    Managed to brave Meadowhall,boys in tow,wasnt too bad ,dropped DS2 at Games Workshop for 2 hours,took LO to play area £2.50 for an hour:eek::eek: he was supposed to stay in the under 3 area ,,no chance he is a big boy apparently:rolleyes: straight to the top of the play equipment and it was soooo high:eek:

    Everyone seems to be flying well today.

    How is the walking coming on Rosepink? well done you on the washing up.

    Hugs to all who want or need them.
    Well done for going to the town, sounds like you all had a good time.

    The walking has been on hold this week! Haven't done any, but plan to do at least two walks next week, plus going out with friends or to work. I really want to do one on Monday.
    Well, I'm tired. For some reason I didn't have my afternoon nap. I suppose cos I got up at 10am :rolleyes: I didn't feel the need. I'm a bit scared to go to bed after all my nightmares last night. They were so real and vivid. Basically, I dreamed that my mum had lied to me all my life and my sister knew about it and let it slip and the rest of the dream involved arguing with my family and searching for the twins that my mum had before I was born - that was what the lie was - she'd always said she had a miscarriage but in my dream she had twins and gave them up to be adopted by a Korean family and I tracked them down! I even found out their names! How strange the things we dream are - it was all made up, no twins exist!
    I'm hoping that by writing it down on here it will get it out of my system, I hope you don't mind my bletherings!

    Night night everyone, sweet dreams xx

    Evening All :hello:

    We're back. If you want to see where we were look here :D (thanks piggers for the very nice explanation of embedded links! )

    We've had the most fantastic time. Greenbee you were so so right! Gorgeous. We want to go again, and for longer. Did you say you knew some accommodation near Bigbury? If so, I'd be really interested.

    So, home to a house in need of decluttering and cleaning, nothing like staying in a bright, light, uncluttered place to make you feel like your walls are coming in on you when you get home! :rolleyes:

    We had chinese takeaway for dinner :drool: :drool: :drool: I have decluttered a glass or two of wine. And drunk two glasses of water in an attempt to combat the dehydration currently occurring in my body! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    It's ok FFP, I think I've found you! I looked at friends of the people with your name and found other people from here in your list!
    Sarah, that place you went to looks lovely. We are going away to Devon in September with DM, DDad and DSister! It's going to be lovely,can't wait!

    Ok, really am off to bed this time, night all

    Fabulous house... I don't know of anywhere that impressive (but then I'm over the other side of the river, there's not so much space). Drop me a note of what you're looking for (and dates and budget) and I'll ask around. I've been going down there since I was a baby, as has my dad, and my grandmother before him! Lots of people go back generation after generation, so you may find you never go on holiday anywhere else now!

    If you do go back, and I'm down there at the same time, you'll have to come and visit me.

    And did you go here http://www.oystershack.co.uk/? If not, you must go next time...

    Hi everyone,
    Hope you're all having a good Bank Holiday. We bought loads of new plants today so hoping it'll stay dry tomorrow so we can get them all planted out.
    Didn't really do the list today..mainly because most of it was child related & I don't have any! I did hoover all through downstairs, cleaned the kitchen & sorted out 3 drawers in the bedroom so loads of decluttering done to the bin so think I've now managed to complete the fling a 100 things from yesterday.
    Catch you all tomorrow. x

    Re shopping but I get cross if the checkout person waits until everything is loaded on the belt before they start running things through. I guess we all have our own little ways
    But if they start putting things through before you have finished loading then they pile up at the other end:confused: (not that I ever find a checkout without a queue so I always have time to load my shopping in the order I want it at the other end)

    We didn't get the chance to do much at all. We were seeing my brother and sil, :rolleyes: and all this family that we haven't seen for 30 years! ;)
    We got to Bigbury beach a few times, went to Ringmore and Aymore Cove. Rock climbing on Haytor on Dartmoor, but the rest of the time has been spent with family. It was gorgeous. I'm not surprised you continue to go back there year after year. We've already booked our summer holiday in Ullapool, but are planning to go back again next summer. So I'll pm you at some point with roughtimates for dates and budget. Thanks GB

    Gotta go to bed, my lenses are unhappy, and need to be removed. Night All :wave:

    ETA : ooo Rose which bit are you going to? Sounds like a lovely trip.
