    Ooh, I'm glad it's the spare rooms day as I don't have any!

    I have been doing shedloads of overtime this week and have been too shattered to Fly, so I will try and do better sometime. I promise!

    Tooch, have you checked the caravan, the glove compartment of the car and all bags/boxes that you took to the caravan with you?

    I checked the caravan, tried the car but it is seriously full of crap and there are so many little "cupboards"(not the right word for the car, but you know what I mean!!), they are on the floor and under 4 of the seats, think I will do a HHC in there tomorrow as it is truly shameful...would put off car thieves!!!!

    Have caught up with the thread now!

    mOZzy - you might regret saying that - you could have a constant stream of visitors!

    GnB - I'm looking forward to seeing Angels and Demons having read the book so thanks for the recommendation

    I'm off to see Night At The Museum 2 tomorrow evening (hopefully it won't be packed with children!!) but am planning a trip or 2 to the cinema next week too.

    Just heard that I will be paid for working at Reading this year :D Usually I just get in for free! Might need a new tent though - any recommendations?

    Not done any flying this evening - just packing! I'm not sure whether I'll be on much before we go on Saturday as tomorrow I have Big Breakfast at the kids' school, go from there to work, go back to kids' school at lunchtime to see the school nurse, back to work and then do the staff meeting in the evening with my mate. So far we've spent about 4 hours planning this staff meeting - Monday night we put all the pack of stuff together for all the stuff but we still haven't discussed who's saying what so we'll probably either both talk at once or neither of us speak! Then Friday night we are taking the case to my parents' and having tea there and then Saturday we go!

    DD came home with 2 great big scratches on her arm from school today. I was prewarned as the school rang me at work to tell me what had gone on and what was happening about it. It's the same girl that we've been having a bit of a bullying issue with for a while but it's been quiet for a bit.

    Grateful - good luck for tomorrow - hope it all goes well!

    Going to bed in a min - I need to read my notes for tomorrow really but I feel shattered so I'll probably just end up falling asleep!

    Night all
