    He's out tonight and I CBA to do anything. It probably doesn't help that I do get anxious about travelling, particularly as he freely admits that he can get lost going from the bedroom to the bathroom at night - and he's not exactly popping round the corner - so I'm trying to put the idea of at least 11 hours of not knowing he's OK out of my mind, more and more, the closer his departure gets. Unsuccessfully. Ugh.

    You can usually track flights on the air line websites if that will help at all? At least you will be aware of delays etc.

    Bedtime for the gremlins.. I am shattered.. and a busy day tomorrow too.

    having washed up before work and left the house straight I have come home, having been out for 12 hours, to a sink full of pots, a hob full of pots, a badly-stacked dishwasher - also full of dirty pots so

    I AM ON STRIKE

    DDs home from Uni; DS is on reduced hours and has been in all day. Not good enough is it?

    I am NOT happy.

    Hi all

    Thanks atb - just need everyone to keep reminding me that this is what I want as I am sure I will have doubts along the way xxx

    Busy day, still juggling both jobs for the time being and what with various things going on I am behind. Been out for tea which is nice. DS1 has got his stuff all over the house - I am with you Valli just too darned tired to sort it.

    Out with my ladies cycling group in the morning then cracking on with some housework. A load of washing in, might do another as it is supposed to be slightly sunny tomorrow.

    Valli.. I feel your pain.. mine need strategically placed rockets sometimes. They are so lazy and think they can get away with it. I hope they are adequately repentent when they dare speak to you again xx

    I know (but thank you). I can imagine myself tracking the damn thing for the entire time. And completely freaking out if it disappears for a moment, as things tend to do when crossing into US airspace and upon their final approach - what can I say except I'm a geek who finds the flight and shipping trackers fascinating?
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Thanks for all your good wishes. A good time was had by all , got home from musical all - including my 86yr old mum - singing "is this the way to Amarillo" . Just polished off cheese, biscuits and cake so minimal slinking going on. Racking brains to think of anything resembling flying. Um, nope.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    I can see the word “polished”....looks like flying to me:rotfl:

    Forgot to switch alarm off. Doh:mad:

    Morning all

    Just DS and I up so far. I need to go chazza diving today, I have hardly any clothes that fit anymore and no coat that fits at all :eek: really hope I can find something in my size, can’t afford new ATM.

    DW unloaded, and I will shortly go and wash my face and put my war paint on. Feel like I need it today.

    Will be back later have lovely days and I hope you all see some sun xx
    MFW :)
