Welcome back SGT. :wave:
Jojo, the only way I could reset my body clock to accepting going to bed and getting a good night's sleep at a reasonable hour was to reset it gradually. I was used to turning the light out at anywhere between 1.00 and 2.00 am every night, but by doing three to five nights of strictly 1.00 am at the lastest, then 12.30 am, then midnight, then 11.30 pm, then 11.00 I discovered my personal sleep pattern was that it needed to be 11.30 pm. If I do that I wake up before the alarm and I feel pretty good most of the day. (Late nights at weekends aren't helpful.) I also seem to need a lot more sleep in the winter which I can only assume is to do with getting enough daylight. I recently slipped back into bad old habits and the result was absolutely disastrous. It's been a long time since I've felt that ill and dispressed, and spent every evening out with friends yawning. Not good.
Good luck with the house-hunting FBO.
Everything tidied away and ready for the day. How come having spent hours yesterday cleaning there are dust bunnies (basically Kelpie's hair) everywhere I look? I know it wasn't spotless, but Come ON. Oven pans from last night are still unwashed on the sundeck so I'll deal with them when I do the lunchtime washing up.
Froggie minutes almost completed, then I'm hoping the dog trainer with the secure field will allow Kelpie and I to go and practice a bit of his recall and target training. That'll completely knacker him for a couple of days.Better is good enough.0 -

Hello Fly Ladies :wave:
I've just been lurking for the past few weeks and doing some halfhearted flying. Hoping to get back into it this week.0 -
I'm back in this week and boy does the house need it. Been to paid stuff this morning so now to start. Laundry (wash, dry, iron and put away, I will not allow an ironing mountain to develop) and vacuuming floors.
Also need to shop
That will probably be enough as today is the first day for 3 weeks I have felt human, still coughing loads but not exhausted when I get up so hopefully and over this virus.
Off to get a load in WM so see you later0 -
Greetings fellow Flyers; and welcome to newbies/returners.:wave:
I'm sort of in - just doing as much as I can manage, when I can manage it this week, as The Nasty Cold Bug is trying to get me.Honey Bear I feel your anger, and sympathise. I hate having wet washing draped about. Find out about your nearest laundrette; opening times, what coins to take, cost of service wash or self service, and print out directions to get there;).
If that doesn't work, I'd be inclined to remove the fuse from the plug when I wasn't actually using the WM myself.
[STRIKE]Idiot DH[/STRIKE] Mr LW nodded off in front of the pc three times this morning, despite having snored his head off (and thus kept me awake) most of the night. :mad: So he got told in no uncertain terms to shut it down and find something useful to do. Such as put the Dys0n round to save me doing it later
He's currently sitting eating cheese on toast at me (I'm skipping lunch; slinkiness still eludes me and I'm desperate now).:(
Tomorrow will be a better day; I have a little Yorkie coming in for a simple overnight stay while his owners have the double-glazing men in. He'll be arriving early though; the husband is bringing him over on his way to work; they said about 08:00 so I shall be ready by 07:30, in case they're a bit earlier than 08:00If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Welcome newbies and returners
Beautiful sunshine here but, oh my, it's cold. Didn't put the heating on during the day at all in Jan but have given in today.
Somehow I've managed to complete Level 2 today - am going to leave the window as I'm sure Valli will put windows on other lists and I'd rather do them altogether. Will run the vacuum around later.

LW.. it is very naughty to starve yourself.. as a starvation expert.. it really doesn't work. At least eat something like vegetables or fruit which doesn't have the fat/sugar/carb content of actual food and will fill your poor rumbly tum and keep your blood sugars regulated.. I do not want to hear of you being hospitalised with a hypoglycaemic attack because you have collapsed from hunger!! Cheese isn't much good for slinkiness .. can you rustle up an omelette with mushrooms or grated root veg or tomato? That is filling and will keep you going and will be better than hunger!
I've lost 8lb eating twice as much as I usually do.. toast or omelette for lunch with fruit and rice/veg and vegetarian somethings for dinner.. all with a mountain of fruit and veg.. and swpping 2 of the 3 sugars in my tea for sweetener.. though I am suspecting this has made the most difference!.. I'm starting to look a bit like a root veg.. I have a pack of beetroot to devour tonight!
