    Reporting for duty VERY late!

    :wave: hi to everyone, I am skiming the end of last weeks thread but will not even attempt the first 11 pages of this one or I will still be sat here tomorrow!

    Fetched Mum and Dad from Manchester airport yesterday morning, they have had great time and got loads of pics to show us. The scallywags were pleased to see the, and despite Mum saying they had not bought much we were all given presents. Part of W's was a tea towel with loads of trains on! He opened it up spent ages looking at it and then ran round ti give huge hugs to Mum and Dad ' I really like this' he said :D

    Will not ramble on too much more just now suffice to say not a lot of flying has taken place around here recently.

    Decluttering some money for QUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tickets today :D They are coming to Sheffield in December again, Miss A will be pleased.

    Ditto!! Dont put bleach in - put a bowl of water with a slice of lemon, or some lemon juice in the water and switch it on for a couple of minutes......the steam loosens all the gunk on the microwave and makes it very easy to wipe off xx

    Well done to the newbies having a go!! xx

    Thanks Greenbee and Jo, I will give it a go! It normally takes me ages to get all the gunk off so hopefully this will make it easier.
    Love the idea of a wedding scrapbook Ladybird, I was just thinking that maybe I could put all our wedding cards in a scrapbook. At the mo they are in a big messy pile in the cupboard.

    Got to go through all the direct debits now as I tried to change bank accounts and A&L messed all of them up so went back to Natwest. Some of the companies seem incapable of changing the DD's back to Natwest so a few keep being missed every month even though I keep phoning them up to sort it out. This has been going on since October!!!:mad::mad::mad:
