    Thanks for the advice Pigpen; I'm starting to think a hall would of been a good idea, but surely they won't make that much mess!!! :rolleyes: As we are having a very pink "Fairy Party", I thought a few bottles of pink champagne might go down quite well with all us mummys! I have been searching today for pink lemonade; I know I have had it before but just can't find any! Going to quickly do an extra flying list for tomorrow x

    And if there's not a bar, get an empty bottle of squash and fill it with vodka and orange juice and make sure only the adults drink it!

    Evening everyone

    Dusty - yes you can freeze leeks oops - seen you've already had replies! And hugs about your Nan's property. It'll be hard work.
    Wendywitch - hugs for your Mum, let's hope the flylady lists help a bit
    Embb - top news about the rewiring, replumbing etc. it'll be hell whilst it's happening but heaven when it's done and top news about your DD's job
    Mumof4 - big hugs love.

    Toots! :T - Welcome back! (and a bit woof and doggy lick from stitched up Beffy-Boo)

    Had a busy day. Am over the sickness thing thank goodness. Went to a meeting tonight and remember that proposal I spent the other weekend doing trying to get some money to do some community stuff? Well we got it :D I am so pleased!

    Won't really get to fly tonight as I'm not long in. It'll be dinner and bed I think . We're busy busy at work this week and I have John's funeral to go to tomorrow afternoon. That'll be a mad dash about.

    I was originally told the funeral was at 3pm so I arranged with the garage to get my headlight (that I discovered was broken last week) fitted afterwards. Then I found the funeral is actually 3.30pm. So, as long as the headlight is in, I shall leave work at 2pm and go straight to the garage and drop the car off about 3.00pm. Nice neighbour will meet me there and drive me over to the crem for 3.30pm. Bless her - she offered out of the blue when we were talking about it last Friday. Once the funeral is finished, she'll drive me back to the garage so I can pick my car up again.

    But now, I'm off to find some dinner and sort something out to wear tomorrow.
