbies :)

    One load of washing done.

    Still snotty and I woke up this morning with a bad eye - swollen and bloodshot, feels like there is a log in there! Went to the pharmicist and he's given (sold) me some eye drops that I've got to use for 5 days. He said "oh dear" when he looked at me :( Hope it gets better soon, it's driving me mad not scratching it.

    Haven't done any flying yet, but when I've had a rest I'll do some in the kitchen. It's not that bad but I'll wipe the cupboards down etc. Must have looked bad this morning because DH put the duster and the vacuum round the living room! He never cleans.
  • Just eaten apple crumble and cream and now feel sick.
    Serves you right at 11am :p

    LJD1 - take it easy have a :coffee: and chill, you too Kaz

    Having to check th epayments sent through yesterday.. I haven't eaten a proper meal since .. Friday.. possibly.. but am off out with my mother in a bit for dinner.. then coming back to fly!!

    I got rid of everyone at 4am.. went up to bed and DD4 was laid on the landing having upchucked in her bed.. so I had all that to sort.. then I was beaten out of bed by the door at 8:15am.. next parcel which was the wrong items and has to go back so I've sorted that.. then one of the guys who came back last night knocked the door down at 10am as he had left his phone here.. and having listened all night for Jb being sick and chasing the cat off DD3's head I have barely slept.. tonight I am going to make sure DS1 stays over at my sisters and I am going to bed at 10pm!!!!!!!!

    Off to get ready for lunch.. see you all sooooon for flying lessons!!!!!!!!
