Thanks for the lists Pigpen and the stars Soappie
I miss Toots, I had a dream about her last night. Hope she comes back soon
Welcome RocketChimp and Mambury and RiversideJo – as Sarah said take babysteps, don’t try to do everything at once. Just aim for level one to start and then when the room comes round again next week it will be easier. Ask anything you like, we are a friendly and helpful bunch! Post as much as you like - I find it encouraging to know I can come back and say what I've done - it means I get more done!
What a clever Penny you are
Michelle, nice to see you. Glad you are feeling up to getting some things sorted now. Take care of yourself – clearing up your house will definitely help you to clear your brain
SSL, I love the penguins for the top of the wedding cake – it looks fab!
Sarah, I never get why people complain about receiving messages at night. I use my phone as an alarm clock and sometimes am disturbed by messages, but never complain cos its my choice to have the phone by the bed! If they don’t want to be woken, then they shouldn’t have the phone on, or put it on silent! I prefer to text people when I remember as I would forget by the next morning!
Valli, hugs for you and your DS
I’ve given up on the idea of getting four stars, I am pleased with the state of my house and I was only one item away from my fourth star so that’s good enough for me.

Was out at my mums, so been catching up on the end-of-thread drama!!:rotfl:
I'm properly in this week :xmastree: Good luck to everyone!
I'm hoping that with all my flying this weekend (got the OH involved as well, been teaching him how to clean!!), I'll be able to keep up with you!
Glad the visualisation went well, and I'm looking forward to meeting the legendary Toots on here when she's better

Oooh, I'm all a fluster now.
I apologise for the late start. As said earlier, the phone didn't stop and there were unexpected visitors.
And Pigpen posted the new thread earlier than she has for a while. I believe I've caught up with the stars on the old thread but if I've slipped up, please let me know.
Zippy =thanks for the links Tredegar looks nice.
I did the vis and L-L - you were zapped with a veritable hailstorm in the appropriate places and Toots was zapped in a specific place.
I am now off to bed shortly. Vibes please that we get to Newport in time and that they process the passport quickly enough and without hitches so that we get back at a reasonable hour. Stars will not be updated until I'm backI am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Sir Alan has hired the wrong woman in my opinion :-("Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."
