    Helen, go for it! Some people in the past have claimed to have done the lists about five mins after HRH has posted them so you go for it if you are in the mood for flying

    I'm in, thanks Pigpen and Soappie. I might actually get something done this week! I'm pleased it's the LR as ours is a mess altho DH will be home tomorrow so will be hard to get things done

    Crafty and Lilacpixie, I meant to say earlier when you mentioned about Tartan day – when we were driving through the village yesterday on the way to Mum’s, we saw 5 or 6 young men dressed in kilts, walking boots, shirts and Stetsons with great big rucksacks on their backs. Not sure where they were walking too or from or if it was in the aid of charity, but they did look amazing!

    LilacPixie, well done on your weightloss! I have 11 stone to lose, so I am inspired by your good example! I wish I hadn’t just eaten that chocolate bar now, I got back into bad habits the last few weeks as I’ve been poorly, need to kick start that healthy eating again and exercise

    Well done MOJ2 with sorting out the printer

    Triker I hope you are better soon and that you manage to go out later – I like your new avvie but I keep forgetting it’s you! It’s very striking, love it.

    Me, good places to go around bath – Mum was telling me last night where she is going to go when she goes to Bath – The Pump Room, Sally Lunn’s and The Jane Austin Center

    Soappie hope you are soon feeling better. If you need a break from stars while you are feeling poorly I’m happy to take them for a while. I will be home most of the week as have no car and so can’t go anywhere without DH taking me or if I steal his truck! – I see Quillion has already offered, well done

    Well done Valli with all your bike fixing today

    Greenbee, very good advice for Triker

    Hugs Rach, you are bound to feel a bit emotional while you come off the pill and with all the worry about pcos and hospital appointments are never very enjoyable at the best of times. Hope you feel a bit more cheerful soon, big hugs to you xx Please keep posting to let us know if you are ok and if you need to rant/cry or what ever!
