I think sometimes they take a few days before that spacecadet feeling wears off. Hope it eases soon for you.

Oddjob nice to see you


How cool is this DD in bed :T:T She fell asleep on the hall floor next to the dog, so I've just put her in her bed.

On the flying front I have washed up, 4xWM, 1xTD, hoovered, dusted, fed the animal and talked to the animals:D:D

lil_me

[STRIKE]Clear DS2s room floor, everything boxed and piled up
Clear DS1s room floor, everything boxed and piled up [/STRIKE]
Clear DS2s cupboard in his bedroom
Empty linen cupboard into bags
[STRIKE]Disassemble DS1s bed[/STRIKE]With DPs help of course

Adding to that as I am making ok progress

Empty filing cabinet
3 washer loads - found more in the boys room in toy boxes etc :mad:
Pack shoes after flinging broken ones

Also phoned and offered M's Mum a spare PC, will just have small smart looking glass desk downstairs and use it for laptop, DS2 can have ours and she can have his. Think she's happy She's getting one of the wardrobes for Matthew's room too and probably loads more stuff when we are finishing packing :rotfl:Matthew already has a box of toys/books started before the clear out so that is going well. We need to clear some clutter so may aswell fill her house up ha ha ....

DS1s now on the futon bed for tonight, might stack the mattresses and put DS2 on there in DS1s room so I can use DS2s just for piling boxes/bags in. Might stop them emptying them as I pack them, finding 'treasures' they haven't seen for a while etc :mad: Think we'll try it and if they don't settle then I can move him back.

Please do excuse me thinking things outloud on here at the minute, helps me get my head round it, sometimes I read through and think 'what a stupid idea!' Soappie I could really do with a Gordon's right now, just fancy a G&T, not had one for ages, pah maybe when I have moved :rotfl:

Well that's given me an excuse to pour another one I am drinking this for you Lil-me - enjoy :beer:

:hello:Hi everyone!

Been busy all day, and am shattered!

DD is celebrating their 'year' with BF - he planned a surprise, and wouldn't tell her what they were doing, kept saying it would be a walk around the town where he lives, and maybe popping into Oxfam! She texted me this morning to say they were on the train to London, and then later that they had tickets to go on the London Eye, which she has wanted to do for ages. Lucky girl!

I've made use of the time to do her bedroom, so, Kid's room Done!!:D:D

I've spent the afternoon buying DS2 school shoes, and also football boots at the nearest outlet. The boots are very flash, lime green Adidas, originally £120, and reduced to £28! There are some pluses to taking a size 11...

I had a lovely visit to my Dad's - I was a bit apprehensive, as it's actually the first time I've been there since Mum went into hospital two years ago - we've always met at the hospital or nursing home. It felt just comfortable, although I half expected Mum to walk in at any moment. Then I went on to see my sister, and got home rather late. Dad has planted the loveliest little rose garden, all the roses have names like Dearest, Lovely Lady, Missing You, Golden Anniversary and so on. Nearly cried.

boddy - I'm so glad that you had a great day yesterday.

I've now forgotten all the other things I wanted to say - hugs all round then!

lil_me

Oh serena I just nearly cried reading that, what a wonderful thing for your Dad to do, oh I would have cried.

soappie, cheers, I will drink to that, with my can of pop I managed to grab as I can't be fluffed to wash a cup after I use it as I'd just finished the washing up :rotfl: bad me

Linen done, just the coats out of there to do.......DP was moaning I throw nothing out before moving *which I have* , he said last week he needed new clothes as his don't fit/are no good, so I said ok which do I throw out *oh none yet I need to check through after we move* MEN!!!

me too and I just read it. Huge hugs for you Serena.

We have spent the day stripping out the old bathroom, and the horrible tiels and the yucky avacado fittings. Emergency trip to BnQ for fittings and we now have a working white loo upstairs. Looking good but we have an 8cm drop side to side in a 2 metre wide room created from part of a corridoor, part of the old BR and the old loo,to resolve so that things are not visually wonky. I love our house very, very much but sometimes it can be rather challenging. Does it count as the BR finished if I have cleaned what little is left in there? No tiles, no floor covering, no bath/shower. Just a lovely white victorian style loo and some freshly plastered walls.

I refuse to cry though I seriously want to. I managed not to cry at the end of the film Persuasion (Jane Austin I think) when it was on the TV this afternoon as I was sorting out the front room. And I refuse to cry at such a touching rose garden.

I may allow myself a little blub when I go to bed...

Serena I did cry, was also watching xfactor - guy singing who had lost his brother to Lung Cancer aged 37. His son was so pleased his uncle had got through. Hugs for you and your lovely Dad

Hex forgot to say Thomas lunchbags in Morrisons £7.99. I can buy and post if you need me to. Not seen transformers yet, they had power rangers.

lil_me

Hex sorry must have missed that you were looking. Sainsbugs, sorry Sainsburys did have Transformers last time I looked. Argos have them too, there is one left in the one near me if you need it and can't get one.

**Sorry having a break as miffed off with packing, getting nowhere slowly! **
