    Oh I meant to say about the Severn Bridge - the reason the charge you to come into Wales, is to keep the riff-raff out!! :rotfl:

    Was it still £5.30 Soappie?? I live just outside Newport - if I'd known you were going to be here I could have met you for that cup of tea and bacon roll!

    Hope the passport comes soon. I paid for the 7 day service a while ago and it came in about 3-4 days xx

    Downstairs should be all done if I get on with it tonight.

    Ive already done my bedding and the little ones bedding, so will only need to sort out the spare room tonight for my sister coming tomorrow!!!! :j (Im somewhat excited in case you cant tell!)

    The bathroom is clean already as I did it on Sunday so will just need a quick S&S and that should be it!!!! I think I might sort out an online shop too and that will save me having to go for it!!!

    Off to sort out my lists for what I need and what I need to do when I get home.

    Love n hugs to all xx

    Morning everyone, sunny here with a cool wind. Need to go up the street this morning then going to see mum. Will try and do some of the list before I go. I did a HHI before I went to bed last night. Had a strange experience this morning. For the last week Ive been looking for a bag I need for a wedding. Was sure it was in the wardrobe. Had looked and couldnt find it. Was thinking about it this morning and it came into my head exactly where it was. Got up looked in the wardrobe at the spot and there it was.

    AnWsMum Thanks for the message from Toots.
    hollh Hugs and prayers for all family and friends.
    jo Lovely to see you back.
    Toots Hope we see you online soon. Missing you.
    LL You are in my thoughts and prayers.
