    Am crying and have a terrible stress headache again so not doing any more flying for now.
    Well done to all those who are flying, keep up the hard work.

    See you all later. Sorry for being pathetic. Just can't cope with anything right now

    Honey's I'm home :)

    Just trying to convince DP to stay near 'ull' over Easter, spotted a site which is VERY cheap compared to what we were looking at up here, £128......for the 10 nights rather than £300 for the one up here. Bit further but save on the fees. Means he can go see his family and I might eventually manage to get to see Piggers et all in 'ull'! I'd be staying 10 nights so leaves plenty of scope. I'd be staying the weekend on my own Thursday-Monday but sites a bit more commercial so has pool/play ground/shop as I'll also be left without a car while he comes back for work. I just booked the very expensive but lovely looking Holgates for one of our August breaks :D:D:D:D YAY!!! It's a date DP was racing round here but we've negotiated and there is a memorial event near there that weekend :D so he's going there instead.

    Anyway, DS1s review went very well. His EdPsych who I disliked before as she was always a pain in the bum was extremely nice, useful and actually stuck up for him. I do wonder if it's because I have met her on occasions since when working with her boss, their boss and their boss above them? Hehe! Anyway he's staying in that school at least for next year.

    This afternoon I need to (before DS2 finishes school)

    Fill DW
    Do some studying
    Pay some bills
    Empty WM and refill/restart
    Wipe kitchen over
    Put clean/dry laundry upstairs
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Totally distracted by Amazon.... and DD2's main present having not dispatched! :mad: so sorted that in my HHC... so more of a HHPC (phone call) than a clean....

    Sorry PenPen

    Anyone wanna do 12.40-1.10?????

    ETA:
    Sorry you're feeling rubbish Rose, it's not pathetic. Have a lie down, and try to relax. (easier said than done, I know) But the cleaning isn't going anywhere, hope you feel better soon. (((hugs)))

    Mornin all
    Have spent most of this week sorting out stuff, so I can start 'proper' next week. Where does all the junk come from :mad:. Does anyone have any suggestions for photos? have 3 boxes full, if I put them in albums they would take up even more room.

    Cull them! I have just gone through mine - pre digital, and I had umpteen shots of the same thing, ones out of focus, fingers and thumbs, etc. I also got rid of all the unflattering ones of me (so that got rid of alot!:eek: ).

    I have also made little bundles of cards to give to family & friends of moments we shared - decluttering and free gifts into the bargain!:D

    It's very therapeutic!
