Morning all

Sorry to see Gemish and Soappie are having a hard time at the moment so hugs for you both.

Well I am at work today, billy no mates totally today. Usually someone else in the office till 1pm. Bit narked about it in that the "full time" girl that does 1 weekend in 4 would kick up a real stick about being alone - infact there are 3 of them in on the Sat morning she works and if 1 of the other girls is on hol she still moans. And she has arranged a viewing for me to do alone with 2 blokes in an empty house tomorrow. There is no way on this earth she would do it. Rant over.

DD1 showered and hair done for her party this afternoon before work this morning. Brisket prepped and in slow cooker as have in-laws over for day. Will make fresh scones and prep veggies when I get home at 4. Other than that not a lot done on the flying side, DH under instructions to keep on top of kiddie mess.

I am currently trying to print a Jodie face off (from I'd Do Anything) as thats who the girls want to win and they have made a banner and want her face on it. Guess what we will be watching tonight:rotfl: .

Having more wobbles about my driving test next week. I must get these negative thoughts out of my head 'cos I am driving myself crazy:o . On a good note the lawn mower on ebay is up to £51 with 17 watchers:money: , plus listed the dog crate we no longer need this morning so more space freed up in the garage:D .

It is much too nice and sunny out there to be sat here doing nothing - I have a back garden that needs weeding and mowing and making pretty.

Well its a gloriuos morning here today.

Thanks to everyone for their comments yesterday, I was too tired to respond to everyone last night but my thanks button was working so cheers to you all :beer: . and apologies for not addressing you all personally regarding your good/bad days. Hugs must go to soappie and gemish tho :grouphug:.

I did little flying this week but have a great time with DD and niece which is what time off work is supposed to be about and they had a fab time at pleasurewood hills yesterday and I only got lost once on the way home!

So today I have got first line of washing out, have walked doogie to the post office to post OH's tesco deals for eurotunnel so he is definitely going away in 2 weeks for 8/9 days, so I dont have a clue how I am going to manage getting DD to school when I have to be at work from 8-4 each day.

Basic S&Sing and tidying to do today. DS2 off to my parents for a sleepover at 4pm, DS1 and I are going out for food and then doing something... was hoping to go to the cinema but there is nothing on for a 6yr old!

Must get DS2's sofa foam bits from the hut, I finally managed to get the cover off and get it washed! He is sleeping on that tonight at his Nana and Papa's.

DS2 has new trick, running himself a bath.... However tight I make the taps he somehow manages to start it running! :eek: Tried telling him that he does not need 3 baths a day....

Back garden is a pig sty but DH off tomorrow so he can do it.

I haven't managed much flying this week. I stopped taking the codeine and that was when my enthusiasm left me too. DD and I have had two fab days out and one evening out together. When we got home none of the 'boys' had eaten anything!! That will save on my grocery budget.:rotfl: :rotfl: Dishwasher didn't need to go on either! I must go out more.:rotfl:
