    Ok, I'm gonna try this week as went 'off road' for the last couple of weeks.

    Hope everyone is ok, havent caught up much with the thread but hope Charlie is on the mend, and hugs to anyone who needs one.

    Have had a good weekend, pretty chilled out but not done much.

    Crashed out earlyish friday night as was up at 4, OH has been off work sick with what we think was food poisoning. Yesterday went to P'boro for girly day with DD. Spent way too long, and way too much money in Lush but some was birthday money so that accounted for the Think PInk Hatbox! Also saw a fab pair of cowboy boots that were reduced from £95 to £50, DD had to drag me out as I spent £85 on a pair of boots last month and thought OH would go nuts, but of course having got home he said 'you should have got them' :mad: typical heh. Have today spent all day loading WM and TD plus mucked out 3 kitchen cupboards and binned loads of old tins and stuff so Pigpen will be proud of me :T .

    I'm at work all week, apart from tomorrow which is Nannys funeral, (so prob a good day to have master bedroom as I usually skip that one - following our leaders example of course :D ). Really hope to manage something for the rest of the week tho.

    Hope you all have a good week and achieve what you want to.

    Kaz

    PS Welcome and good luck to all the new peeps

    Michelle - sorry about poor little charlie, sounds like that sam had. I did like Tai and tucked a towel over his bedding and just wipped it off asap. Being out of work for so long I didn't 'think' about you just not being able to leave, I forget about responsiblity of your job, might be me if I get this job - yikes!

    Have a huge list for tomorrow written in my book, I seem to be going away from the proper list more each week but its just a case doing whats needed. Had a cupboard tidying session earlier, need to do the rest tomorrow.

    Not sure how much I'll get done this week with DH working away I'm on my own with DS and no half hour here and there to crack on. He still hasn't packed though but refuse to nag him about it. Lost interest in Crufts now because they cut out the Bassets, my dogs breeder won though so am pleased for her.

    The nights very calm here, wondering if calm before storm. DH supposed to be flying out tomorrow but depends on winds now I think. He's just took dogs for a walk at 7pm and said it was very quiet out, bit like when we were in Mexico and a Cat 5 hurricane hit our resort - looking forward to tonight then! Hopefully won't be as bad as their predicting.

    See you tomorrow x

    (((AnW's mum)))

    (((kaz))) for tomorrow - well, for today as well if you need them!

    No flying today, but a couple of hours on the allotment this morning. I started to prepare the site for the hedge this afternoon, and was rained off, which was very irritating, as I wanted to get it done.

    Very busy week ahead, three days in schools, London on Tuesday, and gardening Thursday morning. I'll need a lot of motivation (and the odd kick) to keep flying as well.

    For those keen readers, Sophie Kinsella has a new one out, only in hardback at the moment, called Remember Me. Both DD and I loved it. Cheapest in Tesco or Asda.
