    Evening all

    Back from Mum's, dinner was lovely and sat and looked through some old photos of Mum and her siblings.

    It was lovely to walk back into the house all tidy and clean. We have the inlaws coming tomorrow so no flying for me other than dalies. I only did the kitchen yesterday so I'll tidy/clean after lunch but no major work required yet.

    Toots as I'm late starting I'm aiming for 3 ebay items for the minute (as they are sat next to my desk) I'll look in my ebay cupboard if I have time to see what else I find. Big hugs for tomorrow and hoping all goes smoothly x

    LL how's the packing going? I pack as I list leaving the item undone at one end, I weigh it like this and then it is ready to be stuck down and labelled.

    Thanks for the links to the organised home stuff - whilst I'm home I'm taking advantage and mummy and daddy's printer :p So I'm printing all my notes for next term at uni and everything else I can think of - feeling very organised (and its moneysaving for me hehe).
    Rosepink - they are verrrry cute - still at the awwww stage where they jump on everything. I'll try to get some piccies tomorrow if you're interested... and I don't get shouted at for cluttering the thread.....:o
    Hex I'll join in with throwing 10 things a day - can't do lists til Friday when I get home but I can chuck out the stuff i still have at my parents house :T Seeing as I obviously don't need it as it's here.
    Tag - :T:D:T:D Well done for the ironing!!!! And the same to Quillion's DS for the alphabet song!

    ooooooooooooooooh Dusty you are way too good for me - so organised - thats brilliant - I used to pack and weigh but someone always wanted a photo after I had wrapped so I stopped. I have done 7 tonight.
    will get stuck in tomorrow with hex's challenge!

    Thanks to you all for your kind wishes for me for tomorrow - I am sure it will be straightforward at the beginning.
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    Rose, I ain't a vicar! Nor an Elder! And I don't generally do dogma or doctrine. But yes, Jesus wandered in the wilderness after his baptism and before his death according to the religion I was brought up in. And Easter, I believe, is done at this time of year - all to do with the first sunday after the first full moon type of stuff. Probably on the basis of an old pagan festival. But hey, as I say, I don't do the doctrine or dogma!
    A factoid to bore you! We calculate our observance of the Memorial from the moon too because that's the way the Jewish calendar worked (it was lunar).
    I've never heard of Jesus wandering in the desert before his death, he was far too busy preaching according to the Gospels. The origin of Easter is interesting, I know quite a bit about it, but perhaps that's another story!
    Well, just watched The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency which was very good! I love that programme!
    I have big plans for flying tomorrow. DH has to work :rolleyes: which is kinda good really as I can have the TV to myself! ;) And I'm going to blitz the kitchen. I'm so glad that the list is for the kitchen tomorrow as I didn't do much in there last week and it needs a good clean.

    I'll be in as usual! I cleaned the oven after dinner today so that's one thing off the list already.

    Night all.

    Dusty that is such a good idea...:T why do I never think of things to make life easier :confused:

    I have packed 14 items this evening, still waiting for a couple of payments but the PO won't be open tomorrow anyway.

    I am busy listing all my Mums' things, she died a year ago & I have the contents of her house in mine :eek: so things have to go.

    Thanks for the list Pigpen hope you sleep better tonight.

    Toots (((hugs))) for tomorrow hun, remember I'm there with you xx

    Happy Birthday msgnomey hope you had a good day

    Night All

    xx

    SoftheSW you have a patchwork quilt! Oh do post a picture puh-lease! I would love to make one and started collecting all the items you need according to a book my mum has, but then I got a bit bogged down with other stuff. Still often think of doing it, it’s the cutting out of the squares that scares me. The book says you have to be ever so accurate or it can be a disaster.

    SSL, that makes sense about the reflection and contemplation. It is such an important event isn’t it. Yes, I enjoy hearing about different beliefs too. It’s interesting hearing how other people do things.

    Carol, I would love to see pictures! I sometimes go and look at this Lambcam which is quite cute! Thanks Pigpen for teaching me how to do this link! I really hope it works, I've never done one before!

    Toots, big hugs and virtual hand holding for tomorrow xx

    Boddy hope your headache clears up, night night

    Night all, MOTD has started which is my cue to go and do something else as far from the TV as possible!LOL!

    Sweet dreams everyone xx

    Greenbee where abouts in Norfolk are you parents? I have family in Hunstanton so we go a couple of times if not more each year.

    About 6 miles away (inland) - it's the nearest place to find petrol/supermarket pretty much. Hope your last day at work goes well.

    I'm not going to be in for the beginning of the week, as I'm not at home... however, if I accidentally do some flying I'll post (think I'm disinfecting the spare bathroom tomorrow :rolleyes:).

    Thanks Pigpen & Toots. And good luck with your treatment toots. You know we'll all be thinking of you.

    Congratulations TAG

    Is anyone else going to UKAware next Friday or Saturday? If so, I can meet up either Friday afternoon or any time Saturday.
