    Oooooops I didn't do my HHC as as I left to do some tidying in the bathroom I noticed the chlorine shampoo......then remembered I was supposed to be at hydrotherapy for 1pm, Benny Hill music style running round finding costume etc argh. I got there just on time!!!

    Mudbath we do a mix up of both, we like nowhere places (you might be suited to the 'CL's from the caravan club actually......) and places with something to do on site (was pleased we did go to full facilities sometimes last year as the weather was terrible) but I also like a bit of a treat too :) The boys love their swimming. That site however is more for me, my treat, I spotted it earlier this year and 'wow' was the only word I could say. I'll have the boys all day on the Sunday you see so DP will have to give me one day off to compensate at least :D
    LL hope everything goes ok tomorrow!
    Dusty I was just reading an article about that, how spooky, mines relatively new as I've been driving only a few years. £17.50 is a disgusting charge for a card. Answered the 'moving house' question.
    soappie pleased to hear the poor thing got down
    Pigpen :p if you don't want me to come to say hello just say......pah :( I'll just go in a strop! Regardless, we're booked up :D it's still a fair distance away I think, Withernsea? I think it's called the place it's near/in? Couldn't moan for the price and DPs family will be around so that's done, Easter hols sorted :D . My cards are getting some hammering today :o

    Just dropped DS2 at Cubs, hoping he continues to enjoy it, loads more little Beavers start tonight (they are letting them start early with Beavers closing I think) so he's happy about that :D Just DS1 with me until 7.30pm so going to spend some time with him, especially trying to decide what he wants to do about homework etc.

    Catch you all later xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Dusty - DD got the keys yesterday. Bits and pieces are slowly being decluttered from the front room when I'm out. I did speak to her briefly last night and she said she was exhausted but they are in. I'm trying very hard not to be an interfering mother - but it's difficult - I have to keep stopping myself dialling her number to see how she's getting on. She had yesterday and the rest of this week off work.

    Upstairs just knocked on the door with something for me to sign re the buildings insurance. My phoning round last week paid off - save about £280.00 so he's well pleased.

    Proposal is coming on. Almost there - I need to be - I'm starving!

    No it's not - but it's bad luck to take them down now twelfth night has passed. They need to stay up there now until NEXT christmas. I have two tiny pieces of tinsel on the standard lamp in the kitchen which have been there for the last six years because I keep forgetting to take them down...
