    I am glad that I am not the only one. I know that sometimes my computer will skip a page of unread :rolleyes:

    Thought I was getting very forgetful in my old age (30)! It must do the same on mine!

    Am by passing the childrens tasks as DS not at home today or yesterday. I can pretty much assure you he would refuse to help anyway. I cant get him to help out round the house at all. In fact it usually causes a huge row if i ask him to do anything and i just stress myself out because i know he wont do any household jobs. I feel like it is a battle i cant win. Before christmas he refused point blank to dry a few dishes and i lost the plot with him :mad:. I am afraid he will be one of those useless men who expect their wives to do everything and i hate the thought. He is nearly 15 so if anyone has any ideas i would be willing to try it out :o I dont tidy his room or put his ironing away, he does that himself so he's not all bad but he wont dry a dish or take the rubbish out etc. Am i expecting too much????????? :confused:

    Sorry to rant on a bit

    For those who didn't realise Johanne and I are sister don't worry about it :rotfl:

    Box file of paperwork has been sorted again and is now down to an "action" file (now in my letter rack on the desk) and what I can file has been filed.

    Now to dish up dinner :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.

    Evening ladies.

    :cool: ORF ops can now stand down for the evening - thank you for your vigilance :cool:
    Dusty – thanks for your continued observations – hope it amused the kids for a short while
    JulieJim – thank you for explaining ORF so well to Sharon
    Mudbath – USA – how exciting! When - where - why etc. etc. !
    Vanilla the story about that poor chap is just so sad. Hugs
    Hex - love your landing - even before you decluttered it! Well done you.

    Right, I've had enough 'me' time reading through the tread. I need to go and do some flying. I've decided to create a cheap meal this evening for the cheapest meal thread which will take a little time to do. It's all in my head at the moment! But, I'll start on it after I've done the flying list. I then need to prep for the community meeting tomorrow - but that shouldn't take too long.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
