    Who's got it - I've lost my get up and go - it was here this morning but now I can't find it.

    I've found this spurious and full carrier bag in the corner of the kitchen behind the dining table that says "Property of Dustykitten - GUAG" could this be what you're looking for? For a small fee that I promise to put towards paying off my mortgage I'll pop it in the post first class if you'll just let me have your address :)

    Hi everyone,

    it's taken me all evening to catch up - wow, it's all been happening!

    I haven't done any flying today, as working, and off to London to the RHS flower show tomorrow, so minimal flying then too! I promise I will get up to date one Thursday and Friday!

    Hugs to all who need one.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Well done Littlemeister - I think we can be VERY nice to you now rather than just nice. You and your Mum did well - give Mum a BIG hug.

  • Evening ladies.

    Lurkio - hello and welcome :hello:. I work full time and DH wouldn't know how to fly if you gave him wings!:rotfl:I've not been flying very long, but found I'm finally rediscovering my house and reclaiming my weekends. Some days I do most of the three levels, others I only do level 1, and others I only get my dailies done, depending how busy I've been and what the traffic's like! Everyone said to me to start off gently and take it slow, till you get the hang of it. It really does motivate you and it's actually fun! I wish I'd discovered it years ago! The best bit is "chipping in for advice and support". It's such fun, but I swear they're all mad except me. I don't think they've noticed yet!:shhh:

    Dustykitten - I think it's gone out for the day with mine!:rotfl:

    tango.. you come get a few thanks?? lol..

    Littlemeister.. well done girly... I think a big hug for you both before you go to bed would be lovely.. it is nice when our little people help out... I have to threaten to hoover up all my childrens possessions before they move.. I wish they'd help sometimes!!

    mummymeister.. well done to you too.. I think you deserve that hug and a hot cuppa and 10 minutes peace before bed!!!

    Back from my HHC.. my kitchen is unrecognisable now... just a bit to do tomorrow which I will delegate I think.. If the minimeister is helping my piglets can help too!!
