    thifty remind us about the viewing on thursday so we can send positive vibes - any feedback from the last one? And VERY well done on the weight loss and Slimmer of the Week - I bet that boosted you! And thats brilliant about the offer - hope they come back and give you what you want/need.
    valli you worry me - are you sure you should be allowed to surf un-accompanied:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    holly sis is getting there - she justs needs a little more help but I will work on her!:D
    FFP well done with the studying - you will be caught up by friday I am sure.:T
    feefee its AnW'sMum's way of dealing with her messy house/clutter etc - she picks a spot - A SPOT not a room - lets say its a chair in the lounge - clears of everything, deep cleans it, and only puts back what should be ther - then sorts out all the stuff that she has cleared from the spot. - the trick is to keep that SPOT clear clean and tidy and then pick another spot - maybe not that day depending on what you are doing - and do the same - the idea is join up all the good clean spots to get round the room and house- hey presto just like dot2dot!
    kazm well done getting the stuff away today :T:T and just to add to what everyone else has said - what lovely news

    It's hard work keeping on top of all of this flying and working full time but worth it at the weekend when I can more or less relax. Apart from second job. *sigh*
