    Soappie - glad you had a safe journey, I'll send you a mail later rather than clog up the thread with drivel[/quote]

    I'm the same Rach but I need to do Next/Boots/Sainsbury as well.

    There are lots of one day sales - debenhams and coupons for 30% monsoon etc. Trouble will be the weather - if it is poor then I'm just going local (I can walk it is only 1 mile) if it is not too icy I'll drive to the bigger one and if all else fails I'll sit here with a cuppa chocolate and shop online.

    Bathroom is calling, going to put DS3 in the bath and clean the room.

    Kitten has punctured my ball so having to sit on a chair - very odd!

    Evening everyone. Have done no flying today, been at courses all day. Then food shopping after the school run.

    So.... I just spent an hour and a half clearing, tidying and decluttering our bedroom. And its all nice and sparkly now!!!! WOOHOOO. I am actually looking forward to going up there tonight. Will change the bedding and wash the windows tomorrow. WOOOHOOO, I actually have another room, other than the living room, thats clean and tidy.

    Off to get kids sorted for bed, then get some food made for mine and DP tea.

    Kids are getting ready for bed now so I won't be doing any more to DD's bedroom tonight. Don't know whether to move into my bedroom and have a quick sort out in there, sit down and write Christmas cards or just chill! Mind you, I'm not going to have much chance to do anything tomorrow night as I have my staff meeting after work so I'll probably leave about 5.15 and DD has to be at the Victoria Hall between 6.10 and 6.20!

    Okay I'm getting tired, mind you I have been awake since 3 - don't ask:rolleyes: - so I think I'll retire to my bedroom, maybe do a bit of sorting out, and then get some sleep and if I wake up before at least 5 tomorrow I shall be dead cross!

    Night all
