    I just uploaded another 20 things to ebay.. I WILL have rid of some more junk!! I added a few bits to my box earlier and if they don't sell they will go in the next charity bag. 35 things listed now.. :D including several new things that were outgrown while packed for the house move.. 3.5 years ago!! and DD5's favourite irresistable furry coats.. I am so mean!

    Froddy.. school isn't open tomorrow!! The boiler is obsolete so they are having problems trying to repair it as they cannot get the parts. The school were meant to be getting a new boiler 4 years ago but for some stupid reason it never got done.. it was onthe original tender then when they got the price in it was missed off somehow then the council said they never said they would replace then the school found the letters saying they would replace it and then this happens!! .. another day of whinging from DD3.. she is a miserable little barstool! DS3 is over the moon.. he hates school

    Hugs Hawthorn. It's horrible when you have to have a pet put to sleep, but it sounds like the best thing for him. He'll always be there in your heart. I've got lots of pets in my heart still.

    Happy birthday Greenbee.
