Valli - that's lovely of you but the Peaks are a minimum of 5 hours drive away. I'd be knackered when I got there, recover, then be knackered from the driving when I got back again. Not that I don't love the Peaks - I'd love to live there...

Should have added self contained, self catering.

Oh, I must be the only one who lets the pooches go in the garden on their own. They seem to know the routine now, if DPs at work on an evening it's garden only after the boys go to bed. To be honest Megan struggles with too many walks a day now so she's more than happy doing that, god help us if I ever have to stop her morning walk however as she goes crackers every morning for that one.

Well a lazy ish evening with no studying, bliss! I've filled the DW (empty that in the morning) made packed lunches and bathed the boys, they didn't get to bed until about 9pm tonight but it was nice spending time with them without being stressed. DPs chilled out a bit and seems to have an action plan on what to do and when in the house to get it back in order, think I'll see how it goes on his way. He's emptied the old sideboard this evening and cleaned where it was for the new one to go in, so that's a start. More helpful than he usually is!

I need to pop over to collect some storage boxes in the morning offered on freecycle saves me buying more, pet food needs collecting from the same area was my thinking to save on fuel aswell. Then I think action plan is pop through to Newcastle, Costco while we're there then back to do the conservatory (he's got his priorities right there because he wants more space for him)

Dusty hope your DSs wound heals ok, never listen do they, saying that I still can't get a plaster or anything that sticks to him near my DS1 :rotfl: he also isnt keen on spray plaster after I stuck his toes together

soappie, just a thought, would you find going on the train less exhausting? Then you could go somewhere further without the worry of driving. http://www.countrycottagesonline.com/Pet-friendly_Country_Cottages.htm this site has some nice pet friendly ones.

Well seeing as no one seems to know how much/many soda crystals I need to use, I'll have to guess.:p

And if I end up with soapy bubbles everywhere. I'm gonna blame you lot:p:p:p:p:p:p

TAG, I put a whole bag into my washing machine when I clean it out (the repair guy told me to do it every 6 months on hot wash) and no bubbles everywhere, so you will be fine...
