:hello:
Hugs to all that need them.
Well I managed to deposit DH at the airport and managed to get back home without getting lost. So peace and quiet and less cleaning and washing for the next fortnight.
Tried to do some ironing this evening but the iron decided to blow up so no ironing for me until I get a new one :j
Plan for tomorrow is to take DS to his pre admission clinic at the John Radcliffe. Taking DD as well so I don't have to worry about being getting her to and from school. They aren't doing anything this week anyway. Hopefully we won't be back too late and I can get a bit of housework done.

Just read Weller's letter from her DH which has left me in floods of tears. I just thought they are both so brave, him for writing the letter to Weller and ones to their children and Weller for sharing something so personal. I am so pleased that he did write them as in years to come they will all be able to see for themselves exactly how much he loved them all.

DS2 is like that! :rotfl:

SSL, we went to Ribby Hall near Blackpool for a week then had some day trips and visiting friends, friends visiting us last week. Been a very nice 2 weeks. Unfortunatly I have had an ear canal infection for 3 weeks so been mostly doped up on strong painkillers yeehah! Had ear drops while on holiday (utter crap) and now finally I have oral antibiotics and an ear spray and a nose spray (as hayfever have gunked my ears up anyway).

Right just made a bracelette but want to change the clasp on it now... so.. going to S&S kitchen first!
