    Bum.

    Just heard on the travel news there are problems on the London line. Looks like we'll have to do a bus transfer from Southampton to Eastleigh. That'll be fun! Maybe it'll be cleared by lunchtime.....

    Oh - forgot to tell you all!!!

    Yesterday, when I was leaving for work I put some wet washing in the TD so it would be dry when i came home. I keep my tumble dryer in the garage so I just carried the washing out with me when i locked up the house, put it in the dryer, then jumped straight in the car and went to work.

    Well when I came home I discovered that Id dropped a pair of knickers - a black thong to be precise on the path!!!! And they lay there all day!!

    To make things worse, the delivery men came with my new coffee table that I ordered weeks ago when I got my bonus, and they left it by the door - alomost right next to the pair of discarded undies!!!!

    It wouldnt have been so bad if no-one saw them!!! But they did, I cant believe it!

    At least they were clean!

    Oops Jo... you'll have to check more carefully in future!

    I've just posted a whole lot more stuff on freecycle - and all the stuff that hasn't gone on one group has been posted on another. While I was doing that a very cheeky pair of goldfinches were nicking the coconut fibre from my hanging basket! I thought the damage must have been cause by birds but I haven't seen them stealing it before.

    I really must get on now... two freecyclers expected this morning and still LOTS of flying, gardening and organising to do...

    I spent 2 1/2 hours last night reading it from start to finish, can't wait for today's installment...... (That's my excuse for not flying last night) :rotfl:

    Morning all - belated welcome to baby Rhys!

    I cannot get motivated this week at all and still cant shake the knackered feeling, have had no energy at all the last 2 weeks after work, study and kids to even think about anything else!

    Anyways forcing myself off my lazy butt to do something this morning will be back in 30 mins!

    Hugs to all that need one x x x
