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!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j
