    I have found my wedding picture CDs!
    HSstars.gifwoohoo1.gifHSstars.gif
    Hurrah!
    They have been lost for ages and it was a bit scary cos they were on the computer but it died last year so we lost everything. I decided to have a look at the bookshelves, and went through shelf by shelf (they are now much tidier! LOL!) and it turned out that they had fallen down behind some books and were wedged between two shelves.
    So i have done lots of flying, bookshelves are now nice and tidy, and the pile of mess on LR floor is now only a few items.

    Have you looked under the sofa? Where did you last use the DVD player?

    Last year, we thought the DVD player had broken so bought new accessory bag(the only way to get the leads), and it still wasn't working....turned out it was the actual tv/DVD that was broken. A friend has since fixed it but the only way we can use it without the leads(that attatch into the cigarrette lighter) is to charge the battery, but that only lasts an hour and when its a 2 hour journey to the caravan without traffic, it's a bit of a pain!!!
    Pulled the sofa out yesterday, not there nor were they in either accessory bag where all the other leads/ battery/ remote etc were.......It's a mystery!!!!

    Hello everyone, hope you are all well

    Rach WELL DONE!!!! Really pleased for you.
    Pigpen hope you are feeling better today
    sexymouse I didn't even try lol knowing they will be stowed off.
    Quillion your week sounds a little like mine, chaos! Hope you find something nice, what about late night Asdas or Tesco, they do clothes.

    I've had a busy but productive day, cancelled meeting attendance as it would have wiped the whole day out and I just really haven't got the time. From the notes, I don't think I missed much! Unfortunately the weather was not the clear day as promised, we had some rain but still managed to get one load dry and a sleeping bag almost dry.

    Kids off to school then dog walked. Had to then goto caravan shop for a new battery as ours is broken, pleased DP tried it before we went! Got a new step too, a 2 step one which will hopefully make it easier for me to get in/out & maybe stop me falling out/loosing it in wind as it's metal and looks more stable. Caravan now has everything in that will be going in it, after coming home for the keys as we forgot them again, the rest (clothes, food, wine etc) will go in the car. Noseweight checked and all strapped up ready for Friday morning, so just a case of legs up and go :) (then come back for children, pick up DPs friends wife etc etc....) relieved that is done anyway. Most deliveries have now arrived including DS2s wind up torch (really cool actually, well I had to test them), my new/second hand PINK nintendo DS with a game DSs have already stolen. Picked up the part (a guard for the boot to stop the dog scratching it) from Toyota they said wouldn't fit our car.....well it does!

    Going on the trip with DS2s school tomorrow, not ideal as I have so much to do but he is desperate for me to go for some reason.....no idea why. Anyway it's not far so I've said I will make my own way there/back so I can come back to take the dog out and see if Aldi have any of the sky dishes in they have advertised to be in from tomorrow.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
