Posting first and catching up after

Afternoon all.

Two loads of washing out on the line, it's sunny but cold but at least it will freshen it up and it's out of my way for a few hours.

Kitchen S&Sd and sink bleached etc. Dusted living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

Took dog out, that took ages because she was very slow today and the cat came too.

DH is painting, very slowly. I'm trying not to fidget.

Back to catching up.

Crafty, where bouts in Scotland are you? A few years ago DS2 was in a STARband and we were driving from Ayr to Leeds about once a month. It took us a full day (regular stops for DS2) but if yoru on your own it's not too bad.

No idea where the airport is but if your driving get a map cos the road signs are weird, we kept getting lost and that's my excuse!

Tia - mine sometimes have bagels/toast with nothing on too, DS2 always eats plain bread with nothing on it.
Greenbee I opened my latest account online, loads easier! I've ended up keeping both open as I am finding it useful
OJK awwww your kids sound so lovely
Craftscholar probably looking 10-12 miles I think from Leeds centre to the airport

Had bog all motivation this morning, think I will make a brunch, parcel DP off to work then try to get more done once I have eaten something. Oh I weighed myself this morning, nothing lost but nothing gained which is ok as I've had 3 lunch meetings (so I know I've been good!) and usually put on weight second week I try to loose some.

Today is catch up day, so far only done washer loads, DW and flinged some stuff but do plan to do downstairs if possible. Will make food then start the kitchen!

Greenbee depending on how large the branch of the bank is I would call ahead and book an appointment to open a new account, then you are not kept waiting. They will prob want to see Passport and Drivers licence or council tax bill. With a lot of the big banks you can open current accounts online these days and they post the paperwork to you. Would save a trip to twon just for that

Thanks... that's a good idea. I have decided to wait until March though (and hope I get a bonus!), as I want to make sure I have enough money in each bank to avoid any issues with the DD transfers, as that's what's been bothering me about the whole process.

crafty - lil_me is correct, the airport is between leeds and bradford, a place called Yeadon. I think there are buses into leeds regularly but worth checking.

Hi all
Been MIA for a day or two, got an examo n the 29th and have to do lots of work for it. Congrats to Pigpen and family, Tabitha looks beautiful!
Lil_me (i think) try asking the people who run your course if there is anyone who did it last year who they could ask for 2nd hand copies of the book?

I'm taking inspiration from Toots and i'm going to make a long list of things to do. Have i mentioned that I might be moving flat? Need to make sure the one we're in at the moment is clean and decluttered before we move! And need to sort out all my uni files at some point too.. ugh. So far today i've taken a bag of clothes to Oxfam, tidied the living room, and decluttered myself to the library to study.

Hugs to those who need them
