  • Thanks for the new thread lil-me, Im going to lurk and lightly fly this week.

    Rach - enjoy your last single week, try not to overdo it!!!

    Serena - thanks for missing me!! Id love to meet up - need to get the next week over and done with tho!!

    Well I need to go to bed now - got to get up at silly o'clock to go to London tomorrow - Yep its D Day, or rather egg collection day. Nil by mouth from midnight, got to get up to Harley Street for 10.15. Doesnt take long but they knock you out so that you dont feell all the discomfort! Hopefully both follicles contain eggs and will fertilise. The bad news tho is that the consultant thinks one of my ovarys is knackered, and I only have 1/2 the other one, so we are not doing very well!!!!!!!!!!.

    Night night all, good luck with the flying tomorrow - Lilo

    I'm in and my challenge this week is to finish the dreaded tax return. Made a good start today so hopefully the momentum will carry on so I can get it sorted.

    I got a head start this week, felt pretty lively today, got a lot done. Loads of washing and a good clean of the living room which was minging.

    Just sat and sorted out a budget and savings plan and in a wonderful mood because we are so much better off with all the debt gone, I keep going on about it, bit's bloody brilliant! :j

    And I did a HHE too! I took the dog a walk, let him have a run (he is still recovering from his op so he only had a wee run) then we jogged through the woods. Does that count as a HHE?

    Now, I'm off to clean the bathroom and have a nice long soak in a sparky bath.

    Night all!

    Big, huge massive good luck to Lilo!!! Sending hugs, vibes, wishes and prayers for you chicken. :j :A :j

    Inspired by AnWsmum (thankyou very much), I finally stopped making excuses and completed my tax return. My god, I hate it! Even when I think I've done it right, I still think I've done it wrong. I haven't earned enough money to be worthy of the tax man's notice for over five years, but still I worry that he'll come and zap me for cash we don't have and whisk me off to the nearest prison! I only earned £3289 last year, but worry that I got the form wrong etc etc...:o

    Big time flying mission this week. The lady we may be swapping houses with is coming to visit on saturday and I want the place shining and looking its best. We'll be using the usual lists, dailies and daily renovation tasks too (some painting, re-grouting, re-sealing etc). I'm almost certain that the other lady isn't anywhere near as worried as I am, but it doesn't hurt to make something look it's best in order to "sell" it. ;)

    Speaking of selling, my trumpet's at £127 on ebay with a massive 20 watchers :eek: . The nature's nest got it's BIN of £100 too, so it looks as though I don't have to worry too much about those bills that crept up on us while DH was off work.

    I have so much to say tonight, but it's all drivel, so I won't bore you. :rotfl:

    Glad to see so many of you well, happy and flying. Welcome to the newbs, you'll love it, it's addictive. HHCs are soooooooooo the way forward. Good luck and happy flying.

    Ok, will be off to bed v. soon as youngest is due up in oh, maybe 15 minutes or so...she's just lucky she's so fab or I'd be really peed off with the night wakings. x
