    Girls, I've had some really, really bad news, not really ready to share just yet, but I'm sorry if I'm not online a lot over the next few weeks. Will try and FLY as much as I can, but will see.

    Greenbee - We bought some regulation sized stickers from one of those cheapo car bits shops to make a number plate for the trailer - DHs car belongs to work so we don't have the V5, nowhere high street would make him one without it at the time - couple of years ago.

    Zara - hugs, hope whatever it is works itself out as best as it can.

    Cheers Dusty/Lil me. Off to buy shoes and lunchboxes Tuesday but at least have a good idea of where to try. Call me strange but I do hate shopping :o.

    Downstairs all tidy again but upstairs is just full of plaster dust and yuck. No point tidying till he has finished upstairs though and he has more plastering to do today. We are both on a CBA day so I doubt much more will get done.

    Zara, huge hugs, I hope things get better for you soon.

    Boddy, you don't live anywhere near Hexham do you. I am retired too and go in there every week. Could meet for a coffee sometime.

    soappie very belated hugs. I am having lots of breaks from my laptop at present so missed your message last night.

    hollyh I hope your headache is better soon.

    I hope today is a good day for you.

    DK I am really dreading the next few weeks as they all go away. Next weekend we have a wedding to go to when DS3 goes away to college for the first time. DD and SIL are taking him and I am a bit relived because I know I would cry. He is only going about 50 miles, back to my old hometown. Just wait until next Easter when he goes off to sea.
    Lil_me I don't know where you find the energy for all that you are doing.Don't forget to take some 'me' time

    fee I wish I was nearer to you. Cumbria is a bit too far!

    ffp I am glad things have settled down and that your meds are working. I am still thinking of you.

    Toots have fun, and I hope you get to see the dolphins. I hope the weather improves for you too. It is grey and miserable here today.
