    Woohoo only 29 weeks to go:j! must do some DIY this weekend - how fab:rolleyes:... Just wee things though like fixing handles and beading that need doing. maybe a little painting...
    Have a vague recollection that I NEED to go into the big town today for something but can't for the life of me remember why...memory is fading fast! I'm sure whatever it is can wait till next weekend but I really need to write it down when I remember:o.

    Hmmm I did that last year Skinty, just knew I needed to get something one weekend and couldnt remember what.

    I remembered at 7pm on the Sunday night before boys went back to school..........DS2 needed school shoes and had to go first day back in his scruffy ones from the year before which were too small:o

    thank goodness for greedy late night Metrocentre shops on the Monday:rotfl:

    Enjoy your DIY if that is humanly possible.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    There's just over a week to go till schools go back here so that was my other train of thought but have all clothes, bag, lunch bag and shoes so don't think it's that either. Mr T and Mr A are open 24 hrs here so if it is something like that they'll just have to do:D! I think most of the shops are open tomorrow so maybe it'll come back to me today...

    IMO DIY is never fun - unless it's the demolishing type stuff. Still the place should look a bit better once I'm done which will be good!

    oops, had friends round unexpectedly so haven't accomplished much yet.

    remembered eventually I was going to the pound shop for conditioner and facial wipes but didn't go into town so got them at boots instead using my points. I don't like cheap conditioner but decided to give Boots own a try - hoping I don't look like Hair Bear by the end of the week!
