    • Popped to ALDI at lunchtime, picked up some stuff and then actually put it back when I convinced myself that we didn't really need it - a first for me:T

    Thanks sophiesmum, i have lots of great ideas now, thanks to everyone on here. Off to do some boring household jobs before chilling with a cup of tea and then off to do my helpline work. I'll then go round to my friend's house for the start of our trip away.

    See you all when i get back!
