    Soappie fab idea but would have enjoyed guessing peoples ages - bit depressing tthat so many are in younger age groups. it would be great to have some flyers in the last age group.

    Good evening :) hope you are all ok

    SavvyMummy
    Happy Birthday to your DS
    mummy2 bless you, I am sure little one will appear when ready!
    Mudbath awww poor DD, but pleased to hear DS is better. Sounds like you have every right to be proud!
    Quillion hope you have a nice night and manage to enjoy yourself, ((hugs))
    embb lovely to hear teenie went with you, I know a few with teens that age who would love their son/daughter to act like they are part of the family sometimes
    toots pleased to hear today went well
    Soappie pleased to hear little BB is healing well
    Flower, I am yet to manage more than 3 phone calls, add DPs contact details and check a couple of emails with the thing because it's confuzzling! So yes I may take you up on that offer, thank you :)

    Had 'The Hottest Place on Earth' on which was interesting me even more because it's what I am studying at present (volcanoes/earthquakes/techtonics etc) Had a lovely morning meeting a friend for coffee then shopping then a really stressful final meeting before the conference. Hopefully it's all done now, I need to type up speaking stuff, agendas etc etc then it's done.

    Flying has been pretty much a flop all week, the downstairs isn't too bad however it's mainly upstairs that looks a bomb site, oh and where DPs been sat while I have been out. Tomorrow need to go to Newcastle then to pick the fixed caravan up, then I can get my car emptied :rotfl:

    Mudbath good to hear DS is a bit better but poor DD - and well done to both your DD & DS for their good reports.
    83rachel well done - your first list and a Star!!!:T Where are you moving to? the lists will help you get organised but you could also try to do as much decluttering as you can when you are tidying up. there is no point packing more stuff than you have to!!
    soappie thats what I meant just couldnt remember the word -blond moment:rotfl: :rotfl: give BB a big squishy cuddle from me xx
    Dusty huge hugs honey - you have so much on your plate just now I am not surprised you cant keep up - take it steady - do the necessary things for now which IMHO would be dealing with Nan's stuff because of the deadline. I ma pleased DS is willing to help but what about the rest of the family ? I mean Mum sister etc? Its good too to hear your boys have had good reports - well done to them.
    froddy are you feeling better tonight?
    more hugs grateful keep the chin up xx

    DW emptied!!

    toots xx

    Hope this works, back from town, have been ferrying offspring and bicycles round the city, avoiding accidents (why do some people think the rules of the road do not apply in supermarket car parks!!)

    Smashing to see everyone so nutty tonight - just what we all needed.

    plus i did a TON of ironing today, i got out all my duvet covers and sheets and ironed them and put them away neatly. i;ve never ironed a duvet cover in my life, but i had a revalation.. i thought how nice it is to get into a bed with ironed sheets, a real treat.. then i thought.. why arent i entitled to sleep every night in ironed sheets??!! so in realising i was worth the effort i did it!
