    Morning folks

    Soappie, I'm not going away, :wave:

    AnW'smum have a good time, I am sure the children will enjoy being with you and helping!

    Those going to the meet have a wonderful time.

    Once the site goes down, I'll be reporting in to yahoo when I get chance.

    Just been to check on my wriggly tadpoles but they have gone, either eaten by the fish, or deeper into the pond!

    Lots and lots to do this morning, and I want to fit a run in some time. I am using the couch to 5k podcasts which are really good and have got me back into it- lost another 2lb this week!

    Need to get the boys to school then back for a 9.14-9.45 HHC. It isn't that bad but I need to de-clutter 100 things, S&S the kitchen and loo, hoover and wash the carpets and give them a chance to dry before everyone is due at 3.30pm. Ben has left some visible marks of his approval that need to be removed! Need to fill in the holes in the lawn so the bouncy castle has somewhere level to go. Fingers crossed the fog and drizzle clear up soon.

    Morning everyone,

    Pigpen, it looks like we will all be decending on you soon - be afraid, be very afraid... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Greenbee - I know what you mean, but I haven't planned anything at all yet - just been writing down thoughts and ideas as I think of them so I don't forget, then carried on working.

    Ok, I completely forgot that my little sister is coming to visit this weekend and my house is thoroughly trashed. I'm going to have to ignore the list and fill my day with crisis cleaning. :rolleyes:

    HHCs all day long, starting at 9am. Oh goodness, please let the kids be quiet and let me get on with it.

    Didin't mention yesterday, DS1 (now six!!!) is home educated, so all of my flying has to fit around BOTH flybabies. :eek:

    Thanks for the warm welcome back, it's good to be here! :T

    Hugs to all of those who need them.
