    I got most of mine in the post this morning, only 2nd class but I'm not paying for first class!

    Plumber is still going, actually he's not a plumber which i think is part of the problem, just a handyman guy. Am not convinced it's been that well done but it's not our place so not too worried. bathroom and hallway are now in a complete mess - dust and bits everywhere! I'll have to wash all the floors later.

    Livingroom now half done and is looking kindda better, now for all the clutter to be sorted.

    I posted all my cards yesterday, bought all stamps then realised i was 2 short eventho i counted the cards twice. Went to shop this morning and when i came in hubby picked a stamp of my coat.:rotfl: Wonder where the other one will turn up.

    Right better get on or i'll never finish today.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    soappie sorry just caught up with your message, packaging not important really, it's the toy they want to play with (for a change) do whatever is needed please, Monday or Tuesday is fine for drop off, will be in Wednesday before midday too. You are a star!

    (thanks Mudbath for pointing that one out)

    pigpen, don't think my nearest asda has a PO :( might print my own postage this time and chuck them in the box.

    Just double checking through cards no, only found one mistake so far so they've done well :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
